I have worked ACF (Analysis, Correlation, and Fusion) Training Manager: Coordinated a team of 7 people and trained all incoming intelligence analysts and scheduled all incoming analysts for Air Operations Center training and made sure they were all CMR (Combat Mission Ready). I was a regional analyst for the PACOM region of the world dealing with China and North Korea. I was also in charge of the entire AOC training program during this time which consisted of about 170 personnel. I was the Unit Support lead providing guidance to all the flying units on intelligence mission reporting procedures and coordinated any kind of threat updates in all phases of execution and planning.

I was stationed at Scott AFB, IL and worked for USTRANSCOM. I worked on their 24 hour watch floor for 14 months and while there did much research as our team was responsible for briefing the Navy O-6 there each and every morning updating him on all current and operations events going on throughout the world. I also was in charge of the Share Point site the whole time there I was on the watch. After my time on the watch, I transitioned to the Ops floor and was the NCOIC of the EUCOM Branch or Cell. There I oversaw 11 people including 9 civilians and we were responsible for all things EUCOM and produced weekly reports updating the CC on EUCOM events. I also was heavily involved in doing Port Studies in which we analyzed ports all around the world making sure that our assets could get into a port when/if needed to complete our mission. Job was very challenging but alos very rewarding.

I was stationed at Wright Patterson AFB, OH during this time. Here I was an Acquisitions Intelligence Analyst where I worked on numerour program reviews for the command. This job entailed looking at a weapon system 15 years down the road and try and put 2 and 2 together and see how it would function and what affect that it would have once it was fully capable. Worked with a variety of scientists and lab workers. Deployed to Baghdad, Iraq for the whole year of 2008 and I worked Detainee Operations while there which was an awesome experience. I also was in charge of the whole training program for the HQ AFMC IS which is where I worked as myself and a civilian Wendy Westover started a training program from the ground up and got it going. I did that for the last 2 years that I was stationed there and we brought up the training standard 100% and was lauded by the HQ AFMC IS CC for getting it up and running. We were responsible for training all the military members in the IS and also had civilian give training briefs relating their experiences to the junior enlisted. Great assignment and was a little different than your average Intel job.

I was stationed in South Korea for a year and while I was there I was a collection manager for the U-2 platform at Osan AB, ROK. It was very challenging to say the least. Before I got to Korea, I took and passed the IROC Course given at Goodfellow AFB, TX which is a collection manager's course. While in Korea for my 1 year, I worked on PRISM which is a collection management tool. My job basically entailed making sure the U-2 collected on certain targets in North Korea and elsewhere. I was embedded with some imagery guys as well as we made sure that the President's targets got collected on a daily and weekly basis and then we would brief the O-6 in charge giving the commanders situational awareness. We worked on various shifts around the clock and participated in 5 peninsula wide exercises that the whole peninsula would participate in. They basically made sure that we were war time ready in case anything happened on the peninsula while I was there. Collection management and ISR tasking skills were definitely honed during this tour of duty.

I was stationed here for 5 years and this is where I was introduced to deploying as I deployed multiple times while stationed here. Sept. 11, 2001 happened when I was stationed here and we were on the road for most of my time here. This was a KC-135 tanker unit at the time and therefore I supplied tanker intelligence to the pilots such as pre-mission briefings, post mission briefings, and also SERE information. I deployed to such locations as Bahrain, Turkey, Qatar, and Diego Garcia during the time I was at Grand Forks. This assignment definitely taught me the value of teamwork and taking care of my people as family was stretched thin during this time.

This was my first assignment in the U.S. Air Force. I was stationed at a special operations wing which was the 58 SOW. I learned a lot of technical knowledge that special operators needed to complete their missions safely. I taught an Intel class to the special operations pilots which was titled Intel-1. I also taught a class to the Pararescuemen on a monthly basis. The learning curve was challenging and great coming from civilian life but it taught me to grow up very fast and learn a lot of valuable and key information. The job was very intense for a first assignment. I was at this assignment for 4 years in which I then separated from the Air Force honorably in 1998 and then came back in May of 2001 and that is the explanation for my break in service.
