    I am a 44 year old recent graduate of an accredited radiological program and am ARRT certified. I lost my job in the automotive industry over two years ago and needed a way to support my family and felt that investing into this training for our future was the right direction. I would now like to use the training I have received to not only support my family but to serve my country as well. Thank you for your consideration.
