Bio
My longest military experience is as a Healthcare Specialist Combat Medic and I learned quite a lot along the way, but when I graduated I was not given the opportunity to certify for the National Registry, and I've recently heard that new 68W medics are now required to pass National Registry. If there is anyone that can guide me in how to obtain National Registry as a civilian that would be great.
Born on 12 October, 1956 in Indianapolis, IN in my civilian career I have mostly worked as an armed security officer, both in retail and industrial clients Starting out with Thompson & Associates, and ending with Pinkerton Security as an unarmed industrial security officer.
Upon graduation from Thomas Carr Howe Academy in 1975, I started working as a busboy for Laughner's Cafeteria, and I have also worked as a Telemarketer and as a printer.
