During Milwaukee Armed Forces Week May 11-16, 2020, we support our currently serving military.
Today we honor U.S. Marine Corps Major Marcus Carlstrom, the Inspector/Instructor at the USMC Reserve Center in Milwaukee. Carlstrom is assigned to a new position as Operations Officer for Officer Programs at Marine Corps Recruiting Command, Quantico, Virginia, and will manage all commissioning programs within the Marine Corps as of 1 July 2020.  

Why would you recommend military service to young men and women thinking about their next steps today?
 
"My recommendation for military service to young men and women does not come as a one-size-fits-all kind of recommendation.  This is because every individual has individual needs and desires, goals and purposes, and skills and interests.  That said, what all young men and women can expect to gain from military service are:
  • Pride and honor of serving one’s country
  • Discipline, integrity, and work ethic
  • Financial stability (salary-based income with several allowances and entitlements, health care, life insurance, and college tuition assistance)
  • Technical skills training that can/will transfer to the civilian sector
  • Teamwork training and experience
  • Leadership training and experience
"Bottom line, whether you decide to serve one enlistment or make a career out of the military, you will not regret that decision.  It will be challenging mentally, morally, and physically, but so is life. You will come out the other end a much better person and will know the true meaning of servant leadership."

Thank you, Major Marcus Carlstrom, for your dedication and service in our U.S. Armed Forces.
