The Transitional Specialist always provided me with words of encouragement as I struggled to complete high school. They helped me see there was a bigger world out there and I really wanted to travel. I was able to graduate high school and they assisted me with getting me my high school ring, filling out forms and helping me with the requirements for the Army.
