Army - Staff Sergeant at I started in the Army at 18 years old, two months after High School. My MOS is 25U, but I have worked in several different jobs such as 25U, 25B, and 25H making my experience diverse. I have been an admin to computer and phone systems, connected my units to secure satellites in remote locations, and utilized radios to talk to commands thousands of miles away. In 2018 I deployed to Afghanistan and in that same year I started my Associates degree. I spent 9 months down range, and came back at the end of 2018. Since then I have worked with computers as an admin communications NCO for general staff and Generals. I am currently working in a Signal Brigade as an Operations NCO.
