After attending and passing JFOC i've had countless hours preforming the duties listed above and would go on to deploy (May 2023) on a company fire support team in support of V2/1 Golf company. During deployment I promoted to the rank of Corporal (E4) and now have a section of junior Marines under my charge that im responsible for training, teaching, and mentoring while also maintaining my knowledge of the MOS.
