Position: Petroleum Supply Specialist (92 Foxtrot)

Company: United States Army

Last Duty Station: Fort Campbell, Kentucky (A. Co. 563rd Aviation Support Battalion, 159th Aviation

Regiment, 101st Airborne Division)

Enlistment Dates: April 2003 – November 2006

Description of duties performed:

I attended basic training (Boot Camp) at Ft. Jackson, SC. Then I attended advanced individual training (AIT)

at Ft. Lee, VA. I completed my training in the top one percent of my graduating class for Petroleum Supply

Specialist (92 Foxtrot). My first duty station was with the 602nd ASB, 2nd Infantry Division located in Camp

Stanley, South Korea. While stationed in South Korea I took several U.S. Army sponsored classes, for

example: Hazard Communications, Handling or Transporting of Hazardous Materials, and Combat Life

Saver Skill level 1 (Medic). Our mission mainly consisted in support of helicopter re-fueling. About six

months into my deployment to South Korea I was selected to drive for an Air Force three star General. My

training for this included, small arms firing, defensive and tactical driving, driving while under indirect fire

and evasive maneuvering. I was awarded the Joint Forces ribbon for outstanding service. After South Korea,

I chose to go to the 101st Airborne Division, located at Ft. Campbell, KY. My unit was due to deploy to Iraq

shortly after my arrival in 2004. The unit was slated to support aviation assets while in combat throughout

Iraq from 2005-2006. Most of the time we supported the fueling operations of the U.S. Special Forces in

country. This had us conducting missions while in convoys on numerous highways and roads. We would get

grid coordinates and meet Special Forces Aviation Units for what we call “Hot FARPS”. This simply means

we would re-arm/ re-fuel helicopters while the blades were still turning. As a Corporal, I was in charge of a

small squad, usually consisting of 6-9 soldiers. I was awarded several medals while in support of Operation

Iraqi Freedom III. These include the Army Commendation Medal, Iraqi Freedom Ribbon, Overseas Combat

Ribbon, and Combat Action Badge. Reason for leaving the service: I was awarded an Honorable Discharge

for exceptional service.

Duty with the Oklahoma Army National Guard

Dates of service: December 2006 – March 2013

Unit: A. Co. 114th Aviation (Detachment 1) & A. Co. 777th ASB

Duty Stations: Oklahoma City, OK and Okmulgee, Oklahoma

Description of duties performed:

My first duty assignment was with a small aviation unit in Norman, Oklahoma. This unit was a special

detachment augmented through the Governor’s office. On regular drill status it was a search and surveillance

Aviation Company. We had 4 to 5 OH-58 Kiowa Helicopters to support and maintain. My first couple of

years drilling with the company I was a petroleum supply specialist (92 Foxtrot). We handled all re-fueling

of the helicopters, maintained fuel records, maintained all fuels/ petroleum based products, maintained all

hazmat for the facility, and managed our fuel trucks. We supported our companies’ aviation assets plus other

aviation units located in the state of Oklahoma as well. In 2007 I re-classed my job title (MOS) to a

Pneudraulics/Pneumatics Maintenance Technician (15 Hotel). With this change in jobs I was promoted to

Sergeant (E5). Soon after, I was awarded my own squad of soldiers. Depending on our strength in numbers, I

managed seven to ten soldiers. On drill weekends we would perform maintenance checks on the helicopters.

If there were any problems or scheduled maintenance to be done on the hydraulic components, my squad and

I would perform them. In 2008 our company transitioned to another location. We were now going to be

conducting operations out of a hanger located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This hanger was at the Will

Rodgers Air National Guard Base. In order to hold my position as Sergeant I decided to re-enlist for a couple

more years. During the year 2011 my unit went through reorganization within the Oklahoma National Guard.

Most of the unit’s support platoons were being scrapped. I made a transfer into another aviation support

battalion out of Okmulgee, OK. I automatically assumed squad leader position and managed 13 soldiers. We

supported numerous aviation units in the state. While in this unit I developed young soldiers into becoming

the best re-fuelers the state has seen. It was with great pleasure to promote all 13 soldiers to ranks of

Corporal/Specialist (E4) or to Sergeant (E5). Most deployed to Afghanistan to support the aviation efforts of

that war.

In March of 2013, my enlistment was up and I decided to leave the Guard. I had devoted almost 7

years to developing young men and women in many different job roles. On multiple occasions I had been

asked to join the ranks of becoming a Warrant Officer. It was an honor to be asked but not something I

wanted to interject myself into. I loved the time I spent in the Guard and made lifelong friends while there.

The training I received is insurmountable compared to private schooling. I was discharged with a

distinguished Honorable Discharge.
