Montoya has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service.
“I am most proud of being in the 1% of my training group, and earning the “super recruit” ribbon all back at RTC,” said Montoya. "I am also proud of being selected to be here at the USNCG, a posting where only the 1% of the 1% are selected to serve."
