As a Chemical, Biological, Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) defense specialist in the United States Marine Corps I have the pleasure and responsibility of preparing fellow service members on how to properly protect themselves from the worst effects attributed to Weapons of Mass Destruction. The information passed down from myself, as a subject matter expert,include how to identify a possible attack, perform immediate decontamination, recognize symptoms of affected personnel, avoid contaminated areas and continue operations in a contaminated area as per Marine Corps and Department of Defense standards. I have taught groups as small as 20 and larger than 200 personnel and due to this fact I feel confident in my ability to instruct or train military or civilian groups. I currently hold a secret clearance from the United States Marine Corps and have been serving in the Active Reserve since the end of tour of Active Duty in 2010. During my time on active duty I attended the Radiological Emergency Technician Operations Course (RET Ops), a school detailing how to conduct on site management of a WMD event or disaster in both rural and urban environments. I also worked closely with my battalion's intelligence section to keep abreast of the current WMD threats CONUS and OCONUS while deployed in support of Iraqi Freedom during 2008 - 2009. Since being with the reserve I have traveled to many different sites in support of Anti Terrorism Battalion based in Bessemer, Alabama. These sites included Florida, Alaska, New York and Louisiana. in every circumstance I was the only CBRN defense specialist in attendance and thus had to work independently to ensure training was conducted and information was passed on. Perhaps most importantly I had to maintain high standards of behavior and appearance due to being a direct representative of higher headquarters.
