It’s never too late to get involved. Staff Sergeant Monte L. Gould, a 59-year-old veteran, graduated from Army boot camp in the top 10 percent of his class. This is the second time that Staff Sgt. Gould has graduated from Army basic training. His first time was in 1978, when he first entered the military. He initially served in the Marine Corps, then in the Army National Guard with a Civil Affairs unit, with which he deployed to Afghanistan, and finally finished off his enlistment with a stint to a Psychological Operations unit. In 2009, Gould left the military, only three years away from retirement, to spend more time with his family and pursue a career in law enforcement.
