Had an interesting question come into my head while sitting at work today. The question, can you sum up your military experience into just one word? If so, what is that one word?

Think of this as part of an exercise to build your personal elevator pitch you need to deliver when you go on an interview. You want to be quick and to the point. So can you? I know several words come to my mind to sum up my 8. 5 years. Words like crazy, fast, surprising, confusing, exciting, interesting, and terrifying all come to my mind, but if I had to pick just one, I would pick crazy.

I think we can all agree with you 1SG (Join to see). And the cost goes way above money.
