SEC. 1 Statement of Service
Subject's own statement, entered verbatim I served 14 years as a defense logistics officer, closing my career as the supply chain lead for a 3,200-person installation in Norfolk. I now apply the same methods to civilian defense contracting: inventory accuracy, contract oversight, and moving material on schedule. My last audit closed with zero findings, which I am told is rare enough to mention.
