This will be my first time competing in any sport on behalf of the Marine Corps. Being a part of this team and these trainings has done a lot for my mental and physical health. The people I have met have made all the difference in my recovery from various mental and physical disabilities. It has brought back the brother/sisterhood of the Marine Corps I had been missing for the longest time. I am excited to compete side by side with the family I have created here. This is a side of the Marine Corps that not many get to be a part of and I could not be more thankful that it was brought to me when I needed it the most.
