Favorite thing about working for the Army: Traveling! Since working for the Army, I have gotten to travel to Washington, D.C., New York, Colorado, California, Virginia, and even Alaska.
What made you want to work for the Army: Once I graduated from William and Mary, I knew that I wanted to find a career, not just a job, and move to somewhere new and travel. When I saw the posting for the Army internship, it just felt like a good fit. Not only did I get to step into something totally new and different, but I also: moved to Alabama, traveled to a bunch of pretty cool places, had both on-the-job training and formal coursework, and will have many future opportunities for a graduate degree or advanced Army training programs.
