Part Time Employee
During my service at Blount Island command, one of my primary billets was as a System Administrator, Database Administrator, Data Analyst, & Technical Directive program manager. During this time, I developed countless SQL scripts to help pull over 3,000 records of aircraft support equipment. During this time, I was in charge of validating and screening weekly NESSUS vulnerability scans and performing operating system hardening on over 40 knowledge-based vulnerabilities on the OOMA system, increasing database security to 100%. Utilizing Vmware technology, I learned during my off time a way of leveraging virtualization and creating an OVF file of the entire OOMA system container, completely eliminating the 200-step process of rebuilding the OOMA system during catastrophic failure.
During this time, I managed a technical directive program. I developed a complex SQL query that was capable of replacing the outdated process of tracking aircraft modifications using a manual Excel sheet into an entire automated query that could be pulled monthly for statistical analysis. During this time, I could combine three database tables, which allowed me to notice that the system baseline manager was purging old aircraft modification TDs during specific periods out of the system baseline fleet marine corps-wide which affected operations of Prepositioning program. I swiftly reacted with senior management and eliminated the purging of old aircraft modification TDs, allowing 167 outstanding TDs to be tracked into the system for future maintenance cycles for the prepositioning program and 12 Naval Vessels.
During this time, I was in charge of the Homeguard server at HMLA-773 during a major training exercise involving transferring and uploading over 500+ aircraft information from the New Jersey (Homeguard) Database server to the California (Initial Detachment) Database server. Facing multiple assignments, we faced system issues when we almost lost 1 million dollars worth of AH-1Z aircraft data. Still, using problematic system problem solving and the help of another information technology professional, we were able to recover and rebuild aircraft electronic records and successfully securely offload & upload 500+ worth of aircraft assets without violating aircraft data integrity between both systems. During this time, I was the logs and records program manager, completing validation and documentation for over 300+ parts of the AH-1Z helicopter, and verifying that all documentation was accurate.
During this time, I was in charge of a class of over 12 students and instructed to teach every junior marine how to be a leader in the United States Marine Corps. During this time, I gave 24 hours of class instructions and lessons on teaching junior marines the basics of small unit leadership, communication, integrity, and Marine Corps history. Training the future of the United States Marine Corps and giving proactive lessons, every student was capable of graduating from the class and learning the fundamentals of leadership in the United States Marine Corps and outside military service.
