Jose was inspired by his grandpa—a senior chief in the Navy—and inspired to serve under President Barack Obama. National Guardsman Volunteered to Help After Hurricane Katrina When Ronnie Zavala started looking into joining the Army National Guard in 2001, he hoped that after finishing his basic training it could essentially be a part-time job.

Zavala wanted to go to college, and one of the initial reasons he sought to enlist was to receive GI Bill benefits to help cover the cost. Read more about Ronnie Zavala Adrian Mejia CN3 5SCCT I was part of the logistics of the Air Force—I managed and coordinated all of the equipment, vehicles and personnel that went into the big cargo planes.

It was rewarding to move emergency supplies when crisis happened, such as hurricanes. I was part of an exercise in Alaska where they needed extra people to load helicopters and perform patrol routes near the Alaskan/Russian border. That was more fun than anything because I got to see remote areas that you can only access by air.

Deployment exposed me to nursing practices outside of the modern medical conveniences I am so routinely used to. It's easy to take for granted the up-to-date technology and resources that we have at our disposal working at Cedars-Sinai.

Teamwork Grit and Adaptability When I enlisted in the Navy at 19 years old, I had little idea of what journeys my time in service would take me on. It would set me down a path that I still walk on to this day. I knew I wanted to help people when I signed up to be a hospital corpsman in the Navy.
