Years of experience
During my high school years, I graduated as a cadet major of Junior Air Force R.O.T.C. where I learned discipline and structure. Currently a fireman at Raceland Fire Department as well as Flatwoods fire department. I have also learned that some situations need a calm and collected viewpoint to make sure a problem can be solved in a timely yet efficient manner. I also spent some time in the millwrights welding as well as using precision instruments to fit and set machinery. I also have experience in running crews for certain projects.
