Despite only being at his current unit for six short months, Lance Cpl. David Sigdestad makes the most out of every moment no matter if he is working hard in a field operation or sparring in a martial arts session. “I’ve been on four field operations so far and I like it better than anything else,” said Sigdestad, a data systems specialist with Marine Wing Communications Squadron 28. “We get to work 16-20 hour days at the beginning of it, and then take a breather at the end. It feels like we’ve accomplished something by the time it’s over.” When he’s not working as a data systems specialist for his unit, Sigdestad fills up much of his time with personal endeavors. Whether the challenge is physical or mental, Sigdestad has consistently put his best foot forward. His latest undertaking has been submitting an application to the Marine Security Guard School aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mackenzie Gibson/Released)
