What's the most important thing you've learned at NBSS?
The most important thing I've learned is probably patience. From learning new things and sitting in lessons I've already had to teaching other students what I know, patience is key.
What did you do before coming to NBSS?
Before coming to NBSS, I was a Combat Engineer in the USMC. Expedient framing, roofing, laying and repairing concrete slabs, laying concrete block, cutting trees down, expedient bridging, using different explosives, sweeping for landmines, and booby traps. Fun fact, we are taught all those thing in two months total in the school house where we learn our jobs.
What's your favorite place to be?
Funnily enough, I love being at NBSS.
