13 Foxtrot Forward Observer resume example

While deployed I had many tasks other then the lengthy description below. I was a Forward Observer, Infantryman, driver, open seat gunner, 12 hour tower guard shifts, ECP control and many more. Basically whatever I was asked to do, I did it. There is nothing I couldn't or still cant accomplish. I dealt with foreign nationals as well as the extremely friendly Taliban. I was not on a big base so everything was self sustained. WE all faced challenges hourly during my 14 month tour and I chose to learn from every single one. I adapted and I survived............Established, maintained and operated radio and wire communications and speech security equipment including encoding and decoding of messages using CEOI or grid thrust line templates.
