  I am combat veteran of the United States Army. I was enlisted from 2003-2009. I served as a UH-60 Black Hawk Crew Chief in the US Army for six years. As a UH-60 helicopter repairer, I was primarily responsible for the maintenance of the UH-60 Helicopters.I started in the maintenance company, but transitioned to a flight company where i served as a door gunner during critical aerial missions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. At my end time of service I was honorably discharged at the rank of Sergeant. I go to do some pretty cool stuff while I was deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom. I learned a lot about leadership in the Army. I learned how to be disciplined and lead myself before I could effectively lead others around me. Show less
