Upon graduation I attended SWOS and COMMO schools in Newport and then reported to USS DALE in Mayport as the EWO. I eventually served as GMO and ADMINO on DALE, and then did a brief stint as a Communications Liaison Officer (fancy term for translator) with the Argentine Navy during the Haiti thing. I then attended Navigator School in Norfolk and reported aboard USS THOMAS S GATES as the Navigator. A few months later I was pulled off the ship for a back surgery (one reason I’m not a reservist now) and ended up serving the remainder of my time as HRMO at FCTCLANT Dam Neck, VA.

Since then I’ve been working in the Medical Devices and Diagnostics industry in production and QA.
