MOS 91-C (Utility Repair. A/C and Heater Mechanic)

Primarily responsible for repairing and maintaining military-mechanical equipment, including but not limited to A/C, heaters, generators, engines, water and fuel pumps, and military vehicles.

Other activities included soldering, installation of motors, electrical harness, cables, replacements of chassis’ components, repair of geared sections, research and ordering of needed parts, use of heavy equipment, power and hand tools, measuring instruments, use of plans, diagrams, sketches, and other data/media to outline the work to be performed.
As part of my daily duties, I safely operated a number of military heavy equipment and motor vehicles.
I was part of a team of Engineers responsible for the installation and setting of mobile hospitals, which included the placement and setting of A/C units, power lines, generators, water lines, etc.
Responsible for maintaining several refrigeration units, as laboratory and pharmacy conexes, among others, saving over $250,000.00. I also volunteered as construction manager by directing several small construction projects inside and outside a military hospital, including access ramps, recreation areas, placement of security ‘T-Walls’, an X-Ray room, an Optometry room, among other projects. This service saved several thousands of dollars.
Performed duties as supply specialist, supporting and maintaining control of the hospital’s pharmacy inventory, and retrieving medical shipments from inside and outside the FOB.

During my time at Full Sail, I had the opportunity to work on several projects at a professional level, performing different roles, from Game Design, Game Documentation to 2D and 3D Asset Creation. 
I actively participated in the development of various video games, forming part of a fine team of developers from various disciplines, and directly supporting the production pipeline.

        Aarnel is one of the most talented artists that I have every had the privilege to work with and he has personally helped me achieve more with my time at Full Sail than anyone else. As the Art Producer of over 30+ artists, I have had to work with a wide range of talented individuals of all specialties and Aarnel is one of the rare few that I can rely on to do anything and everything I throw his way. From 2D art to 3D character, environment, or prop modeling, texturing, and even animations,  Aarnel is the one I turn to when I have a high priority asset that needs to be completed at an accelerated pace. I recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable artist that knows all the ends and outs of what it takes to create art for a video game.

        Aarnel is a diligent worker, helps others in need, and is very proficient. It was a pleasure working with him on projects.
