"I've just always had an interest in the military. We're the good guys against the bad. So it was an obvious choice to enlist with security forces. Even when I was a young kid I always wanted to be a cop because I admired them for doing what they do. I've seen a lot of evil in my life and I want to do my part to stop it.We're the ones people depend on." (by SrA. Kelly Galloway)
