    Michelle Halleran
    My Name is Michelle Halleran. I went into the USN under their Delayed Entry Program (I was a senior in high school) in February 1994. I was sent to active duty status in the USNR in June 1994 upon graduation from high school. I went to basic training at NTC Orlando; then I was sent to NTC San Diego for school to be trained as a Mess Management Specialist (basically a cook). My first duty station was at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Virginia (1994-1996). I was transferred to the Naval Sub Base in Groton, Connecticut and served on two dry docks there before I was released from active duty status as a Petty Officer Third Class (E-4 pay grade) in December 1998. Serving my country was one of the best experiences of my life.

    I served my country for eight years. I have fought in two minor conflicts and two major wars, Desert Shield and Desert Storm. I have traveled around the world twice. I have had many different jobs in the military: truck driver, mechanic, generator mechanic, and infantryman. I have trained with military people from many different countries: Spain, Africa, Germany, Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, South Korea, Japan, China, Australia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and more. And with some elite forces also. I have had a chance to fellowship with people of different nationalities and learn about the many different cultures worldwide.
    Joining the U.S. Marines Corp was one of the best decisions that I have made. I am happy that I served my country; it helped me grow as a human being and better understand people worldwide. It made me appreciate what freedoms we have in the United States.

    Serving in the Army was a confidence building experience. The Army allowed me the opportunity to build skills and assume responsibilities I thought impossible at 21. From becoming proficient in a foreign language to rappelling down cliffs to providing intelligence summaries to the NSA and FBI, I was challenged and trusted to rise to those challenges. I don't know that I could have experienced the same anywhere else. (Plus, I met my husband of 28 years in the Army, so that's another great takeaway.)

I spent time in Haiti (1994), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (1995 and 1997), Germany, Ireland and numerous spots in the United States. I was also chosen for a special duty post providing security for Air Force One during President Clinton's term.
