1. CLASS V. CLASS ACT. AMMUNITION SPECIALIST.
When I joined the U.S. Army, I didn’t choose easy. I chose Ammunition Specialist because nothing moves without ammo. Bullets, rockets, explosives—I made sure the warfighter had what they needed, when they needed it. No excuses. That’s where I learned accountability and precision. That’s where discipline was forged. From there, I mastered SAAS-MOD, TAMIS, and CAPULDI. I moved Class V from port to battlefield, tracked every round, and secured every asset. I operated under pressure, trained the team, and executed when systems failed. No blame, just results. That’s the mindset I bring to everything: data, code, and cybersecurity. Trained under fire. Tested in the wire. I lead with discipline. I deliver with purpose.
2. DOMINATING THE WIRE. SR. SYSTEMS ANALYST. ALAT. SASMO.
After loading ammo in the field, I stepped into the digital battlespace. I joined the Automated Logistics Assistance Team (ALAT) and the Sustainment Automation Support Management Office (SASMO). Mission: Dominate the wire. I was tasked with managing and optimizing the Army’s lifeline—Logistics Information Systems. I operated and mastered STAMIS, SAAS-MOD, PBUSE, GCSS-Army, SAMS-E, ULLS-A, and MC4. I trained fellow warfighters, delivering 40-hour SAAS-MOD courses from the foxhole. I integrated RFID Savi SmartChain and BCS3 to enable real-time battlefield tracking. I configured CAISI and VSAT systems under pressure, pushing signal through dirt and fire. I maintained secure communications in denied environments—no fiber, no fallback. I ran updates, ran audits, and secured classified data flow across forward-deployed systems. I trained the troops. When systems failed, I fixed them—fast. No excuses. Just solutions. That’s how I operated in the wire.
3. FROM SUPPLY LINES TO SIGNAL LINES.
G4 to G6, Logistics to Communications. I didn’t switch lanes. I expanded the battle space. I started with the grind, tracking convoys, moving Class V, sustaining the fight. I knew every pallet, every shipment, every delay that could cost lives. That was G4. Logistics. The artery. Then I stepped into G6. Communications. The nerve. The network. The signal. I moved from supply lines to fiber lines, configured CAISI, hardened servers, secured data flow under pressure. Most stay in one lane. I operated in both. Because mission success needs both muscle and message. I became the bridge, boots on gravel, hands on routers. Syncing systems. Driving ops. Keeping the wire alive in the places where failure wasn’t an option. That’s where I evolved. That’s where I still operate.
"A Soldier can live months without mail, weeks without food, days without
water, and minutes without air, but not one second without AMMO!"
