"I was in the armed forces for 5 years and have nothing but great experiences and met a lot of really influential people."
"Joining the military was the best thing I have ever done. They have taught valuable skills and have taught me to appreciate everything in life. I appreciate every opportunity that has been given to me. The military has made me an exceptional hard worker and have given me the ability to adjust to any situation. Trouble shooting and attention to details is second nature to me. I love my job and love my country."
"I love the people and places I saw working for DOD. They helped to create the man I am today and to inspire me to better myself and dive headlong into the sciences, for which I am passionate."

"I've worked for the Department of Defense for about 12 years and have found it to to be both rewarding and challenging. There have been many different types of projects with many different platforms and technologies that I've had the privilege to work on."
"By far the best job I ever had. Very sad to see it end."
"I've worked for the DOD since 2010 and have had amazing relationships with my co-works and supervisor. I would be tremendously difficult to leave then, but they all know that I need more of a challenge and a change. The quality of life that the DOD has offered me will be difficult to match else where. I am incredibly thankful for all the knowledge and experience I have gained through the position I hold."
"I have worked for the agency for 1 year and the old boy system is in full effect and creates a terrible work place environment for outsiders. Using people from outside the beltway to define the term outsiders."
"Great place to work for with wonderful co-workers. I have at my disposal, the newest programs and applications that have passed rigorous inspection."
"Overall, this is a great place to work. We are given freedom to get our jobs done without much interference. If you could get a job/career in the 459th, I would recommend it."
"I loved working for the US military. The travel and time off was one of the reasons I joined. Now that I have reached 20 years, I really like the pay check I receive for not doing anything."
"This was a nice place to work."
"I have been working with the Department of Defense since October of 2010 after I retired from the Air Force with 25 years of service. The organization where I work continually provides opportunity for advancement and regularly recognizes exceptional performers. We organize social functions and invite family members and significant others for relaxing conversation and fun."
"Great diverse place to work."
