Considering that I have yet to deploy, I would have to say that my highlighted and most cherished memory of my so-far Military career would be when I was awarded the APFT award in AIT for achieving the highest overall score of both the males and females. It is something that I do not promote nor that I brag about considering I do not practice PT the way I was. Hopefully, in my next 1-1 1/2 years left, I will have a more highlighted memory for my career.

Highest APFT score in the unit, both male and female? That's impressive, and you clearly meant business! :) Btw, during your time in the military when the really exciting and memorable times show up, enjoy them the best that you can, cause it will fly by and over with before you know it.. Have a great day!

Very simply the day I knew for myself that the title, "Soldier" applied. The day I knew format self that I am, and will always remain an American Soldier.

Putting the ink on the paper. The amazing people for whom I've had the opportunity to work with. My highlight would be one product the TF Vanguard AOR Map OIF /OND 10-11. Just my doing my part

Tough to pick one. Probably being selected for a regular commission at the 2 year commissioned point.
Accepting it turned out to be bad, but, it was a honor at the time.

Very bittersweet one was showing up at my retired Command Sergeant Major's Funeral and Wake. We were a tight-knit and laid back type of unit and you could tell it made his wife feel good to know that his soldiers still cared to show up at his funeral. She introduced me as one of his soldiers and bragged about how nice it was for me to invite him and her to my wedding.
Funeral details always were tough but rewarding.
