Farewell to Five Years

Today was my last day in the Army.  It was an awesome experience.  A week before I called a recruiter you couldn't have convinced me that I was going to join.  It was a split second decision that I made.  I hoped that I would be able to pay off massive amounts of debt and propel my life and professional life forward.  I could have never guessed how much more that I would have gotten out of it.

In February 2008 I went to Basic and then I went on to commission after Officer Candidate School.  I went to another school after that and then Engineer Officer Course and I was branched as an Engineer Officer.  I was stationed at Fort Jackson, SC and then I moved to Fort Bliss, TX where I am now.  It's been five years that I have described in detail in my last few months of job interviews.  I used a civilian recruiter when I decided to get out, and they got me what I hope will be an awesome job!
