Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Today's Soldier in Focus is 1st. Sgt. Matthew Gibbs, the senior enlisted leader of the 955th Engineer Company, a U.S. Army Reserve company based in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and currently serving with the 46th Engineer Combat Battalion, 926th Engineer Brigade, Multi-National Division – Baghdad. Gibbs, a native of Salem, Mo., serves his community back home as a law enforcement officer. He said he took on the job because, "Like the Army, only a small percentage of the population is able to handle such a career." His two careers blended together when, two days before Christmas in 2007, as he patrolled in his police car, he received the phone call telling him to prepare for his second deployment. His career military career began in 1991 when he enlisted in the Navy. "I wish I would've just joined the Army in the first place," he said, when reflecting upon his career, adding that his time with the Navy certainly had one huge advantage for which he is grateful. "I wouldn't have met my wife and had my beautiful kids," he explained with emphasis.
