What is your Rate/MOS/Specialty? Would you change it if possible?

SSG Derrick L. Lewis MBA, C-HRM fair enough. I like your analogy and "life thesis" as it were.

SCPO (Join to see) -Appreciate it my man, however I never viewed it as a "Life Thesis", just a simple man from a poor background and broken home out of Washington D.C. looking to make something out of nothing. I grind everyday that ends with a "Y"; with a daughter prepping for college (In which I owe her a debt free education, like me, all the way to the Doctorate level), I have a wife that supported everything that I have done up to this minute, and a son who has yet to find his way (College, no other option); however he is gaining scouts from the Kansas Jayhawks and Kentucky Wildcats for basketball. All of this coupled with 2 cats and 1 dog while being a Soldier with 2 years left towards retirement.

Cynthia Croft -Thank you for the words of encouragement. To answer your question, as I prepare for my next chapter, my ultimate goal is be the next Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for Amazon.com. I have been posturing myself for this particular position since the 10 year mark in the Army (2009). Just awaiting the opportunity to get my foot in the door. However, if it does not work, I will glide towards the next golden opportunity that may come about. Not necessarily sure what that is but I will put it in God's hands with zero reservations. Be well, my lady.
