Skills
Natural born leader, highly skilled in security and management, team player, extremely reliable
Accomplishments
In the Army I got promoted to a senior E6 position as an E3 because I knew the job and had the best qualifications. Insurgent detainer expertise, and hyper-vigilance. Leadership skills and management have always come fast and easy due to my nature. I put together and ran a course (the U.S. Army implemented as a mentor course after I created it) for Servant Leadership skills.
Affiliations
U.S. Army
Certification
Multiple weapons qualification that I was graded as expert marksman. First Responder courses.
Additional Information
My background doesn’t look great on paper, however, the only two things on there are explainable and have never been an issue in the past once explained in full. A girl admittedly to the judge lied about her actual age at a house party, and the second on my background I didn’t think it was illegal to “steal” my own property from my ex.-wife.
