|MILITARY EDUCATION | |

| | |

|6 Sep 2005- 18 Sep 2005 |During this course, I certified as the top trainer for level two |

|Combative Trainer Course |combatives course. |

|Fort Richardson, Alaska |Being certified allows me to supervise level one instructors and referee |

| |basic competitions. I teach paratroopers to engage in hand to hand combat|

| |techniques in order to submit an opponent. |

|1 May 05 – 27 May 05 |This course is broken down into three phases: Ground week began an |

|Airborne School |intensive program of instruction to build individual airborne skills, |

|United States Army Infantry Center |which prepared me to make a parachute jump and land safely. I trained on |

|Fort Benning, Georgia |the mock door, the 34 foot tower, and the lateral drift apparatus (LDA). |

| |During Tower week, the "mass exit" concept and the swing landing trainer |

| |(SLT) are added to the training. Both of the training additions are |

| |designed to hone the skills of exiting the aircraft and landing safely. |

| |Jump week is the culmination of all the training. Five jumps must be |

| |completed during this week, each one bringing its’ own unique obstacles |

| |and challenges. This course taught me how to effectively use a parachute |

| |as means of combat deployment and perform high risk actions in as safe of |

| |an environment as possible. The discipline and attention to detail I |

| |learned from this course brought me benefits I feel will help me as a |

| |153A. |

|29 Nov 04 - 13 Apr 05 |Distinguished Graduate |

|25U Signal Support Systems Specialist |Advanced individual training focused on combat net radio interface (CNRI) |

|United States Army Signal Center |equipment, short/long range line of site radios, communication security |

|Fort Gordon, Georgia |(COMSEC) devices, and other equipment associated with switch network |

| |operations. |

| |I was commended for maintaining high standards in both academics and |

| |military skills by civilian instructors as well as drill sergeants. |

|CORRESPONDENCE COURSES: | |

| | |

|-Support Operations Course (SOC) (PHASE 1) |This course gave me an overview of tactical logistics in the combat zone |

| |to help support brigade combat teams. It gave me a greater level of |

| |understanding for logistical operations during a tactical scenario. |

| | |

| |Preservation and Packing course provides instruction on DOD |

| |specifications, standards, and packaging policies for effective shipment |

|-Defense Basic Preservation and Packing |of cargo during mobilization into a combat zone or back to home station. |

|Course | |

| |This course provided me with further training in supervisory and human |

| |relations skills. As a leader, I will employ these skills among the |

| |Paratroopers. |

| | |

|-Supervisor Development Course (SDC) |Defense Reutilization and Marketing System places an emphasis on DOD |

| |procedures focusing on programs dealing with demilitarization and recovery|

| |of military property that will be turned in to be reset for future |

|MILITARY EXPERIENCE: | |

| | |

|Dec 07 - Present |From December 2007 until the present, I reset all of the brigade’s |

|Communications Sergeant |communication equipment following the OIF deployment. |

|HHC, 4th BCT(ABN)25th ID |Presently, I determine future communication expenditures needed for the |

|Fort Richardson, Alaska |Brigade’s next deployment. |

| |I continue to maintain an active jump status through executions of |

| |airborne operations with the Fourth Brigade Combat Team., 25th Infantry |

| |Division (ABN). |

| | |

|Oct 06- Nov 07 |I was responsible for all HHC, 4th BCT (Airborne), 25th ID communications |

|Communications Sergeant |during deployment to Iraq. |

|HHC, 4th BCT(ABN)25th ID |Due to my technical and tactical expertise for communications, I was |

|Fob Kalsu, Iraq |assigned to the Brigade Combat Team Tactical Assault Command (TAC) which |

| |provided critical command and control to the BCT commander and select |

| |staff. |

| |During Operation Black Eagle in Southern Iraq, I earned an Impact ARCOM by|

| |the Brigade Commander for distinguishing myself as the Combat Net Radio |

| |Team Chief, which was critical in ensuring Coalition Forces involved in |

| |the operation maintained communication. This included two helicopters from|

| |the 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade that landed due to technical issues |

