I wanted to join the Navy right out of high school. I went in search of a Navy recruiter office to enlist when I graduated. I went into the DEP program before I left for basic training in January 1995. When I initially went into the office, I was impressed with the discipline and professionalism of the military members in the office. They wanted me to enlist and motivated me to get through all of the steps I needed to accomplish to enlist. I had to take the ASVAB test and score at a certain level to get the type of job I wanted to do.
