TRANSITION OF CHOICE...

Even though there are over 1,000,000 soldiers in the United States Army - you've learned that you are your own force. The might of the Army doesn't lie in numbers. It lies in you!

Reflect back to Basic Training, the 15-mile road march, graduation and the traditional pass in review before the Commander that marked the end of week one. In that short time you learned an incredible amount about the Army, and even more about yourself. You pushed yourself to become tougher and develop more discipline than you ever thought possible.

Your Army training was diverse, to encompass all the situations that you were likely to face. You came prepared to meet whatever challenges you and your team found. Just getting there was half the excitement. Whether you got there in a Bradley Fighting Vehicle or a Black Hawk helicopter, you were trained to make a powerful entrance.

The United States Army has given you a meaningful experience, something you can use for the rest of your life. Your military experience has helped you plan for the future and that future is now. A future with the Office of the Sheriff, Contra Costa County.
