Summary

I have guided, led, and instructed new soldiers, as well as soldiers needing guidance through simulated warfare training, garrison task, and daily work.

I have had many assignments while in the Army such as Infantryman, tanker and more. I was a command driver driving high ranking members of the military during simulated warfare as well as had a desk job working at reception, checking in soldiers arriving to the base, getting them housing, and helping them get all they're paperwork straitened out. I have been a great leader and mentor as well as I was a good follower in my early years of service.

I am highly qualified for most jobs wether its a remote job from home, or a hands on job getting my hands dirty. I am willing to do anything needed to be done, I don't mind getting dirty, I am very good at following directions and orders as well. I am the type of person to volunteer to do the jobs nobody wants to do as well as be the first to raise my hand. I ensure that all my work is thorough and done right while being done right the first time.
