Admin Chief

MWSG-37, 3rd MAW, I MEF | MCAS El Toro, CA

Admin Chief for MWSG 37. When I got to the unit they did not know what to do with 8 Water Purification marines. I was the only one who knew how to type and so I eventually became the senior marine as a Sergeant. I had to take the regulations and SOPs home and study. MCO 5000 was my guide.
