Jackson Springs, North Carolina October
2011 to October 2013
Salary: $70,000 USD Annual
Supervisor: David Jensen
Title: Team Leader, IDD Sustainment/Canine
I served as a Team Leader in IDD Canine Sustainment. As the IDD Team
Leader at K2 Solutions, I am responsible for IDD Safety, Basic Care and
Maintenance of IDD's. I am responsible for IDD First Aid as well as Safely
Handling Explosive Training Aids. The Team Leader is also responsible for
the development of a weekly training schedule, the planning for use of the
IDD's, Safe Transportation of IDD's, Kenneling of IDD's.
I recently completed 11 weeks of Integration training with the IDD's at the
Marine Corp Combat Training Center. I successfully completed IDD Team RSO &
I Training along with TTECG IDD Orientation and the complete pre-deployment
(EMV) Mohave Viper Exercises.
The EMV pre-deployment training/Integration Training was valuable for me as
a Team Leader. I was able to experience the complete process of training
with the IDD's through to deployment.
In addition, I have certified 29 IDD's at K2 Solutions. The initial 14
IDD's were Green dogs. To date, I have never had a dog fail a
certification. I take pride in completing these certifications with two
new employees at K2. I feel I brought along and trained both the IDD's and
the new trainers. I hold a commitment to upholding K2 Policy and make an
effort to train and discuss K2 policy situations with trainers in my
charge.
At the request of the Senior Trainers, I designed the K2 Trainers/FSR
Training assessment currently in use to evaluate the skills of trainers on
staff.
I have made a commitment at K2 to complete all basics/collar conditioning
on IDD's in training. I do not cut corners. I have trained Kevin Wood for
a seven month period in preparation for his current FSR assignment. I take
a great deal of pride in my opportunity at K2. I want to be the best at
producing an excellent product for K2 Solutions.
