  Worked as an Avionics Special Equipment Repairer maintaining equipment such as Inertial Navigation Systems, Transponder, Tacan, Weather Radar, and Infra Red Counter Measures (IRCM). I spent 6 years in South Korea assigned to the 3rd Military Intelligence Battalion, 501st MI Group. During that time, I learned to repair the Inertial Navigation System (INS) from on the job training and was awarded the additional skill identifier R5 as INS repairman to my MOS. During my tenure there, I moved up to INS section chief and I earned a Meritorious Service Medal for achieving a readiness rate of 100% which had not been seen in that unit on that equipment before. I also earned 3 Army Achievement Awards for my performance during that time. I made the Commandant's list (top 10%) for attending the Primary Leadership Development Course (PLDC). Show less
