Sgt. Mildred Rodriguez: I actually just like to be in the military because I like to travel. [00:00:04]
Sgt. Wayne Erickson: It's like the Navy, you see more of the countryside, you see more of the land; you go places. The Army you usually go one place [00:00:10], you'll stay there for a little bit, go to another place, it's more stationary. Same thing with the Marine Corp, you're living more stationary [00:00:15] but sometimes you get deployed on the ships and you can go other places like with the Navy.
Senior Airman Jennifer Gayheart: I have loved everywhere I've got to go because I love [00:00:20] to travel. My favorite place to go would probably be South America.
MST2 Anicia Hokanson: In this job alone [00:00:25], I just got back from Puerto Rico a couple weeks ago; I was at an oil spill there. I've been to [00:00:30] Washington D.C. cleaning up ricen. I've been to [00:00:35] a bunch of different states from Maine down to Florida. I've gone to schools out in [00:00:40] Idaho, Colorado.
Sgt. Mildred Rodriguez: Fort Huachuca, which is in Arizona, Fort Lennonwood, that's where I did [00:00:45] basic training, Fort Dix.

SSgt. See Yong Cheow: And it was really cool, you know, nobody else in my [00:01:10] family could do that. And most of my friends have never left the town.

Lt. Dennis Wischmeier: Azores, Canada, all over the place [00:01:20].
Sgt. Mildred Rodriguez: It makes me appreciate life more.
Senior Airman Jennifer Gayheart: I basically took everything I learned in high school and [00:01:25] put it in perspective because you get to see everything that you learned and like [00:01:30] all through high school you kind of go through everything. And to see it, it's [00:01:35] really awesome.
