00:05.099 --> 00:07.699
So I got exposed to the Army

00:07.699 --> 00:09.960
Acquisition Corps , uh , post command .

00:10.409 --> 00:12.465
I was part of an organization called

00:12.465 --> 00:14.687
Operational Test Command , and they did

00:14.687 --> 00:16.742
testing for new equipment before the

00:16.742 --> 00:18.909
Army fielded it . Part of that , I got

00:18.909 --> 00:21.131
exposed to Army Acquisition Corps , and

00:21.131 --> 00:23.242
I really loved it . Uh , through that

00:23.242 --> 00:25.409
experience , I learned more about Army

00:25.409 --> 00:28.329
contracting . And uh I learned that you

00:28.329 --> 00:30.489
can continue to progress through your

00:30.489 --> 00:32.433
army career , still be a battalion

00:32.433 --> 00:34.656
commander , a brigade commander , which

00:34.656 --> 00:37.639
is a goal of mine , um , but ultimately

00:37.639 --> 00:39.639
learning about the Army acquisition

00:39.639 --> 00:42.680
Corps , I made the decision based on

00:43.250 --> 00:45.361
the job opportunities that are within

00:45.361 --> 00:48.180
the army and then , um , what

00:48.180 --> 00:50.236
experiences that you can have in the

00:50.236 --> 00:52.347
Army acquisition Corps . So something

00:52.347 --> 00:54.513
that really inspired me . Um , was not

00:54.513 --> 00:56.569
only to be able to impact day to day

00:56.569 --> 00:58.680
soldier lives , uh , through contract

00:58.680 --> 01:00.624
solutions , but also impacting the

01:00.624 --> 01:01.569
total army as a whole .
