Our guest blog for today is from 2LT Don Gomez who recently completed Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia and branched Infantry. Here he discusses being in the U.S. Army as an non-commissioned officer during September 11, 2001, leaving the Army and returning to complete Officer Candidate School.
Ten years ago I joined the Army as a young man curious about military service and looking for adventure. Five years ago I left the Army as a disciplined Non-Commissioned Officer with a spirit for service. Now, after finishing college on the Post-9/11 GI Bill, I rejoined the Army and recently graduated from Officer Candidate School (OCS).
