But don't 01:36.457 --> 01:38.679 take my word for it . Your friend , the 01:38.679 --> 01:40.901 US Army Corps of Engineers spokesperson 01:40.901 --> 01:43.123 who chose UACE nearly two decades ago . 01:43.123 --> 01:45.290 Trust these fellow employees . Why did 01:45.290 --> 01:47.346 I choose the Corps of Engineers ? In 01:47.346 --> 01:49.623 college from day one in my first class , 01:49.760 --> 01:51.760 the Corps of Engineers did it all . 01:51.760 --> 01:53.839 They were the brightest minds in the 01:53.839 --> 01:56.000 country . They created and developed 01:56.000 --> 01:58.167 some of the best engineering feats for 01:58.167 --> 02:00.389 our transportation and infrastructure , 02:00.389 --> 02:02.389 and I wanted to be part of that . I 02:02.389 --> 02:04.556 came to the Corps of Engineers because 02:04.556 --> 02:06.910 I um . I I like I like being practical . 02:06.949 --> 02:08.893 I like making a difference and the 02:08.893 --> 02:10.893 Corps of engineers is a place where 02:10.893 --> 02:12.893 you're working with real problems , 02:12.893 --> 02:15.060 complex things that matter to people . 02:15.060 --> 02:17.171 I just love the diversity it's always 02:17.171 --> 02:19.393 something new , something different . I 02:19.393 --> 02:21.616 really like that keeps it uh from being 02:21.616 --> 02:23.727 mundane I guess if you will . I chose 02:23.727 --> 02:25.990 UAC because UAE chose me over 30 years 02:25.990 --> 02:29.389 ago I joined the UACE team with a 02:29.389 --> 02:31.699 program called the Stay in school 02:31.699 --> 02:34.479 program . And from early on I found out 02:34.479 --> 02:36.479 that they were ready and willing to 02:36.479 --> 02:39.570 invest in me and my future . I chose to 02:39.570 --> 02:43.529 work for UAE um because in college I 02:43.529 --> 02:45.640 had an opportunity to work for both a 02:45.640 --> 02:47.362 private and a public sector uh 02:47.362 --> 02:50.360 engineering firm , and I really enjoyed 02:50.750 --> 02:53.449 um the , the public sector , um , the 02:53.449 --> 02:55.929 work . Um I really , really want to be 02:55.929 --> 02:57.970 able to get back to , to like my 02:57.970 --> 03:00.192 community and , and my country here and 03:00.192 --> 03:02.026 Um , I think it just , the , the 03:02.026 --> 03:04.137 challenges that were afforded here at 03:04.137 --> 03:06.359 the Corps of Engineers due to the , you 03:06.359 --> 03:08.692 know , the scale of us being , you know , 03:08.692 --> 03:10.970 the nation's engineering firm are just , 03:10.970 --> 03:13.137 uh , are just pretty incredible , so . 03:13.137 --> 03:15.192 I was a military dependent . Uh , my 03:15.192 --> 03:17.137 husband was in the military and we 03:17.137 --> 03:20.559 traveled and , um , just by being 03:20.559 --> 03:23.134 amongst . All of the military , um , 03:23.184 --> 03:26.065 and having that , um , that camaraderie 03:26.065 --> 03:28.865 with the military is what drove me to 03:28.865 --> 03:32.544 be more twined with the Corps of 03:32.544 --> 03:34.695 Engineers and wanting to come to work 03:34.695 --> 03:37.595 for the Corps . Once I took the job in 03:37.595 --> 03:39.373 Fort Worth in the uh Fort Worth 03:39.373 --> 03:43.345 District , I was able to uh flourish 03:43.345 --> 03:45.865 quite quickly , ended up loving that 03:45.865 --> 03:47.865 job there and I hadn't even thought 03:47.865 --> 03:49.643 about going to another position 03:49.643 --> 03:49.895 anyplace else .
