 My name is Sergeant Robert Atwood. I'm the senior dream soldier between 3044. For me, I'm really passionate about what I do. I love the Marine Corps. I love everything the Marine Corps has to offer and the thought of being able to put a little bit of Sergeant Atwood into the Marine Corps and influence the Marine Corps in a positive way. Just fascinated me being able to influence, you know, young kids' lives and to do something that I'm passionate about what I love to do is a great feeling to me. Being around recruits and seeing the transition that they go from forming to second phase, third phase and initially graduation is the best reward that you can possibly imagine. Being able to go back to the fleet and seeing some of them in your unit that you go back to or hearing about them from your old unit saying that, you know, you were their drill instructor, you were their senior drill instructor and how positive of an influence they make on that unit, it's pretty rewarding. Termination operations, execution, coordinating the instruction. That end result of all the hard, you know, hard times and effort that you put into and sacrifices and the things that you expect to go into training a civilian into a recruit into a Marine is has to be the most memorable. The look on their family's faces of their child that they sent out coming back a man transformed, it's a pretty good feeling.
