He began 1 1/2 months of advanced individual training as a motor transport operator on Dec. 1.
Porter took his oath of enlistment on July 3, 2019 and shipped off to basic training the following September for a 3 1/3 year initial enlistment.
“I love driving anything and working on anything with a motor,” Porter said of his military occupational specialty.

He will be returning to Fort Leonard Wood at the end of his leave to complete the remainder of his advanced training before shipping out to his first permanent duty station at Joint Base Lewis McCord.
