Veteran’s Day is a day we set aside to honor those who serve and sacrifice for our country. Currently one of our own recruiters, Chad Morgan, is on deployment and continues to provide security for others. We had the opportunity to talk with him about his time in service.
What branch do you serve under, what is your title/rank, and how long have you been an active member of the military? I served five years in the Marines and currently in the National Guard. I’ve been actively serving for over 14 years.
What inspired you to serve our country? I’ve always wanted to serve and be a part of something bigger than myself. Once 9/11 happened, I enlisted exactly two months later.
How many deployments have you been sent on & what are some of the first things you do to prepare yourself to be sent on a mission? I am currently on my 5th There isn’t much you can do to prepare yourself for something like deployment. Leaving your family, kids, and friends is one of the hardest things I have done.
How has Aureus supported you while being called to serve? Aureus has been awesome to work with during my time leading up to this. They have been huge supporters all the way to up to senior leadership; Scot, Craig, Matt, & Mark. They are always checking in with me and asking about my family.
What do miss the most when you are overseas? The thing I miss the most is my family. My wife and especially my kids. It’s hard being away from them when they are so little.
Thank you to Chad and all of the other veterans for your service and dedication to our great nation!
