My name is Private First Class Kaumba ,

00:07.260 --> 00:10.949
and I am a 92 Foxtrot with the 936

00:10.949 --> 00:13.500
support company here in Benville , and

00:13.500 --> 00:15.667
I've been in the army close to 2 years

00:15.667 --> 00:17.667
now . In November I'll be ranking 2

00:17.667 --> 00:21.020
years . I joined the army because I

00:21.020 --> 00:23.819
wanted um money for college as well as

00:23.819 --> 00:26.045
I wanted my . Citizenship um to become

00:26.045 --> 00:28.225
a citizen in the United States . I

00:28.225 --> 00:30.281
immigrated here from Zambia tore out

00:30.281 --> 00:32.485
with my family um that was separated

00:32.485 --> 00:34.652
from for about 20 years . The National

00:34.652 --> 00:36.763
Guard has opened opportunities for me

00:36.763 --> 00:38.763
basically to further my education .

00:38.763 --> 00:40.874
That was like the biggest thing , but

00:40.874 --> 00:42.763
also I've learned like leadership

00:42.763 --> 00:44.874
skills . I've learned people skills .

00:44.874 --> 00:47.096
But furthermore I just continue to stay

00:47.096 --> 00:49.590
in because I'm trying to bring on other

00:49.590 --> 00:51.757
people to show that they could be part

00:51.757 --> 00:54.139
of a team to serve their country and

00:54.340 --> 00:56.110
the United States as a whole .
