THE JOURNEY CONTINUES | “Our mission is special. We have super close relationships because platoons have 8 personnel—including the PL and PSG. We get to blow stuff up, use the robots, and are constantly having to change and adapt to new threats. This job is never boring and I have the privilege of working with the highest caliber of Soldiers and NCOs.” - “My most memorable moment? The first time I got to use C4 and TNT and set it up for a demolition shot. It was AWESOME. The instructors at EOD school handed each of us a block of C4, 1 stick of TNT, some det cord, time fuse and ignitors. We all went down and set up our shots and then pulled them and ran back to our safe area to wait for them to go off. Then, one by one, each lane’s shot went off and it was so cool to finally do something EOD related because mostly everything we had done was in the classroom up to this point. It was such an adrenaline rush to watch my shot go off and see that I was finally doing what I had chosen to do.” - NAME: Marae Kalian | @marae_xo CLASS: USMA 2018 MAJOR: Business Management | @usma_bsl BRANCH: Ordnance Corps - THE JOURNEY CONTINUES is an ongoing series highlighting recent graduates of the @westpoint_usma It focuses on each graduates individual branch selection and what each officer/grad has learned from their West Point experience.
