I am Joseph Miller, a New York State National Guard Soldier. I joined the Guard hoping I could make a difference here at home while being able to do my duty overseas when the time arrived. I have helped with natural disasters such as Hurricane Irene and Sandy, flooding in Fort Plain, the November snow storm in Buffalo, and others in between. Currently I am deployed in the Middle east in support of operations there as a vertical and horizontal Engineer. I love the Guard because it allows me to really hone my skills from civilian employment while serving in the Army. In turn I am a hard worker who lives by the Army values on and off duty which has allowed me to climb to higher standing in my civilian and Army career. I was promoted to the rank of Sergeant at the age of 21 with 3 years of service and became a supervisor at my civilian employment within the same time frame. I strive to be the best in whatever I do! Currently, I plan on applying to become a warrant officer staying in for 20 years while I continue my civilian career and start a family.
