 My name is David Wallace and I'm the project manager for the military relations team with Lockheed Martin, and I'm a proud Navy veteran. On board a ship, we would take part in firefighting drills, and I worked my way up to be an on-scene leader, and that means you're in charge of the entire firefighting team. And my very first time that I was in charge of a drill, that was really the moment that I had. Wow, I'm doing something important here, and I've got a lot of compliments from that, and it just grew from there. Everybody becomes one. That's why everybody's wearing the same uniform, everybody's looking and acting the same. You start getting it while you're going through boot camp, you know, they break you down and then build you back up to where this way you can actually learn from it. It's the very first part of really having life experiences and understanding as you go. As a team, you're coming together and you're developing that trust amongst each other, and that's just something that just comes natural. You're expected to have everybody know their position, and, you know, as a leader, you do that as well. Same thing with any other management role that I had in the Navy. You know, it's a teamwork environment. Everybody, whether you're the one that's the manager in charge of the team or the office, everybody comes together and works together for one common purpose, one common goal. You're experiencing hands-on. Your real-life situations come to play. No matter whether it's learning, you learn so many different skill sets, you know, you're wearing many different hats. It's not just the job. You know, I was a photographer starting out and ended up as a recruiter, but along the way I learned supply. I learned logistics. I learned time management skills. You learn so many different things along the way that by the time your career is over with, you're amazed with all the different skill sets that you've learned along the way. You go back to all the foundational things. You've got that commitment. You've got that honor for what you're wanting to do. With the job that I'm doing right now, it's giving back to the veterans that have come after me and are getting ready to transition out. So what I've learned is, from my recruiting experience, how to talk with people, how to interact, and just learning and seeing the different cultures and diversities of knowing how to interact with these people to help mentor them as they're getting out.
