As a veteran of the US Air Force, I have had the privilege of learning advanced skills in communication, navigation, and mission systems as a 2A2X1 SOF/PR Integrated Communication/Navigation/Mission Systems. My journey in the military started with basic training where I learned the discipline and leadership skills that have helped me in my career as an entrepreneur.

In my advanced skills training, I learned about communication systems, navigation, and mission systems. I was responsible for operating, maintaining, and repairing communication and navigation equipment that was critical to the success of missions. This training gave me a solid foundation in technical skills, and I learned how to think critically and solve problems under pressure.

Transitioning from military life to entrepreneurship was not easy, but I was able to use the skills I acquired in the military to start my own business.

This is a skill that I developed while working in the military, and it has been instrumental in my success as a business owner.

Another skill I used was my ability to communicate effectively. As a veteran, I learned how to communicate with different people from different backgrounds, and I learned how to convey information clearly and concisely. This skill has been invaluable in my business, and it has helped me to build relationships with clients and partners.
