In his own words:
Over the summer I was an assault course cadre. This past summer, the assault course was a whole lot different with all the Covid restrictions, but we still managed to make it a challenging and rewarding part of basic training. 
After graduation, I hope to become an officer in the Space Force. Ever since the addition of the Space Force to our branches of the military I have been intrigued and feel like I would really enjoy the new aspects that the Space Force has to offer.
Something that I have learned from Covid-19 is to always be flexible. We never know what is going to change in the near future and we never know what this world is going to throw at us, so the ability to adapt and overcome uncertain situations has been huge for me.
