RETURNING HOME WAS DIFFICULT for a
while. Angela had missed many birthdays and
holidays, and she had to adjust to returning
to “normal” civilian life. However, her loving
family was there to provide 100% support and
encouragement, often reminding Angela how
proud they were of the path upon which she
had embarked.
Recalling her time of service, Angela shares,
“The military has given me strength I didn’t
know I possessed. It gave me the drive to keep
on going, no matter the situation or problems presented. It has given me the ability to
communicate with most people, especially
if their views are different than mine.” If you
are considering service, she encourages you
to choose a field of which you are knowledgeable, and keep an open mind in meeting
many people of various backgrounds. Most
importantly, “Take pride in knowing that your
service to your country is bigger than you are.”
Angela Robinson resides in Florence, South Carolina.
She and her husband, Jamares, have three children:
Aaliyah, Anfernee, and Brianna. Angela is an Administrative Assistant 1 for DHEC.
