WEBVTT 00:01.020 --> 00:02.909 I chose the marines over the army 00:02.909 --> 00:05.187 because the standards they hold really , 00:05.187 --> 00:07.353 the intensity level is a lot different 00:07.353 --> 00:09.409 to . I mean I've seen videos of boot 00:09.409 --> 00:11.464 camp and it's just a lot different . 00:11.464 --> 00:13.600 The intensity level . My MOS that I 00:13.600 --> 00:17.210 chose is aviation mechanic and the 00:17.210 --> 00:19.377 basics that I know that we're going to 00:19.377 --> 00:21.266 learn about that is the hydraulic 00:21.266 --> 00:23.432 systems , um , jet propulsion theory . 00:23.432 --> 00:25.599 And then I , what I was told by one of 00:25.599 --> 00:27.766 the recruiters , gunny surgery Milan , 00:27.766 --> 00:29.432 he said it was gonna be a lot 00:29.432 --> 00:31.766 differently each day that we go forward . 00:31.766 --> 00:34.310 Like there's not gonna be one day where 00:34.310 --> 00:36.366 it's gonna be the same thing you did 00:36.366 --> 00:38.477 the day before . So I'm going to boot 00:38.477 --> 00:41.160 camp in about a week and a half and I'm 00:41.160 --> 00:43.271 a little nervous but at the same time 00:43.271 --> 00:45.493 I've been getting more excited to go as 00:45.493 --> 00:47.660 it's been getting closer each day gets 00:47.660 --> 00:50.530 closer to becoming a marine for me and 00:50.540 --> 00:53.120 I want that challenge for myself . And 00:53.130 --> 00:55.297 not only that I want to make my family 00:55.297 --> 00:57.463 and my friends and everything , I want 00:57.463 --> 00:59.574 to make them proud . I want to become 00:59.574 --> 01:01.686 someone . So what excites me the most 01:01.686 --> 01:03.852 about earning the title a marine is to 01:03.852 --> 01:06.210 be a part of this huge brotherhood that 01:06.220 --> 01:08.220 all the marines before me have gone 01:08.220 --> 01:11.500 through and to have that honor to even 01:11.510 --> 01:14.380 call myself a marine or to be called a 01:14.380 --> 01:14.940 marine . 01:23.290 --> 01:25.530 I joined the Marine corps to be a part 01:25.530 --> 01:27.697 of something bigger than myself . That 01:27.697 --> 01:29.863 sense of brotherhood . Uh , definitely 01:29.863 --> 01:32.086 exemplified by becoming a load master . 01:32.086 --> 01:35.260 My MoS is 60 to 76 fixed wing load 01:35.260 --> 01:38.100 master on the KC 1 30 J . I found out 01:38.100 --> 01:40.267 about it from my recruiter and from my 01:40.267 --> 01:43.040 family and I picked it because I heard 01:43.040 --> 01:45.207 that it was the best job around and it 01:45.207 --> 01:47.262 hasn't proved me wrong yet . I chose 01:47.262 --> 01:49.373 that . This was gonna be the best fit 01:49.373 --> 01:51.651 for me because it's very team oriented . 01:51.651 --> 01:53.762 You're working with up to five people 01:53.762 --> 01:56.040 in an aircraft up to eight hours a day . 01:56.040 --> 01:57.707 Uh , and you have to learn to 01:57.707 --> 01:59.818 communicate effectively and work as a 01:59.818 --> 02:02.040 team , which is one of the main reasons 02:02.040 --> 02:04.151 why I joined the marine corps and you 02:04.151 --> 02:06.207 also get to experience a lot of cool 02:06.207 --> 02:08.318 different things fly around the world 02:08.318 --> 02:10.596 and help people and do real admissions . 02:11.390 --> 02:13.200 My favorite part of the job is 02:13.200 --> 02:16.700 definitely completed admission , fill 02:16.700 --> 02:18.867 an airplane full of cargo , getting it 02:18.867 --> 02:21.089 to where it needs to go and then coming 02:21.089 --> 02:24.020 back safely . I have a couple of family 02:24.020 --> 02:26.350 members that have served my mother and 02:26.350 --> 02:28.530 father both did . My older brother and 02:28.530 --> 02:31.330 sister both enlisted as well . My 02:31.330 --> 02:34.140 brother is currently still active duty 02:34.140 --> 02:35.862 so it's pretty cool to get the 02:35.862 --> 02:37.973 opportunity to serve with them . What 02:37.973 --> 02:41.090 excites me the most about my experience 02:41.090 --> 02:42.868 and learning the title marine , 02:42.868 --> 02:45.090 definitely the people that I've met and 02:45.090 --> 02:47.146 the people I come to work with every 02:47.146 --> 02:49.201 day . Uh , the experiences that I've 02:49.201 --> 02:51.312 gained and the things that I'll never 02:51.312 --> 02:53.534 get back . It's worth it in the end . I 02:53.534 --> 02:55.646 think everyone always remembers their 02:55.646 --> 02:57.868 time being a marine . You have to stick 02:57.868 --> 02:57.760 with it ups and downs and just be 02:57.760 --> 02:59.982 expeditious . Everything always changes 02:59.982 --> 03:02.100 and you have to be able to adapt and 03:02.100 --> 03:04.322 overcome in any situations as marines . 03:05.090 --> 03:07.330 I've got a lot of professional and 03:07.330 --> 03:09.552 personal growth out of the Marine Corps 03:09.552 --> 03:11.730 and have a lot of big things coming up 03:11.730 --> 03:14.630 so that you can't get anywhere else .
