Experiencing a new level of appreciation for freedom in the aftermath of intensive training.

I was amazed as Charles gave me the run down of the daily life of being a marine and what impact it had on his life as a whole. Going deeper into what made this life experience so impactful was an honor and a privilege to say the least.
