Being a First Sergeant has to be the coolest yet most challenging job in the military! From childhood to becoming an adult, I have always enjoyed helping others. Although I had three different career fields, I found that becoming a first sergeant was my passion, primarily because I soon realized that job was all about people. Helping people develop road maps to what they identified as success: whether achieving the next rank, building professional relationships, finishing school, changing thier attitude or even helping them through difficulties. As a first sergeant, my job was very fulfilling because I got to see first hand how "Shirts" lead people while helping them grow and accomplish their dreams! It was never about position, just people.

I had the coolest job ever. I can't speak for Medics, but as a Corpsman, I was able to do things that none of my civilian counterparts would ever dream of. The same was true of my time in hospitals, and with the Marines!

SEAL but not everyone is cutout to one of those guys. I liked being a PN because I could help guide a Sailor's career and offer advice/recommendations. A big plus is that I knew the personal side of the crew instead of on just a professional basis. I knew the good, the bad and the ugly.

I had so many during my time in the Marine Corps, from Platoon Sergeant with 1st F.A.G., 1st MarDiv, FMF then with the spooks in Hawaii, on board ships with my fellow shipmates on the U.S.S. Blue Ridge, Iwo, the old Enterprise, just name a few. But, I can tell you that going through all of the Marine Corps rank structure from Private to Gunnery Sergeant, then on to WO1 to Chief Warrant Officer 3, Data Comm Maintenance Officer/Electronics Maintenance Officer and working with other officers in the other branches of service. Now that was my coolest job ever. I thank everyone who had some great stories to share and who served their Branch of Service Proudly.
Semper Fidelis To All Comarades In Arms,

JK

My favorite time as a Marine was while stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as a crypto technician/teletype repairman.

Crypto Tech/ Teletype repairman. That's some heavy stuff. Must have worked in the SCIF too, right? JK

CH (MAJ) William Beaver Sir mine would have to be 92G, Food Service, I love what I do and the results I get from it. Seeing my troops being fed and liking what we cooked. I know we can't please everyone, but I just tell them either that or MRE. Usually that works...lol
