軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

Hot sticky rice, kim chee, poi, lomi salmon, portugese sausage, manapua (char siu bao), miso shiru, miso pork, kalua pig.

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

1. Getting along in a multi-cultural setting and developing team work on an ad hoc basis. 2. Learning to like potato, chipped beef on toast, biscuits and gravy, deep fried catfish, grits. 3. For both myself and my family, lessons learned most is to strive for excellence in any environment on a benign mode.
