Welcome

My experience and Information Technology skills are surpassed only by my enthusiasm to effectively meet the challenges before me. After graduating with a Bachelor of Technology in Application Software Development and holding various positions in the software industry, I am now seeking new and stimulating opportunities within a corporation that offers opportunity for advancement into project management. The enclosed resume reflects a dynamic achiever eager to put knowledge and expertise to work in a fast-paced environment where performance affects the bottom line.

As you will discover, I am a highly capable individual with four years of formal college training and three years of relevant work experience. In addition, I have four years of active duty in the United States Marine Corps. My time in the military has strengthened my discipline, work ethic, ability to work under pressure and as part as a team or as a leader. Additionally, the following personal characteristics would benefit any employer:

  • Strong belief in company loyalty and professional integrity support a superior work ethic
  • Logical thinking and ability to determine overall picture aid in making decisions and solving problems
  • A strong leadership model and positive attitude motivate others to higher levels of performance
  • Follow-up and follow-through ensure positive outcomes
  • Readiness to accept change and embrace new technology illustrates flexibility
  • Friendly, personable, yet professional demeanor, enhances peer, employee, and customer relations

I am currently living in New Jersey and I am accustomed to commuting to my work location. I am ready to begin work immediately upon a solid career commitment.

You will find me an excellent candidate with whom a personal interview would be beneficial. I will confirm receipt of this correspondence within the week and perhaps set up an appointment to meet with you at your convenience. In the meantime, thank you for your time and consideration.

Medals

Navy and Marine Corps. Achievement Medal

Navy and Marine Corps. Achievement Medal x 2 (with Combat Distinguishing Device x 1)

Awarded for outstanding achievement or meritorious service not of a nature that would otherwise warrant awarding the Commendation Medal. Since the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal is designated as an award solely for junior personnel, it is generally only awarded to officers in the pay grade of O-4 and below and enlisted personnel below the grade of E-7. Award authority rests with local commanders, granting a broad discretion of when and for what action the Achievement Medal may be awarded. The Achievement Medal was first proposed as a means to recognize the contributions of junior officers and enlisted personnel who were not eligible to receive the higher Commendation Medal or the Meritorious Service Medal. Additional awards are denoted by award stars. The Valor device may also be awarded.

Iraq Campaign Medal

Iraq Campaign Medal

Awarded to any member of the U.S. military who has performed duty within the borders of Iraq (or its territorial waters) for a period of thirty consecutive days or sixty non-consecutive days. The medal is retroactive to March 19, 2003 and is active until a date to be determined. Personnel who have been engaged in combat with an enemy force, or personnel who have been wounded in combat or wounded as a result of a terrorist attack within Iraq, may receive the Iraq Campaign Medal regardless of the number of days spent within the country. The medal is also awarded posthumously to any service member who dies in the line of duty within Iraq, including from non-combat injuries such as accidents and mishaps.

Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal

Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal

Awarded for participation in "any military campaign of the United States for which no other service medal is authorized" including the Cuban Missile Crisis between October 1962 and June 1963, actions in Lebanon, Taiwan, the Congo, Quemoy and Matsu, and for duty in Berlin between 1961 and 1963, initial operations in South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, Panama, Grenada, Libya, Operation Earnest Will, peacekeeping and sanction missions against Iraq, Operation Northern Watch, Operation Southern Watch, Operation Vigilant Sentinel, and United Nations actions, including Bosnia and Somalia. Additional awards of the medal are denoted by service stars, with the arrowhead device also authorized for United States Army personnel who are awarded the decoration through participation in an airborne or amphibious assault. The Fleet Marine Force combat operation insignia is also authorized for certain sailors.

Marine Corps. Good Conduct Medal

Marine Corps. Good Conduct Medal

Awarded to any enlisted member of the Marine Corps completing three consecutive years of "honorable and faithful service". Such service implies that a standard enlistment was completed without any non-judicial punishments, disciplinary infractions, or court martial offenses. If a service member commits an offense, the three-year mark "resets" and a service member must perform an additional three years of discipline free service before the Marine Corps Good Conduct may be authorized. The Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal was first issued in 1896 and was originally a ribbon and medal suspended from a clasp bearing the words "U.S. Marine Corps". The clasp was eliminated after 1935 and the medal has remained unchanged in appearance since that time. Enlistment bars, showing each honorable period of service, were used until 1953 when the Marine Corps adopted service stars to denote additional awards of the Good Conduct Medal.

National Defense Service Medal

National Defense Service Medal

Awarded to anyone who serves on active duty in the United States military during a designated time period. In the fifty years since the creation of the National Defense Service Medal, it has been authorized for the following time periods; June 27, 1950 to July 27, 1954 for service during the Korean War; January 1, 1961 to August 14, 1974 for service during the Vietnam War; August 2, 1990 to November 30, 1995 for service during the Gulf War; September 11, 2001 to a date yet-to-be-determined for service during the War on Terrorism. For service in the Gulf War and War on Terrorism, it is also authorized for members of the military reserve provided they are a "military reservist in good standing." The National Defense Service Medal is further authorized to students at the service academies, but is not granted to discharged or retired veterans who did not serve in one of the above time periods. The decoration is also not authorized to members of the inactive reserve. The award was intended to be a "blanket campaign medal" issued to any member of the United States military who served in a designated time period of which a "national emergency" had been declared. As of 2005, it is the oldest service medal which is still issued to the active military.

Global War on Terrorism Service Medal

Global War on Terrorism Service Medal

Authorized for service members participating in or serving in support of Global War on Terrorism operations on or after Sept.11, 2001, and to a future date to be determined. Initial award of the service medal is limited to airport security operations (from September 27, 2001, until May 31, 2002) and to service members who support Operations Enduring Freedom, Noble Eagle, and Iraqi Freedom. Each combatant commander has the authority to approve award of the service medal for units and personnel deployed to their theater of operations. Special criteria: Must have performed in a designated anti-terrorism operation for a period of either 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days of duty. For those who were engaged in combat, killed, or wounded in the line of the duty the time requirement is waived.

Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal

Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal

Authorized for service members deployed overseas for service in the Global War on Terrorism operations on or after September 11, 2001, and to a future date to be determined. Initial award of the expeditionary medal is limited to personnel deployed abroad in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The area of eligibility encompasses the United States Central Command area (less the lower Horn of Africa); Middle East; eastern Turkey; Philippines; Diego Garcia; and all air spaces above the land and adjacent water areas. Special criteria: Must have performed in a designated anti-terrorism operation for a period of either 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days of duty. For those who were engaged in combat, killed, or wounded in the line of the duty the time requirement is waived.

Ribbons

Combat Action Ribbon

Combat Action Ribbon

Awarded principally to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps service members in any grade including and below that of a Captain in the Navy (or Colonel in the Marine Corps) who have actively participated in bona-fide ground or naval surface combat with hostile enemy forces. Such performance under enemy fire must be deemed "honorable and satisfactory" which excludes the award to those who show cowardice in the face of an enemy or retreat without cause. U.S. Army personnel who earned the Combat Infantryman Badge or Combat Medical Badge while a member of the Army may be authorized to wear the Combat Action Ribbon upon application to the Department of the Navy. The Combat Action Ribbon is also awarded to members of the United States Coast Guard when operating under the control of the Navy. The Combat Action Ribbon was first created in February 1969 with retroactive presentation to 1961-03-01. On 1999-10-05, by Presidential Order of Bill Clinton, the retroactive effective date of the Combat Action Ribbon was changed to 1941-12-07 which was the entry date of the United States of America into the Second World War. Additional decorations of the Combat Action Ribbon are denoted by gold and silver award stars.

Navy Unit Citation

Navy Unit Commendation

Awarded by the Secretary to any ship, aircraft, detachment, or other unit of the U.S. Navy or Marine Corps which has since December 6, 1941 (one day prior to the Japanese attack on the U.S. forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii) distinguished itself in action against the enemy with outstanding heroism not sufficient to justify award of the Navy Presidential Unit Citation. It is also awarded for non-combat service, in support of military operations, which was outstanding when compared to other units or organizations performing similar service. The Navy Unit Commendation was established by order of the Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal on December 18, 1944.

Presidental Unit Citation

Presidental Unit Citation

Awarded to units of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps and allies for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy on or after December 7, 1941 (marking the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entrance into World War II). The unit must display such gallantry, determination, and esprit de corps in accomplishing its mission under extremely difficult and hazardous conditions so as to set it apart from and above other units participating in the same campaign. The award is the unit equivalent of a Navy Cross Medal and was established on February 6, 1942. To distinguish between the two versions of the Presidential Unit Citation (The Army/Air Force versions versus the Navy version), the Navy version is typically referred to as the Navy and Marine Corps Presidential Unit Citation while the Army and Air Force refer to the decoration simply as the Presidential Unit Citation.

Sea Service Deployment

Sea Service Deployment

Awarded to any member of the U.S. Navy or Marine Corps assigned to a Naval Afloat Command and who performs 90 or more consecutive days of a seaward deployment within a one-year period. After 1999, for those service members stationed on U.S. vessels home-ported in foreign ports (such as Yokosuka, Japan), the Navy & Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon is also authorized for one year of foreign duty and may be awarded simultaneously with the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. The Sea Service Deployment Ribbon was established in May 1980 and retroactively authorized to August 1974.

Badges

Expert Shooting Badge

Expert Shooting Badge

Marine Corps weapons qualification badges are obtained after personnel obtain a passing score. Passing scores fall into one of three ranges - 190 to 209 for "marksman," 210 to 219 for "sharpshooter," and 220 to 250 for "expert" - and qualifying Marines receive a specific weapons qualification badge depending on the score obtained. Once a qualification has been obtained, and the weapons qualification badge issued, the badge may be worn for the remainder of a military career, unless a different level of qualification - be it either higher or lower - is achieved. Typically, enlisted personnel up to the rank of staff sergeant, and officers up to the rank of captain, re-qualify with the rifle annually. A Marine's most recent qualification score determines the badge that is worn. If a Marine achieves the score of "expert" multiple times in his or her career, an additional "rung" may be added to the badge denoting the number of awards earned. Marine Corps weapons qualification badges are suspended beneath a bar indicating the type of weapon and qualification level earned. The suspended badge varies in appearance, depending on which weapon qualification has been obtained. Because of the Marine Corps policy "Every Marine a Rifleman," Marine recruits cannot exit Initial Recruit Training (or The Basic School for Officers) until a qualification of at least "marksman" has been obtained.

Chevrons

Sergeant Chevron

Sergeant Chevron

The Marine NCO, the Marine Non-Commissioned Officer. Tales of their combat exploits have become the stuff of legend. NCOs are the Corporals and Sergeants responsible for the lives of their men in combat. They must be leaders of men, but also much more. They carry with them the unbroken traditions of duty and dedication to their assigned mission. Their creed need not be lengthy. It is short, succinct, and to the point:

I am an NCO dedicated to training new Marines and influencing the old. I am forever conscious of each Marine under my charge, and by example will inspire him to the highest standards possible. I will strive to be patient, understanding, just, and firm. I will commend the deserving and encourage the wayward.

I will never forget that I am responsible to my Commanding Officer for the morale, discipline, and efficiency of my men. Their performance will reflect an image of me.

NCO Creed: (excerpt from Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines, copyright 2001 Marion F. Sturkey)
