My number one goal is to complete at least 20 years in the military while traveling with my significant other to places all over the world. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 10 years I see myself still in the military as a technical sergeant, or even better a master sergeant with a bachelor's degree from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.
