Can you share your experience serving in the military?
My military career began in 2011 when I attended technical school for intelligence. Upon completion, I was stationed in Langley AFB, Va where I served the ACC MAJCOM (Air Combat Command Major Command) Senior Leadership as the command briefer and officer-in-charge of the “watch.” From there, I transferred jobs and was over the training, support, and standards and evaluation of all intelligence units in the command. Upon completion of that tour, I went to Maxwell AFB, Montgomery Alabama where I served in ROTC as the head of field training, overseeing all field exercise training, logistics, curriculum creation, and day-to-day operations for over 3K cadets and Air Force Staff. I culminated that assignment as the Executive Officer for the ROTC Commander. Leaving Montgomery, I came to the 75th Intelligence Squadron as the flight commander to over 50+ cyber intelligence airmen supporting cyber operations. And now, I am at 16 Air Force Staff as the Chief of Cyber Operations Support to the Joint Forces. Within my career, I have been on numerous deployments and joint exercises. However, the biggest prize I received is my son James Edgar, who has been with me every step of the way.
