models. Some being family members others civilians that I’ve meet while accomplishing Army missions but most of my role models have been great individuals that I have had the pleasure of serving with in the military. One in particular stands out more than the others, his name is SSG Kenneth Moss or now SFC Kenneth Moss (R). SFC Moss (R) had the biggest impact on me as he was my first supervisor I had in the Army.
