 Being an Air Force Junior OTC, I was pretty sure I was going to join the service. We've all seen those Marine Corps recruiting videos, so really their selling point is challenge. And so that's what I was up for. The physical challenge, being part of a team, something bigger, and the camaraderie in the brotherhood. I am Master Sergeant Jennifer Scott, and I am the Equal Opportunity Advisor for One Marine Expeditionary Force. I think just growing up, I've always been kind of involved in some kind of sport. And I played soccer, I think about seven years of my childhood, on co-ed teams, which usually wind up being the only female, or one of two females on the whole soccer team. I played basketball, I ran track, I did the fitness team on ROTC, and so I just, I guess it just really, it really took an interest to sports and being athletic and being physically challenged. What CrossFit's helped me with is to be able to better keep my composure, which also I find applies with any type of stressful environment, whether it's, you know, pre-deployment training or, let's say, in combat. You know, there's a lot of chaos going on, a lot of fast thinking, but can you stay focused on what the objective is? I think, because my mom instilled in me that, you know, I can do whatever I want and be whatever I want if I put my mind to it and my heart into it or if I want it bad enough. She was big on knowing what I wanted to do and when I knew what I wanted to do, just putting everything I had into that and having, in practicing it and having patience and just never giving up on that.
