Bio
I served for ten years. That time has had me work with MP's, Armored Artillery, Stryker Infantry as a combat medic, and as a Clinic NCOIC at Ft. Hood. I've learned a lot about running an Aid Station and being a line medic as well as the details behind providing garrison medical care under the Military Health System.
Military Experiences
Feb 2014 - Feb 2015
Department NCOIC
I worked as the NCOIC for the Pediatric Department at CRDAMC. This job required me to manage the collective work of doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, and various other administrative personnel. It truly opened my eyes to the struggles of delivering a relevant, viable health care system to not only soldiers, but their families as well.

BAS NCOIC
I ran a Battalion Aid Station for day to day sick call issues as well as long term health care for the soldiers of this battalion. I also manage the day to day operations and medical qualifications of 34 medics through 6 team leaders.

The unit, having been spread across 13 forward bases and out posts, had small aid stations operating at almost each of these locations.
