After graduating from high school, JR joined the Navy in 2003. Strongly involved with his church, he was later drawn to the role of Religious Program Specialist (RP) during boot camp. Transferring to this position meant not only working hard, but serving with the Marines. \\u201cIn the beginning, I didn\\u2019t choose to go into the Marine Corps side, but I fell in love with it,\\u201d JR admitted.

As an RP, JR had a unique responsibility. Chaplins are combatants but aren\\u2019t allowed to carry weapons, even for protection, so JR\\u2019s duty was to provide them security. He also aided in administrative tasks.

Then his life changed: Amid a 9-month deployment in Iraq, JR was wounded in the line of duty. Reflecting on the scary incident, he shared, \\u201cI was very fortunate. I walked away and survived it while some of my peers did not\\u2026 I am only alive by the grace of God and was able to walk away with few injuries.\\u201d More than a decade later, JR is still dedicated to his recovery and remains in physical therapy.
