We all are proud of what we are, Soldiers, Marines, Sailors or Airmen, we serve with pride every day we put our uniform on. When we were kids, often people asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?" A Pilot, a Doctor, a Engineer, a Soldier, etc.
Further than Serving, did you find your dream job in your Branch of Service? Maybe you always wanted to be a Police Officer and today you are a MP (31B), or you wanted to be something related to Medicine and now you are a Health Care Specialist (68W) or even a Medicine Officer.

I wanted to be a cook, I got to be a cook. Hard work and 3 suspenses a day and fun people to work with. Plus I was a goddess in the field. Mess Momma was a title I held in high esteem.

Absolutely. I joined the Field Artillery for one simple reason. To blow stuff up. And I've loved every minute of it. Leaving Active Duty and joining the civilian world, true there's not a whole lot of jobs for a Field Artilleryman, but I did use the skills learned to excel, and in the National Guard, I've found my Active Duty skills are in very high demand still!

I began as a Fire Support Officer, so I saw the rounds coming in, and as a Platoon Leader, there is nothing that beats seeing four howitzers firing 155mm shells at the same time! Boom! Haha

I was fortunate enough to be able to pick my MOS after I was in the military. During my service I was a striker to which at first was not that good. However, during boot camp I was able to choose something that I would not have been able to do later on in my career. I was able to choose submarines and yes I did not get the best jobs but I think it gave me the opportunity to make a great choice of becoming a Yeoman.

Interesting that you should say that. I got forced into being a Yeoman. However, once I got onboard the sub, I realized that everyone has multiple jobs and I could do whatever I wanted. So I trained to be a Radio Operator, Fire Control Tech, SONAR Operator plus Ship's Photographer. Had I not been retired out for medical reasons, I'd have more than likely done some back aft quals as well.
