Military Education: Leadership Courses from Primary to the Advanced; Dental Specialist Course; Dental Hygiene Course; Instructor/Writer Course(basic and advanced); Anti-terrorist/Force Protection Certification Course. These are just to name a few.
Civilian education: earned 84 semester hrs in General studies and is currently working on a BA degree in Health Education.

I was born in New Orleans, La to parents who are both natives of Mobile. Due to the large number of friends and family here in Mobile, my transition has been a smooth and welcomed one.

Time management for setting goals
Randy Pausch
According to Mr Pausch, there are three ways to effectively manage our time. They are setting goals, prioritizing, and proper planning.
When setting goals, you must first have the experience that comes from or grows out of having good judgement. We are not born with having the ability of making good and sound decisions,but we learn from our bad experiences.
When prioritizing, you must first began with a daily, weekly and even a monthly to-do-list. Although that falls under planning,put all your to dos in order of importance. That is an important step in saving valuable time.
The next thing is planning. There is the saying,, "Failing to plan is planning to fail. Plan each day carefully and only change a plan if you have a plan to change
