While participating in "shoot-move-communicate" drills during his unit's drill weekend, Oct. 26, 2019, Solo talked about why he chose the Security Forces career field.

"I wanted something that was active and challenging in a way...I picked Security #Forces," he said. "They have very high standards, and I am continually pushed to improve upon my standards to meet theirs."
