A memorable moment for me was when I was deployed and we were on the back end (close to coming home) and we needed to start packing up to come home. In doing so I had the opportunity to travel across the country I was stationed in and see the other sites my team was in charge of. One of the sites backed up to the Persian Gulf and my team and I were able to take a quick breather and swim in the Gulf.
