“Having served since 1980 in a multitude of positions and ranks, in many units and many environments, my service has allowed me a wide spectrum of experiences. In addition to working on a team in a country with many indigenous peoples and working in field grade staff positions in Special Operations in the Pacific theater and Centcom Regions it has been an honor to serve our country. My career has been and continues to be an amazing challenge operating in unconventional environments in unconventional manners. The opportunity to command, manage, and execute effectively at many levels has allowed insights not accessible in civilian life. Working with some of the most dedicated and professional trainers and warriors in the world has been an incredible journey and an amazing exercise of assimilation into the business of life.

Having attended Infantry basic training in 1980 then on to Ranger school in 1982 and upon graduation reporting to Airborne course within 16 hours put me in a tempo to appreciate the effectiveness of our elite forces. Graduating Infantry Officer basic course led me soon to seek and complete the Special Forces Qualification course which allowed me the privilege to serve our country’s national interests in several capacities across the globe. Starting as a Private E-1 to Sgt E-5 then on to officer school and 19 plus years as an officer it has been an amazing adventure which continues to offer unique and diverse insights.
My respect and greatest admiration for all my brothers and sisters with whom I serve. No greater people exist than those willing to sacrifice their existence for the safety and security of those they love ,respect and infinitely more that they will never even meet.”  – C.W.