| |relating with COMSEC. I analyzed the equipment and successfully returned |

| |them back into the fight moments after landing. |

| |The Brigade Commander also awarded me the Combat Action Badge during |

| |Operation Black Eagle when we received a large amount of indirect fire. |

| |During this incident, one of the vehicles I was no more than two feet from|

| |received shrapnel and the blast threw me to the ground. |

| |A Military Transition Team awarded me a Certificate of Achievement (COA) |

| |for exceptional service, tireless efforts, and ingenuity which contributed|

| |to the overall mission success of the team. This attention to detail, |

| |service, and prompt attention to the team’s immediate needs greatly |

| |increased the safety of the transition team members. |

| |I also earned an end of tour ARCOM by the Brigade Commander for |

| |distinguished service and dedication to duty during our deployment in |

| |Iraq. |

|Jun 05 – Sep 06 |I established the combat net radio (CNR) infrastructure for the newest |

|Signal Support Systems Specialist |airborne brigade the 4th BCT (Airborne), 25th ID brigade headquarters |

|HHC, 4th BCT(ABN)25th ID |activated 14 July 2005 in preparation for Operation Iraqi Freedom. |

|Fort Richardson, AK |I learned, operated, and deployed one of the Army’s first fielded Command |

| |Post Platforms (CPP), a HMMWV that allows computers, networking systems, |

| |communications equipment ,Command Post Communication System (CPCS), and |

| |signal interfaces necessary to host multiple Army Battle Command |

| |System(ABCS) made available to the BCT Commander and staff. |

| |I successfully cross trained into a 25B military occupational specialty in|

| |order to provide local area network support (LAN) that operates at SECRET |

| |and/or Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) while maintaining information |

| |exchange requirements (IER). |

| |SGM Bowen, formerly the HHC BDE First Sergeant, acknowledged me as one of |

| |the most steadfast Paratroopers instrumental in preparing the Brigade for |

| |its’ first deployment, through tireless efforts in support of any mission |

| |needed to be accomplished for the deployment of the Brigade. |

|SUMMARY: |

| |

|As a Communications team chief I operate, maintain, supervise, plan, and conduct training on Blue Force Tracker (BFT), line of sight |

|(FM), tactical satellite(TACSAT), and high frequency combat net radio systems. For my dedication to duty, the Signal company First |

|Sergeant presented me with a coin for excellence for continually refining Paratrooper’s communications skills throughout the brigade. |

|During Operation Iraqi Freedom, I oversaw battlefield communications for the 4th BCT (ABN), 25th ID brigade headquarters and deployed |

|with the tactical assault command post throughout Iraq providing critical command and control to the BCT Commander and select staff. |

|Additionally, I am responsible for preventive maintenance checks and services on assigned vehicles and power generators before, during, |

|and after military operations; as well as supply requests for unit level expenditures during deployment and back at home station. I |

|earned two Army Commendation Medals and a Combat Action Badge by the Brigade Commander and a Certificate of Achievement by a Military |

|Transition Team (MITT) and an Operational Detachment Alpha team (ODA) for troubleshooting and successfully resolving communication issues|

|that would have adversely impacted their mission during Operation Iraqi Freedom. |

|I want to be an Army Aviator because of the diversity within the profession. As an Army aviator, you can either save lives or bring the |

|fight to the enemy - all while flying. As an example, while on patrol in Iraq our lead vehicle struck an IED producing casualties that |

|needed immediate care. Because of the situation on the ground, I called in the Nine Line MEDEVAC. Within minutes, I communicated |

|directly with the pilot that would land and take our casualties to the Combat Support Hospital. I experienced first hand how aviators |

|risk their lives landing in hostile environments to save Soldiers. This example of dedication to duty, selfless service, and love for |

|both country and fellow Soldier made me realize I wanted to become an Army Aviator. I know that as an Army Aviator, I will have the |

|privilege to fly for my country and work with a great team of aviators. In situations like the one I observed from the ground, I will |

|also be making a difference in someone’s life. Even as a communication specialist, I proved to leaders and staff during combat |

|operations that I will be able to accomplish the mission while working under pressure. I received awards and accolades for the services I|

|provided and I feel that it is time for me to accept more responsibility and take a bigger role in the Army. The experience that I posses|

|gave me the tools and attributes necessary to become a warrant officer in the field of a 153A Aviator. |
