“Before entering the military, performing the various tests, MRIs, screenings. It’s the same way in the draft and combining you have to do the same things. A funny thing,” Jeanty Pakinomist said digital in a recent interview.
Jeanty got a taste of what his father used to do while he was in operation when he and his father visited the general Mitchell Air National Guard base in Milwaukee in partnership with USAA.
“It was really a no-brainer for me. My relationship with my father, him was in the military, but also just grateful for usa for the partnership, greeting to service partner. To visit Milwaukee National Guard, come in life, see what they really do. I play Call of Duty, but it’s not real life,” Jeanty joked.

“It was cool to see their daily process and how detailed everything is what they do daily. We would not be able to do what we do without their service.”
“It was dope. I think the biggest thing was just to see how detailed everything is and how there’s little room for mistakes and mistakes. A little for nobody, honestly. They do these things every day, so the precision and attention to detail is amazing. It gave me a greater understanding of what they do and how they protect us every single day.”
Jeanty said he has been able to understand much more about his father’s daily now that he is older.
“He wouldn’t give too much detail about what they were doing. Now that I’m older, he tells me about things that happened on the ship and similar things. I was so young before, so I didn’t really understand it. But now there are definitely conversations,” Jeanty said.
