Examples of my expertise

During my time at NMMI I was the executive officer of my troop thus meaning I was second in command. In that time the commander of the troop was demoted thus leaving me solely in charge of 57 cadets. In order to ensure that missions were accomplished, and the welfare of my cadets was taken care of, I frequently delegated jobs to people such as delegating the job of taking accountability to my operations sergeant, the job of academic assurance to my college platoon leader, disciplinary assurance to my first sergeant, and safety assurance to my high school platoon leader. In doing so I was better able to control my cadets, create standard operating procedures, and make difficult decisions such as hiring or firing various other people in specific jobs such as platoon sergeants, and squad leaders.

During my time at Mesilla valley tyre I was a shop worker and was trained in not only dismounting, mounting, and balancing tires, but also finding specific deficiencies in tires such as leaks, uneven tread wear, and flaws in the lining of the tires. Often times customers would come in stating that the tire would often go flat, and at that point it was my job to locate where the leak was, dismount the tire from the rim, and patch the puncture in the tire itself by grinding away a small portion of rubber around the puncture, applying a tire patch, and the covering the patch with rubber cement. After that I would remount and balance the tire so that the customer would have a quality repair on the tire in question.

During my time in the New Mexico National guard, I have served as a cadet with an MOS (or job title) of 09R which means that I am an apprentice to the platoon leader in my unit. I am responsible for creating damage risk assessment sheets for each drill which layout the amount of risk associated with each action taken at training and the ways that each risk is mitigated. Furthermore, I assist the platoon leader by way of providing direction to enlisted troops on any tasks that are to be carried out on that day. Tasks include but are not limited to weapon maintenance, vehicle maintenance, gear maintenance, and the conducting of training such as detainee operations such as escort of detainee, searching of a detainee, and handcuffing/ unhandcuffing of detainees. I was once tasked with supervising maintenance of vehicles, and carried out the role by reading the training Manual and tasking my soldiers to carry out processes such as checking the functionality of all parts to the vehicle.
