Security Clearance: Top Secret Clearance

Work Experience:

United States Army veteran.

I completed my first full term of active service. Maintained the standards of performance and conduct that emphasizes the importance of honorable service.

It is important to emphasize that military service is a calling different from any civilian occupation. It is the individuals sole choice and not ​a requirement to serve.

The military is an organization which frequently places it's members in stressful environments and situations while following unquestioned orders. This demand requires personnel capable of maintaining a positive attitude and sustained motivation. Therefore the military promotes readiness, as soldiers we are expected to answer the call  of service whenever and wherever presented without resignation.

My previous commitment to the United States, the Army, my fellow citizens, and Soldiers instills within me a great sense of pride to know that I honorably completed this service.

  • Adhered and maintained the organizations physical, legal and moral values

​                                                              The Physical:

Every member of the Armed Forces regardless of their job title is a soldier first and must therefore be capable of performing the arduous tasks presented in all situations. Physical exertion is expected from the beginning to the end and physical fitness is year round. Standard seasonal physical assessments are conducted in order to track the progress of the individual and provide remedial alternatives if necessary. Overall physical well being was provided through a variety of programs designed for prevention, treatment and recovery.

                                                       ​The Legal and Moral:

Due to the sensitive nature of the work, confidentiality of varying degrees would be required. The military expects a high moral character from it's personnel. The military recruits people to certain positions who can be impervious and resilient against internal and external influences with the purpose of corruption. Access to information and machines capable of inflicting harm to the nation and it's population requires a need for personnel with a sense for the physical, moral and legal implications when misused.

By setting high standards for oneself the individual can become a role model for others around him to emulate.

Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage..

 

  • Ability to work in a diverse team environment

The military is a vast and diverse organization which networks within it's own five branches and across other platforms of government agencies which includes the civilian population. The military maintains facilities across the globe which brings us in to contact with foreign nationals.

Millions of Americans from diverse backgrounds and with a wide variety of aptitudes and attitudes have served in the military. This unique exposure allows for an opportunity to motivate, train and emulate our predecessors and peers in order to meet the required standards.

"Equal Opportunity is Everyone's Obligation".
