But before you make any decisions, it's important to understand what the military has to offer, and what you can expect as a member of the armed forces. Here are some key things to keep in mind:

We hope this information has been helpful in your consideration of military service. Remember, joining the military is a big decision, and it's important to do your research and talk to recruiters from each branch to learn more about what they have to offer. Good luck with your decision!

The Story of Team T2M4

In Northwest ISD our students have choices! Our graduates leave the district Skilled, Credentialed, and Ready! Ready for College, Ready for the Global Workforce, and Ready for Personal Success. Armed with a complete understanding of College and Career Readiness, and dedicated to make the NISD goals a reality, four superheroes have banded together to form Team T2M4 to spread the message so that all students will know that, “With Team T2M4 the future is an open door!”

T - Technical Certifications

Tiffany Turnbull started her career while she was still in high school. She earned several technical certifications because she had a clear vision for her future and took multiple career and technical education courses. Immediately after her high school graduation, Tiffany spruced up her ePortfolio and her professional resume to reflect her skills with technology and got a great first job as the assistant web designer for a graphics lab. While working in the lab, she continued to pursue technical certifications to boost her marketability and soon found herself as the Vice President of Cyber Security for an undisclosed fortune 500 company. Today, as the leader of Team T2M4, Tiffany proudly wears her T as she travels the district telling teens terrific technical tales. 

2 - Two-Year Degrees

The number two has always been a significant number in the life of Daniel Daniels. At two years old he wrote two haiku that touched the souls of those who read them so profoundly that they had to be locked away inside two vaults two miles below the surface of a planet two solar systems removed from the earth. Two years later he was ready to start school but didn’t turn five until September 5th, so he had to wait another year. That extra year of waiting created a distaste for the number one. Daniel decided early in life that he was going to pursue a two-year degree from a local community college and then start his career, so he started taking dual credit courses while he was in high school. He graduated high school with 42 college credits and only needed 22 more to finish his Associate’s degree. Daniel was so enthusiastic about his community college experience that he started telling anyone who would listen how much money he saved and how much he enjoyed the experience. It wasn’t long before he was recruited to wear the number 2 on Team T2M4 so he could spread the message of the 2-Year degree to an even broader audience.

M - Military service

Mario Mendoza decided when he was in 7th grade that he wanted to join the Army, and the Navy, and the Marines, and the Air force, and the Coast Guard when he finished high school. Everyone told him he needed to pick one, but Mario knew he could do it all, so he joined all five branches and added the National Guard just for something to do during his off time. After saving the world from countless disasters that he isn’t allowed to talk about, Mario turned in the stars and stripes on his uniform and donned a patriotic M to spread the message to all NISD students that whoever you are, you can make a difference in the world as part of the U.S. Military. 

4 - Four-Year Degrees

Thanks to carefully choosing which AP and dual credit classes to take while in high school, Dr. Summer Sims started college with enough hours to allow her to earn two Bachelor’s degrees when she was only 21 – one in linguistic archaeology and the other in biomedical science. While working as a biomedical engineer one evening and listening to some good old-fashioned country music, Dr. Sims discovered that the words and rhythm of the songs were elaborate mathematical equations. She was fascinated, but hesitant to pursue things further because she thought she might not be as good in math as some others. Ultimately though, Dr. Sims decided that she didn’t have to be a mathematician to use math, so she went back to school and created her own doctorate calling it, New Observational Linguistic Intricacies of Mathematics in Increasingly Tricky Situations, “NO LIMITS” for short. Due to copyright laws, and a desire not to be sued by either DC or Marvel, we aren’t allowed to confirm it, but it is possible that before wearing the 4 on her uniform and going around the district telling students about their college options, Dr. Sims used the power of linguistic mathematics to travel back in time and help form two amazing teams of superheroes.
