Good Evening, it's been a busy week here I finally have a few moments to put some thoughts into an email. A few things about me, I am married to my lovely wife Jennifer and we have two kids in the houses (I also have two kids in Missouri with former spouse). I am finishing up my military career with 20 years as an Unmanned Aircraft Operator with very little IT experience to my name except for troubling video cables or getting power generation running again. I am usually very good with troubleshooting and have a passion to study why something does that do what it does. I am 37 (38 in April) years old and want to have my second career after the military in the IT field. I want skills that require me to be a lifelong learner.

I am busy

    Soldiers in the 35P Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) face many challenges as the progress through their language school and Advanced Individual Training (AIT). They spend six to 18 months focusing all their attention on learning a second language at an accelerated pace and when they have accomplished that daunting task they are sent to Goodfellow Air Force Base to learn the technical aspect of their MOS, usually another three or four months of training. By the time a 35P Soldier arrives at their first duty assignment they have two or more years of service.

Marine Corps Officers are the epitome of a great Marine and have to have certain personality traits that distinguish themselves from others and label them as leaders. My father raised me with the mentality that ideals such as integrity and sacrifice are more important in a man than materialistic objects and bad morals. Growing up, I had a lot of experience to gain these traits and even learn new ones like commitment and initiative. In high school, I was on the swim team and played water polo all four years, and my junior year my coach made me Team Captain.…
