Work Experience
Heavy Wheel Operator
U.S. Army Active Duty-Fort Campbell North, KY
March 2021 to August 2024
I served in the US Army Active duty for 3 years and 19 weeks as a heavy wheel operator. I graduated basic training and AIT out of Fort Leonard Wood Missouri. From there I was stationed in Camp Humphreys with 2nd infantry division in South Korea. I was then stationed to Fort Campbell Kentucky with the 101st airborne division. My title/rank in my field was Specialist or E-4, this title usually consisted of being team leader alongside Sergeants. During my time as team leader I would make sure new soldiers had all equipment prepared and ready for whenever we would have convoys/missions. I would also help new soldiers or the “privates” with physical training plans to prep them to do well for the army combat fitness test. My main job in the army mainly persisted of proper maintenance on our vehicles/weapons/ equipment. Convoy operations were very common in my field of work from learning proper radio etiquette to learning how to be in tactical columns for convoy missions. The time I have spent in the army I have learned how to work under pressure and working together no matter what differences there may be. The army has also taught me to have a very adequate work ethic and I will not leave the job until everything that is needed to get done gets done.
