QUESTION: What is your title?
GUADALUPE ALEXANDER: My title, I'm a training developer for the MOS 92 Alpha, which is a automated logistical specialist. We create lessons plans, the critical tasks that the Soldiers need to know out on the forefront. We constantly update lessons and then shoot it out to the force.

QUESTION: Why did you join the Army?
GUADALUPE ALEXANDER: To be honest with you, I joined the Army because of my child. Sorry [LAUGHS], it just I felt like I couldn't provide for him [CRYING] like I wanted to, and this was the only way to go. I don't want to cry, I'm not going to cry, [LAUGHS] and like, I ended up crying. It just seemed like a better life for him. For him to see that my mom did something good, and my mom is doing something great for me. And to this day, he believes that. And I'm grateful that he does.

QUESTION: It's emotional stuff.

QUESTION: It's emotional stuff.
GUADALUPE ALEXANDER: Yes, it is, who would ever thought. To be honest with you, when I first enlisted I was like, I'm only going to do the six years that the Army told me to do. Before you know it, my six years were up and I was back two more, put me at eight, next thing I know, two more, put me at ten. Now I'm sitting at 20. I would a never have thought that in a million years.
