Charles Parker traded in his Naval tool pouch for a bookbag full of textbooks.<\/span><\/p>\n

For nearly 15 years, Parker worked as a Bosun Mate petty officer aboard aircraft carriers like the USS John F. Kennedy. Now the 49-year-old is a student of paralegal studies at Miami Dade College\u2019s Wolfson Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy military duties and trainings keep me focused,\u201d Parker said. \u201cI make sure to have my I\u2019s dotted and my T\u2019s crossed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He reenlisted twice in the Navy. After his first reenlistment he was deployed to the Gulf War where he stayed in the \u201chot zone\u201d close to dangerous battles for six months before heading back to the States.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a change,\u201d Parker said. \u201cPeople take life and everything for granted. It made me a better person, man and human being.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Parker is just one of the 3,500 veterans enrolled at the College. The majority study at Kendall Campus. <\/span>Staff at the College’s Veterans Affairs offices at Wolfson, InterAmerican, Kendall, Medical and North Campuses assist eligible U.S. Veteran students and dependents using their Veterans Administration educational benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Nov. 10, MDC and the the Student Veterans of America club will honor veterans at Wolfson Campus in Room 6100 at a 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. ceremony. Speakers include Miami Police Chief <\/span>Manuel Orosa <\/span>and Retired U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Tony Colmenares. <\/span><\/p>\n

Many veterans like Parker have faced challenges. While on-shore duty two-and-a-half years after the Gulf War, Parker was hospitalized for two weeks and was diagnosed with asthma caused by the war.Shortly after, he was released on an honorable discharge from the Navy as a disabled veteran.<\/span><\/p>\n

He joined the newly-formed Wolfson Campus chapter of SVA and was named president by advisor William Chapman, an <\/span>Advisement & Counseling <\/span>Intervention Specialist. Student Veterans of America is a national organization where student veterans can share common understanding about their experiences while in the service. Chapman said the veterans like to call the organization a \u201cstrong brother\/sisterhood.\u201d Meetings usually run for an hour-and-a-half with speakers including professors, career advisors and Single Stop employees. About 20 veterans are a part of this recently established chapter.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to have a strong club, because they often feel like outsiders among traditional students,\u201d Chapman said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parker wants faculty, staff and students at the College to know that veteran students are unique. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re different,\u201d Parker said. \u201cWe\u2019re focused.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

They are usually older than other students and goal-oriented, Parker said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Student Veterans of America Vice President Keisha Santiago, 24, served in the United States Marine Corps in 2008. She was deployed to Okinawa, Japan for two years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI would say that it actually helped me, it gave me the maturity and discipline to complete tasks,\u201d said Santiago, who enrolled in MDC in August of 2014 in the Associates in Arts in Criminal Justice program.<\/span><\/p>\n

After Japan, she did active military duty in Texas at the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station until June of 2012 where she then started as a student at Texas A&M University.<\/span><\/p>\n

In June 2014 Santiago headed to Miami. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy family is here, I needed more support because I have [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder],\u201d Santiago said.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Santiago, SVA is a great way to engage the general public with the veterans and veterans issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Santiago, Wayne Martindale, 25, was seeking support from SVA. Martindale enlisted into the Army as a 21-year-old in 2010. He believes that civil service is important because it says a lot about one\u2019s character.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something I always wanted to do,\u201d Martindale said. \u201cIt challenges you physically and mentally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Martindale came to MDC in July to pursue his Associates in Arts in Administration and Recreation after being based in Washington D.C. at the third U.S. infantry regiment for three years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou learn a lot about yourself and capabilities,\u201d said Martindale of his military service. \u201cIt gave me a lot of insight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, there is a new initiative meant to acknowledge and support veterans through the arts. Miami Dade College Live Arts is bringing Basetrack Live to the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center in March 2015. The event is a multidisciplinary show inspired by work of photojournalists embedded in Afghanistan. The work <\/span>is an ambitious collaboration between the award-winning national touring theatre company <\/span>En Garde Arts <\/span><\/a>and corpsmen from the 1st Battalion\/8th Marines.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really great way to expose greater Miami in a conversation about soldiers, veterans and war,\u201d said Jenni Person, MDC Live Arts managing producer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Person said the show and other literary events throughout the year involving veterans are important because they focus on the effects of war. She hopes to \u201cbring the life of veterans to life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Parker wants MDC to be viewed as a veteran-friendly institution.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have guys out there putting their lives on the line so you can come to school freely,\u201d Parker said. \u201dShake their hands and appreciate their service. Appreciation is worth more to us than money.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
