As an Infantry squad leader I prepared my Soldiers for wartime missions, I supervised and managed other first-line supervisors (Team Leaders). As an Army squad leader I was the tactical center of a squad, maneuvering and leading my team to meet our objective. I ensured that each Soldier followed military standards. There were frequent opportunities to lead by example, especially when executing an order on a mission. As one of the most successful squad leaders division wide I had to be physically fit, mentally sharp, and lead my squad under stressful situations. At all times I had to display excellent leadership skills, good weaponry handling, and nothing less than expert marksmanship. These qualifications were continuously evaluated by senior NCOs, platoon leaders, and company commanders. My role as a squad leader was evaluated by how successful I lead my squad through a series of obstacles to achieve a goal. I possessed a strong sense of duty, exceeding basic directives from the company commander and first sergeant by going above and beyond their duties, and by doing so was honored as NCO of the Quarter by the Division Commander. I also possessed very high initiative, which I demonstrated by taking proactive steps to address situations rather than waiting for orders. During my time in the Army I also served in South Korea on the DMZ supporting the 2nd Infantry Division, I was the enlisted aide for the FORSCOM Commander at Ft. McPherson, Ga., the 3D INF Div in Ft Stewart, Ga., volunteering to deploy and serve in Iraq. My home unit of assignment was with the 101st Airborne Division "Screaming Eagles." With the 101st I gladly deployed to Afghanistan in efforts to defend against the 9-11-2001 terrorist attacks against America. I also took part in an an 18 month long deployment in the initial invasion of Iraq with 3D INF Div "Rock of the Marne". I completed 2 enlistments to this nation with 3 deployments to my credit. 1 to Afghanistan, 2 to Iraq.
