I recently just returned home from my [8] month deployment with my unit 3rd LAAD, in the United States Marine Corps under the 11th MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit). I am Responsible with the experience of engaging drones and simulations. Proficient with operating weapons such as, the M16A4 Service Rifle, M-4 Service Rifle, the M2.50 Caliber Machine Gun, the M2.40 Machine Gun, as well as the Fim-92 Stinger Missile. I am also proficient with communication equipment, and gun trucks. Adept in teaching, leading, and applying day and night combat techniques. Offering almost [5] years' expertise to a dynamic new position. I am a painter by traid, amazing with customer service, and I never bring home or any kind of problems into the work place and vise versa. I strive to be competitive and learn anything I can in the life that is given to me. As you may very well see I have had an abundance amount of working experience and I am fully capable and ready to take on the next job in my life and do it with the best of my ability.
If I had to come up on the spot with [3] topics I could do better in they would be,
1.) I wear my heart on my sleave.
2.) I am a perfectionist, so I always give myself a hard time
3.) I am not quick to the point, I have to share the whole story.
In the Marine Corps I have completed and earned numerous amount of certificates, achievements, awards, and have had many accomplishments.
I have earned the National Defense Service Medal/Ribbon, awarded to those who have served an honorable service during dates of conflicts.
I have earned the Navy Sea Service Deployment Medal/Ribbon, presented to any member of the United States Navy after they complete a deployment at sea.
A certificate of appreciation from the United States Army for being apart of a felid operation called NTC that was located on the Army base Fort Irwin.
I have earned the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal/Ribbon a decoration presented to recognize members who have completed [3] years of honorable service.
I have earned the Global War On Terrorism Medal/Ribbon recognizing those military service members who have supported operations to counter terrorism in the war on terror from 11 September 2001, to a date yet to be determined.
I have also earned the The Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal/Ribbon which is similar but different because you have to serve in the War on Terror while on foreign shores from September 11, 2001 to a yet to be determined date.
Not only did I earn all of these medals/ribbons, serve almost [5] honorable years in the Marine Corps, as well as come home safely from my deployment but I have been through rigorous training including TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care), I have been a CMC (Combat Marksmanship Coach), an Escort and Chaser Training Course, Non-lethal Weapons Course, the amphibious Egress Trainer, as well as the Rollover Egress Trainer.
I used to play Baseball as a kid, actually I started in Little League and played religiously until I hit High School. I defiantly regret it and wish I stuck with the love of the game. My favorite team has to be the Chicago Cubs.
I, when in my teen years, previously worked at an ice rink in my home town as the Zamboni driver. Even before this I was always a Hockey fan but this is when I started to thrive picking up how to skat really quick, as well as picking up some Rat Hockey games here and there. My favorite hockey team has to be the Chicago Blackhawk's.
My wife Stephanie and I have date night every Tuesday. We get ice cream, go to a nice dinner, then off to see a movie at our closest theater. We will soon be thinking about having kids and would love to make that a family tradition for them as well.
I recently just passed my BRC, (Basic Riders Course) this is not a license but I am able to send this to my home state before I get my CA state license to get an endorsement to be a certified motorcycle rider. This is really new for me but it is a new cool hobby that I love and gives me the same felling I get when I ice skate, maybe even more so.
I love going camping and hiking. Most of my friends think I am crazy with the "hikes" I take them on. I guess to them I go mountain climbing instead. I like going for runs and working out, ultimately just being a healthy person.
