Military Experiences
May 1992 - Jun 1996
Information Systems Chief
Originally was assigned to the MALS as an aviation maint. analyst but when I got there and the Avn Supply Officer found out my background I was seconded to Avn Supply to support NALCOMIS and data systems as part of ADP team. Managed NALCOMIS, and additionally served as 2nd MAW representative for NALCOMIS development - IMA Phase II (conversion from terminal to client server) and OMA deployment. Also managed / supported Banyan Vines and Netware networks. Retired June 1996
Jul 1989 - May 1992
Production Control / ADP
Moved from H&HS when MALS-36 migrated to NALCOMIS. Case of Marine Corps putting a square peg in a square hole for once. Was lat moved to 6047 MOS (now 6049 apparently) based on experience with NALCOMS - actually lucked out when I ran into a Navy Chief I had worked with on the project - he said what are you doing here, I told him sitting in S4, he said he was part of the conversion training team at MALS-36 - he told the AMO at MALS and shortly after that - I was sent over to MASL-36...on a 'temporary assignment' that turned into what as officially called a PCS move..... sometimes you get lucky.
Feb 1988 - Jul 1989
Maintenance Control SNCO
Maintenance Control - T-39 aircraft (glorified taxi). Worst time I ever had in service - some how someone thought they did me a favor and sent me on an accompanied tour to a unit that had 1 airframe (plus two contractor maintained C-12) - and the T-39 had limited parts support, and scheduled for retirement. Thing was a pig of a hangar queen, and when it went away 10 months after I got there and I got stuck in S-4 counting weeds
Jan 1984 - Jan 1988
Production Control SNCO
Production Control -moved from power plants to fill a slot in Production Control, actually found I liked it - and it paid off later on down the road. (NALCOMIS). The challenge of scheduling maintenance,juggling competing priorities and supply issues really was something I could sink my teeth in (plus I kept my hands clean)
