After three years of his best effort, he stopped out and joined the Army. He served 14 years on active duty with three combat deployments, then joined the reserve and moved his family to Guam.

Ray K.
Ray will graduate with the MOET AAS-T degree in summer 2023.
"I am a young adult cancer survivor whose career has been impacted by my disease. In the spring of 2021 when I realized I needed to rapidly start my education because my body couldn't handle my previous work because of my disease, I was intimidated by the educational process. That was until I found MOET: with MOET, not only did I find a program that recognized my previous work (I had spent two years as a painter's apprentice and 5 years as a line worker for CenturyLink) but I found a program actively preparing its students for educational/professional opportunities associated with the strong economy we have locally. The beauty of the degree is that it gives you credit for the tough challenging work you have done and in so doing accelerating your educational process. Thanks to this degree I was able to start my BAS in SBST this fall and recently accepted a job offer to work as a building automation technician for a local company thus accomplishing my goal of starting a career where my disabilities do not affect my ability to work. This program is a game changer and my experience with it shows the increased pragmatism of the college I happily attend."
