  Despite being a graduate with honors of the Chinese Mandarin program at the Defense Language Institute with high Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) scores, my career took an unexpected turn and I served in the deck department onboard the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) for back-to-back deployments to the middle east in support of Operation(s) New Dawn and Enduring Freedom. I was honorably discharged after completing my active duty enlistment as a Boatswain's Mate Third Class and eventually was promoted to Boatswain's Mate Second Class in the USNR. Show less
