Just finished my Junior Sailor of the Quarter Board!

Even though I've been in for 10 years, this will be the first time I've been recommended for any such award.

I'm honored and grateful for the opportunity.

How many times have you asked yourself this question?

And it is a daring question, for the answer is not hidden. Everyone around you knows the answer.

Sometimes you have to acknowledge that what you've achieved is not the path that will take you to your better self. Even if you're good at what you do, sometimes the path that you've undertaken might not be worth it.

All my dreams were halted.

2 years later here I stand, as Station Leading Petty Officer, first from the Station that I wanted to work from, and now to the Station that I was moved to originally. Even though my dream of becoming the best recruiter in my station was shutdown, the outcome became even better than expected.

That's why this career is the best. That's why there is no other organization like the
