    I have prior service at a MP and got out at the rank of E5. I’m interested in possibly rejoining, full time or reserve, and am interested in becoming a WO. I am trying to get as much information as possible in regards to the requirements and how to get started. The above is my private e-mail and my home phone is (512)312-9845.
    Thank you for your time information.
