4. Military Occupational Specialty. Several: 11E>19E>12F>12B>12Z5M
5. I served for 21 years and at multiple locations and Divisions. I'd list them all, but folks would think I was a nomad in the military of some sort. I finally ended up here at Fort Hood and Retired. Then I started a new Career and will soon retire from that as well. Happiness is all around me now

United States Army, 1990-2010
Sergeant First Class, Retired
Financial Management
Stateside Duty Stations - Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Fort Bliss, Texas; Fort Jackson, South Carolina; DFAS Denver, Colorado; Fort McPherson, Georgia
Overseas Duty Stations - Karlsruhe, Germany; Wildflecken, Germany; Camp Casey, Korea; Yongsan (Seoul), Korea; Schweinfurt, Germany
Combat Zone Duty - Camp Arifjan, Kuwait; FOB Diamondback (Mosul), Iraq
My most professionally challenging assignment was my four years with US Army Central Command (USARCENT) working on a small team in the G8/Resource Management as a Logistics Budget Analyst. We managed $9B+ annually in logistics spending in support of both Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
This was followed by my final and most rewarding assignment to a Finance Detachment that deployed to Iraq where I was a Disbursing Agent with up to $12M cash on hand supporting ~90 Paying Agents and contract payments. Went from the budget analyst job where rounding off to the nearest million was good enough most days to being a disbursing agent where counting each and every penny at COB was required every day!
As the saying goes, Join the Army and See the World!
