I was working at Oakland Army Base when I was sent to Golden Gate University to earn a certificate in transportation. I earned my certificate in December 1996; while attending GGU I asked what it would take for me to get a degree in Transportation, and as a retired veteran Air Force, they allowed me to apply. I ended up with my Bachelor of Science in Logistics Operational Management in June 2000. When Oakland Army Base closed down, I was transferred to Fort Eustis Army Base in Newport News VA and spent two years there before relocating back to California in 2000. I return home to CA in enough time to graduate. I was fortunate to get my degree in the field I was working in, which has helped me in my career. I would highly recommend the program to someone else who is trying to do the same thing. It made sense for me to achieve my degree in the field I was working in. In the field of Logistics, you can do many things, and that has helped me throughout my career.

During orientation, the dean told us GGU was well know
