Forward Observer/Joint Fires Observer
Baghdad, Iraq
Oct 2003 - Jun 2010 (6 years 8 months)
As a Soldier in the United States Army, I became disciplined and punctual. My job was to call in air strikes (close air support) upon enemy positions. My experience in the US Army, including two tours in Iraq, taught me how to improvise and adapt to make the best out of any situation. It also taught me strong leadership skills, and provided me the time and experience to develop them.
