Aviation Ordnance Technician
United States Marine Corps
06.2020 - 08.2023
- As a team leader, I was tasked with making sure we had the right tools and ordnance to load 15 aircraft with 5 million dollars worth of ordnance with a limited amount of personnel. I developed a plan and communicated it to my team by giving them a brief of their specific jobs. I supervised them to make sure their task was getting done in a safe and timely manner. I successfully completed my task, and the aircraft were safely sent out.
- As a collateral duty inspector, I was tasked with verifying our weapons functioned properly and were installed according to our technical publications. While supervising my subordinates and keeping track of electronic records. While I filled my billet as a CDI for over a year, I maintained and supervised multiple aircraft for thousands of flight hours.
