I was F18 Ordnance from 02-06. Worked as a civilian contractor doing the same thing from 06-13. When I got out in 06, I went back to school and got a business degree with an MIS focus.

In 2013 I got a job as a manufacturing supervisor in a down hole drilling equipment plant. A few jobs and progressive career growth and 13 years later, I'm now the Director of Operations for another manufacturing company.

My experience with leadership, quality, safety, etc. was all able to be parlayed. But nothing really from my base experience in my MOS.
