 My name is Carl Morgan, and I'm the Regional Operations Director for the Greater Washington Area, Johns Hopkins, and I'm a proud Navy veteran. I'm originally from Tampa, Florida. I joined the Navy in 1982 as a hospital corpsman. As a submariner, I learned obviously about the job as a submariner as a hospital corpsman or independent duty, taking care of the crew and being the one that they relied on to make the calls that could make or break a mission. But even more importantly, I think whenever I became a command master chief, being able to direct the life of a leader as a leader towards sailors and develop them and watch them grow and be able to mentor them into the Navy to make a better choice for themselves. Well the job satisfaction I received from that was watching sailors grow, being able again to teach sailors, being able to watch the hospital perform its mission successfully always and on time. Being able to learn from my boss as my leaders exactly what I needed to do to be able to succeed in the job and now in my civilian life. Sailors getting out of the Navy and those that have already exited the Navy have very marketable skills. They have opportunities. There are opportunities out there every day. They just have to look for them. As I said before, life isn't always easy. You do have to put some time into it. But if you put that time and dedication into it and show what you have learned in the Navy, which is that honor, that dedication, that commitment, that courage, you'll be picked up by somebody looking to hire you. They want you.
