A couple of weeks ago LB (03XX Director of Operations) was out blanketing the Centreville, VA area with flyers for a charity bike wash. While stopping into all of the local motorcycle businesses he walked into Brooks' Cycle Center and saw a large Marine Corps flag hanging behind the desk. It wasn't your standard flag. It was one of those nice ones with the gold fringe around it. Come to find out the owner of Brooks' Cycle Center is a Marine Veteran and is an 0311 (Jason Brooks).
While speaking with Jason he shared his story of all the trials and tribulations in the job market after he got out of the Marine Corps. As an 0311 he kept charging the hill. He had a day job but also helped fix motorcycles out of his jeep in his spare time to make extra money for his family. A little over a year ago he took the leap and started his own business. When LB stopped in there was a buzz around the shop and there were several bikes out front awaiting service.
The 03XX Foundation wanted to share this story with you to show you that 03XXers can do anything they put their mind to in the civilian world. If anyone is looking for bike work drop Brooks' Cycle Center a line and support your fellow 03s.
