Satellite Communications NCO Technician

C4I, J6, JMFTX | Austin, TX

Our unit converted to Civil Affairs and I was transferred to the JMFTX J6 C4I detachment. I became a Satellite Communications NCO Technician. The detachment consisted of US Army, Texas National Guard and Texas State Guard personnel. I was deployed to TXARNG HQ's Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas where I operated and maintained communication networks during Hurricane Rita relief operations. I then deployed forward with Operation Chainsaw at Beaumont, Texas, as part of Hurricane Rita relief operations, I operated and maintained satellite communications systems for the TOC and the MWR. In July 2006 I deployed to the Texas/Mexico Border as part of Operation Lone Star, a humanitarian medical mission. I operated and maintained satellite communications for the HQs and the TOC.

Squad Leader

C Co, 1-39th, TXSG | Amarillo, TX

I enlisted in the Texas State Guard Military Police Branch as a CPL (E-4) under the Stripes for Skills program that awarded pay grade and rank incentives to enlistees with civilian specialty skills such as being a commissioned Police Officer. Due to my prior experience and demonstrated leadership capacities I was put in charge of an MP Squad. During this period I attended US Army NCO leadership courses and was promoted to Sergeant (E-5). My MTOE slot moved me to a temporary assignment as Brigade Personnel NCO while I trained in Satellite Communications. I was deployed for Evacuee Shelter Management/Security operations at Dallas, Texas as part of Hurricane Katrina relief operations. I was given an MP squad to lead on physical security of the shelter.
