In doing so I have picked up necessary skills for success. They taught me how to work hard. I also learned how to be punctual, dependable, and reliable. You do not just call in sick in the military. You are there on time and you work hard so others can count on you. I worked search and rescue and federal law enforcement. My shipmates and my own life depending on being vigilant and on top of my game at times. I learned how to work long hours because the job was not over until it was done. They taught us to be professional. Beyond that I worked teaching the public about boating safety and conducted safety boardings on vessels. We had to learn to be approachable to the civilian public. We worked in teams to keep each other safe. We worked in teams in almost everything we did. We also learned to work with people from all types of walks of life and backgrounds. I learned to adapt to each situation and react to them. These skills apply to all types of jobs. Mostly they apply to working with people and understanding how to talk to people in any given situation. I feel I am very well rounded at interacting with others because of my background and experiences.
