I’m a SGT (E-5) in the Army National Guard. I am the Supply NCO for my unit. I love my job. I have been with my unit for my entire Army career, people tell me I should move and get more experience somewhere else, meet new people. While all of these things are certainly true but with the lots of new faces that come and go I feel like I have a new unit every few years.

I can’t say enough great things about the National Guard. One weekend a month, two weeks a year. Drill weekends can sometimes be Friday, Saturday, Sunday but more often than not they’re Saturday and Sunday. The two weeks a year usually falls during the summer time. Only about a year ago I became my unit’s PAO, Public Affairs Officer. I love it! My unit is a signal unit, so computers and radios and other stuff like that. I say this with 100% love for my unit and they know, they are geeks.It’s fun to take pictures of them because then I’m out there with them.
