Marine’s career leads him to path outside Corps

Corporal Kenneth Nageotte, a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear specialist with Regimental Combat Team 7 and native of Redlands, Calif., served on Marine Security Guard duty in Latvia and Egypt, and now plans to exit the Marine Corps to get his degree and go back to Latvia as a civilian security expert. “He embodies our core values and truly lives his life as Marines should,” said Chief Warrant Officer 3 William Orr, the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense officer with RCT-7. “He is aware of what the title he's earned represents, and he approaches every day as if he were trying to earn that title, over and over again. Nageotte will likely transition back to the civilian sector after his obligation is complete, but he will continue to represent our Corps well into the future, regardless of where he may find himself.”
