¿En lo personal, qué obtuvo de su experiencia militar?

Developed a tremendous respect for the dedication and courage of the Army Officers assigned to this Unit. While the activity is not what you would call 'nice nice', it is the price of vigilence. You learn to look at things much more critically and pay attention as much to what's not said as to what is openly documented.
