Bio
I joined the US Army in 2004, straight out of high school. I went to BCT at Ft Leonard Wood and AIT phase 1 at Ft Sam Houston. Phase 2 of my AIT waas at Ft Gordon, after which I obtained the MOS of 91D (68D now) Operating Room Specialist. I have been an OR Tech since 2005 and have currently over 2,000 hrs of scrub time. You might ask why I'm still a SPC since I've been in since 2004. The reason is is that I needed to grow up. I have had UCMJ action 4 times, and was found guilty on 3 of them (2 Summarized and 1 Company Grade AR-15s. Found Not Guilty against a Field Grade.). I've never lost rank, however, and have never repeated my actions that have lead to the UCMJ. I've learned from them, and have grown into a better Soldier and a better Leader because of them.
I'm currently stationed at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. My strongest surgical skills are in General surgery, Trauma surgery, OB/GYN surgery, Urology surgery, and Plastic surgery. I'm strong in Ortho, Podietry, ENT, and Eyes. Since working here at LRMC I've started doing Spines and Neuro surgery, though I still feel more comfortable having a second tech assist me in the cases.
I take great pride in my job and am considered by the majority of the nurses and doctors that I've worked with to be a great tech. That being said, I have no problem asking my fellow techs for help or advice, even if I've been scrubbing longer than them. You can always learn something from everyone. If I'm scrubbing a case that I've never done before, I will do research on it to prepare myself and to make sure that the case goes as smoothly as possible.
I love being a Soldier and I'm really working hard to get promoted to be an NCO. I love taking care of and helping my fellow Soldiers and always let them know that if they need to vent about anything that I'm more than willing to listen.
