A soldier from Reus, Tarragona, who previously fought against ISIS, is now working for NATO from the United Kingdom, according to the Diari de Tarragona. José Rosales joined the military almost two decades ago, driven by a persistent curiosity rather than family tradition.
Rosales recalled, "I don't come from a military family, so I entered an unknown world." What began as a summer trial evolved into a long career. His service has included roles in transmissions and cavalry, international missions, and postings at NATO headquarters.
From Barcelona Barracks to International Missions
Rosales' journey started in a Barcelona barracks. His initial experience, intended as a short-term test, led him through various military disciplines. This path eventually saw him deployed on international missions, including operations against ISIS.
His current role with NATO in the UK highlights a significant career progression. It shows how individuals from non-military backgrounds can rise through the ranks and contribute to international defence efforts.
