Summary
My administration and supervision skills are not tailored to military responsibilities. The military has broaden my organizing skills and has set my path to continue to volunteer in programs that help develop youth for life's challenges. The United States Air Force core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence In All We Do seems to transfer to the Boys Scouts of America seamlessly.
