Marine Corps values and a return to college help a veteran in his new business
|
EL PASO – Returning home after his combat tour as a Marine in Afghanistan, Andrew Jenkins wondered like many veterans do what civilian life would have in store for him. He had two years of college before enlisting so he thought going back to school would be the wisest decision. However, as a Marine veteran, Jenkins is not the average student. He found that his experience in the Corps had given him a strong dedication to succeed. He went from launching rockets in Afghanistan to going into business back home at the ripe age of 22. Starting in business is tedious and difficult especially in a struggling economy, but he found a way around that.
