Bio
I started in the Army Reserves as a medic in 1993. Honorably discharged in 2001. Re-joined in 2004 active duty as a forward observer. Honorably discharged again in 2007. I have been a volunteer firefighter since 1994 and have worked professionally as an EMT, a 911 dispatcher, and a safety specialist. I am now a fire protection systems specialist at DuPont.
Military Experiences
Nov 2005 - Nov 2006
Fire Support NCO
I was in charge of fire support operations on night shift in the Battalion TOC. I monitored radar feeds for incoming fire to the base and conducted counter-fire operations against hostile acts.
2005
Targeting NCO
I was in charge of the HHC Fire Support Element whenever the platoon Sgt wasn't present. I oversaw targeting operations during training exercises on night shift in the Battalion TOC. Conducted training in the GuardFIST for forward observers.
Jun 1994 - Apr 1996
Orthopedic technician
Attended MUTAs and attempted to learn and train in the pre-9/11 Army Reserves. I got my EMT certification and ran on the ambulance at home, but never did anything medical for the USAR from the time I completed active duty training until my transfer into IRR.
Deployments
(2 years, 3 months)May 2006 - Nov 2006
Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF)
I was in charge of fire support operations on night shift in the Battalion TOC. I monitored radar feeds for incoming fire to the base and conducted counter-fire operations against hostile acts. I was awarded the Army Commendation Medal and the Combat Action Badge for actions during OIF 05-07.
Nov 2005 - May 2006
Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF)
I monitored radar feeds for incoming fire and conducted counter-fire operations as necessary. I was also in charge of tracking the patrol routes of our troops to limit the frequency of using the same routes. This helped reduce the chances of IED attacks. We turned over Camp Charlie to the Iraqi Army and moved North.

Was initially assigned to 1-15 FA and attached to 2-72 Armor as a Fire Support Station Operator on a B-FIST crew. Was later assigned to 2-9 Infantry and served as Targeting NCO. Earned 2 Army Achievement Medals during my time in Korea.
