VAS Student Spotlight Veterans Interview: Adrian Dominguez

What inspired you to join the military, and which branch did you serve in?
Growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana, I always dreamed of traveling and seeing the world. Many of my family members worked in the construction industry or owned construction businesses, but I wanted a different path. So, I joined the United States Navy, knowing it would allow me to fulfill my goal of exploring. During my eight years of service, I had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout Asia and the Pacific. I was stationed in Pearl Harbor initially, then relocated to San Diego, where I finished my naval career. Now, I live in Oceanside with my family.

What led you to enroll in classes at Vista Adult School?

I'm currently seeking new job opportunities, and many of the positions I'm interested in require computer skills, especially in Microsoft Office. I decided to enroll in the beginner Microsoft Office course at Vista Adult School and plan to continue with intermediate and advanced courses to develop these skills further.

​Reflecting on your military service, is there anything you're especially proud of?

Absolutely—I’m proud to have served my country. The Navy gave me numerous opportunities to develop valuable skills and trades, many of which I’ve continued to apply in various roles since leaving the service.
