CAPTAIN MITCHELL: My name is Captain Keysella Mitchell. I’m from Columbus, Georgia. Being African American it’s shown me that when I rst joined there were very few African Americans, especially o cers, that I was aware of at the time. And then being, through the Marine Corps being in 15 plus years, I have seen a number of di erent African Americans that are of senior rank, and it’s very impressive to me. It does show you that you can grow in the Marine Corps and it gives you that opportunity. That is one of the pluses that I would say is it gives you the opportunity to grow and venture out. The Junior Marines are what makes it fun. You learn so much from them. They bring a lot of di erent things to the game, di erent personalities, di erent strengths, di erent weaknesses, and you grow as much as they do being a part of them and leading them. [01:00.0]
