Everyone agreed on this point: Hitting the Brooklyn Bridge with our 7-million-pound generator would be a disaster.

When you’re on active duty, your main focus is accomplishing your mission. Upon returning to civilian life, there are many choices to make and paths to choose.
I work in a small high school in Gloucester County, New Jersey, with about 100 students in each grade. As a student assistance counselor, I typically help students with mental health issues or drug and alcohol abuse, but I also counsel students who are struggling with sexual orientation. I try my best to connect them with community resources so they have support after graduation. Since my formal training in this area is limited, I’ve been looking for different ways to increase my ability to help these students.
