Associates of Arts Career Contributions

 

            
             Over the past ten years I have come to understand the need for a quality education. Enrolling in the University of Phoenix associates of arts program will give me the opportunity to enhance critical skills that are required of me on a daily basis. I have come to realize as a active duty member in the Navy the importance of education not only as a way of contributing to my advancement opportunities in the Navy; but also as a way of preparing myself for the endeavors that will follow upon my retirement from active duty service. I will attempt to demonstrate the impact the degree completion will have on my current career objectives, and how they might impact my future career opportunities.
             Description of Learning.
             My military education started in 1992, with the entrance into recruit training which has otherwise been known as boot camp. This training consisted of a two-month crash course into military life and the responsibilities associated with it. It covered topics such as first aid, safety, personal fitness and conditioning, as well as, personal and community health, basic swimming, fire fighting, and water survival skills. The main objective behind recruit training is to demonstrate general military knowledge and navy protocol. Upon completion of recruit training I attended aviation storekeeper school which provided me training in administration, material control, and supply operations. The information in this course gave me the basic understanding to receive, identify, store, and issue aviation supplies, spare parts, and equipment; maintain stock control records; and conduct inventories. Additional training in receipt control records, record preparation, purchasing, and transportation documentation was also obtained. In 1994 I attended a Naval Aviation Dispersed Technical Publications Librarian course, which gave me a basic understanding of the techniques utilized to effectively maintain a technical publications library.
