Currently stationed at JBPHH, Pearl Harbor as an Active Duty Military Sailor. I have been working as an Intelligence Specialist going on a year now. The specifics of my job are classified, however the unclassified summary of my job is completing research on certain objective, creating presentations, and presenting those to my shop. My work schedule is currently 0700 - 1500, Monday - Friday. With the occasional watch standing/escorting duties over the weekend, that I have a moderate say in when and what time I complete those.

The qualities I must have as well as have acquired are:

• Self-motivated, with a strong sense of personal responsibility.
• Worked effectively in fast-paced environments.
• Skilled at working independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
• Proven ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Proven ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations.
• Worked well in a team setting, providing support and guidance.
• Demonstrated respect, friendliness and willingness to help wherever needed.
• Assisted with day-to-day operations, working efficiently and productively with all team members.
• Worked flexible hours across night, weekend, and holiday shifts.
• Managed time efficiently in order to complete all tasks within deadlines.
• Organized and detail-oriented with a strong work ethic.

My military career truly began in Virginia Beach, VA, where my schooling for my rate was located. Here I learned everything that I needed to know of my job, as well as the qualities and characteristics to develop to successfully complete my job. I was at the schoolhouse starting from 0600 - 2000 at night, everyday except on Sundays. This is where my work ethic was truly developed and I was pushed past my comfort zone.

A few of the characteristics that I built in Virginia, and have proudly instilled in myself are:

• Proven ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations.
• Passionate about learning and committed to continual improvement.
• Organized and detail-oriented with a strong work ethic.
• Paid attention to detail while completing assignments.
• Used critical thinking to break down problems, evaluate solutions and make decisions.
• Learned and adapted quickly to new technology and software applications.
• Proved successful working within tight deadlines and a fast-paced environment.
• Demonstrated strong organizational and time management skills while managing multiple projects.

I began my military career in Chicago, IL, where Boot Camp is held. Here you are instilled with the ethic, honor, and integrity of the military as a whole. You are under high stress, expectations, deadlines. You are transformed from a child I was, to a Sailor. Here hours varied, the earliest we would wake up would be at 0300, and we would be continuously doing something until 2100.

Here I learned numerous valuable lessons and traits that I will forever carry with me:

• Worked effectively in fast-paced environments.
• Skilled at working independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
• Self-motivated, with a strong sense of personal responsibility.
• Demonstrated respect, friendliness and willingness to help wherever needed.
• Passionate about learning and committed to continual improvement.
• Managed time efficiently in order to complete all tasks within deadlines.
• Organized and detail-oriented with a strong work ethic.
• Paid attention to detail while completing assignments.
• Demonstrated strong organizational and time management skills while managing multiple projects.
