Summary
I worked as a combat medic in 2-325 Airborne Infantry Regiment 2 Mobile Brigade Combat Team 82nd Airborne Division for almost 3 years. While with this unit I was essential in the success of our mission. I was the only soldier capable of ordering medical supplies with a budget exceeding $200,000 a year and conducting maintenance of our equipment worth over $500,000. While in this position I lead the way for our division in understanding the new ordering system known as GCSS-Army.
