Do you have any additional hobbies and activities that you participate?

sam-y Likes Earned: 1 Thanks for the response! I exited the military summer 2022, so have been in a corporate role for just over two years. I'd say I've had a relatively large impact at my job. Service to school has been amazing, and thanks for the note on vets clubs! Definitely limited on the extra-curricular activities. I'm a marathoner, but not much else that I plan on talking about. Thanks again for your thoughts and advice! (1)
