Personal Narrative: My Naval Career
Despite non-selection, my pursuit of this prestigious and challenging position will not be deterred.

It is important to note that I did not submit an LDO-CWO package for FY-14 due to the time constraints I experienced while standing up Naval Beach Unit SEVEN with an under staffed office and operational commitment.

The operational experience and administrative expertise that I have acquired through my tours supporting OEF/OIF, FDNF, at sea, on flag

    I have a deep interest in the ocean and marine life, which was fostered when my family and I moved to the Pacific Coast. This interest grew further after I went on a backstage tour to the aquarium at the Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo.
