“安心在USM”
- 你是谁?? 詹姆斯•福斯特
你有什么背景?? I was born in Biloxi, MS and grew up all over the state. 我毕业于橡树林大学 High School in 1999, while t在这里 I was very involved in band and ended up with a scholarship to JCJC w在这里 I attended a year before deciding to get a technical certificate instead. I got my lineman certification through MGCCC and went to work until 9/11 happened. Soon after I enlisted in the Air Force as Security Forces w在这里 I stayed until Dec 2017. While in the Air Force I was stationed in Georgia, Texas, Colorado, Guam, and Portugal, I also did 3 tours in Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom. 我爱的一个原因 my job in the Air Force was the travel, I have visited 13 different countries and countless small islands in the South Pacific. After getting out I wanted to work with my hands, so I went to Welding school at Tulsa Welding School in Jacksonville, FL. Shortly after graduating I went to work welding until February 2020 when corona virus 关闭了大部分国家. I decided to use my GI Bill to get a degree, growing up around USM and going to baseball games and band concerts 在这里, USM was the obvious 我的选择. I am currently a senior working on my Information Technology degree with a focus on Cybersecurity and Networking.
