Knowledge Skills and Abilities explained:

My Ability to perform the work of a mechanic/repair technician with normal

supervision has been demonstrated throughout my employment history. With

special emphasis on my Marine Corps Career. During my first three years I

received the most prestigious position an Amphibious Assault Vehicle Repair

Technician can receive. I became the Crew Chief of an AAV-R7a1, which is

the company's only AAV recovery vehicle.

Use of Power Tools and Hand Tools: During my 8 years performing

professional mechanical repairs I have been challenged to use an assortment

of different tools for many different tasks. I have become very proficient

at determining and using the right tool for the job.

Ability to Interpret and Problem Solve: Much of the population does not

have a working knowledge of mechanics. During my time interacting with

customers I have learned a lot of different "lingo" people use to describe

a problem they are having with their equipment. With this understanding I

am then able to use their initial complaint to direct my troubleshooting

processes in order to make the most efficient use of my time.

Ability to Communicate Effectively: I am able to convey technical

information in a way that gives the customer a confident understanding. My

hope is to inform the customer of why their particular problem occurred and

what they can do to prevent future mishaps from happening.

Ability to Learn, Adapt and Overcome: When presented with a challenge I

like to find out as much as I can about it whenever possible. I do not like

to rest until I have learned enough in order to find a solution.

Computer Navigation: I am very familiar with how to work a computer. They

have been around me from the third grade until today. I have also attended

2007 Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint courses from North Carolina

Community College on board base at Camp Lejeune.

Hydraulic Systems: I spent 8 years troubleshooting various hydraulic

systems and have replaced or repaired countless seals, valves, lines,

switches and solenoids. Troubleshooting steering systems, hydraulic brake

systems, Winch systems, crane systems, forklifts, fuel systems, coolant

systems, basically if the liquid won't compress, I can find a way to fix

it.

Diagnose Engine Symptoms: I became proficient enough with Amphibious

Assault Vehicles that I could look, listen and smell the vehicle running

and tell if it had a problem. A common example was a bad turbo. The crewmen

would run their tracks hard for hours then turn the vehicle off as soon as

they came to a stop. This burnt the oil on the turbo shaft and eventually

destroyed the turbo; easily detected with the naked ear. Burning coolant,

oil or diesel are other easy ones to see or smell. If the exhaust is white,

burns your nose slightly and smells sweet then more than likely you are

burning coolant for one reason or another. My work with RWC International

Dealership is another example, we had to diagnose anything from leaks to

e.g.r. coolers to broken valve trains to worn camshafts.

Suspension & Steering Systems: The AAV has an overhauled suspension

referred to as the RAM/RS which means Reliability, Availability,

Maintainability /Rebuild to Standard. Basically they raised the final

drive, swapped out the engine and gave it an extra roller wheel to increase

land performance. I have worked on tracked suspension for 5 years and

automotive suspension 3 years. I am familiar with suspension / steering

system components and operations.

Preventative Maintenance: I routinely inspected and performed preventative

maintenance on AAV's and other various medium, heavy duty and industrial

equipment including, but not limited to, greasing, changing hydraulic,

engine, transmission and bearing oils and filters, changing belts, chains,

swapping track pads, fuel filters, etc. I also ensured the schedule

calendar was updated accordingly and completed all appropriate repair order

paperwork.

Climate Control Systems: . I am E.P.A. certified Type I and II and have

more than 3 years of experience working with various HVAC systems. I am

familiar with the Diagnostics and service in Recovering refrigerant,

charging nitrogen, evacuating the system, charging the system, blown

motors, fuses, stuck doors, bad filters, bad wiring, receiver dryers,

accumulators, pressure switches, leaks, undercharged, overcharged,

compressor failures, orifice tubes, thermal expansion valves and tar tape.

During my time working as a work study with the HVAC guys at the Phoenix

Veterans Administration Hospital I was able to experience and perform many

common mechanical tasks and preventative maintenance associated with

heating, ventilation and air conditioning. I also demonstrated my

experience with HVAC preventative maintenance and recharging systems at

Veolia Transportation Public Transit Buses and on customer vehicles at RWC

International Dealership.

Electrical: I have a broad understanding of many electrical schematics and

symbols. Just about everything nowadays is run or controlled electrically

and you will not be able to efficiently correct an electrical problem

without understanding the circuit and reading the diagrams. Thank god for

Schematics and troubleshooting guides. Without them electrical problems can

turn into timely nightmares. My last year in the Marine Corps was spent

diagnosing and repairing AAV electrical systems and components. Utilizing

the technical schematics and flow charts was key in order to find the

effected component, components or circuit card in order to repair the

issue. It was my responsibility to find the most cost effective means of

repairing the problem.

Fuel Systems: I am familiar with fuel systems. Most common problems I am

familiar with are air in the fuel, contaminated fuel, fuel leaks, bad pump

and faulty wiring. The AAV often had fuel problems in Iraq. Vibrations

would cause micro fractures in the fuel tank which had to be welded. In

order to weld on a fuel tank you first have to drain the tank, disconnect

and remove from vehicle, find the crack then fill the tank with an inert

gas or water. Replacing fuel pumps and correcting electrical issues within

the fuel system were also commonplace on the AAV also. I also have 6 months

experience with natural gas fuel systems. While working at Veolia it was

common to find a bad or leaking fuel vaporizer.

Perform Work Safely: Work hazards exist on every jobsite. I have attended

many weekly safety meetings/classes and am comfortably versed in the safe

working practices for myself and that of others. I am knowledgeable of

safety practices, equipment, safety manuals, lockout procedures, fresh air

supply masks and respirators, fall protection, hard hat, steel-toed boots,

hand and face protection. I am trained in the proper methods to handle

corrosives and oxidizers or to refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets

(MSDS) whenever a new product is introduced into the workplace.

Manufacturing Hydraulic Lines: I routinely manufactured different lengths

and sizes of hydraulic hoses / lines / fittings in order to prevent the

failure of hoses that have shown signs of deterioration / heat damage.

Timing adjustments and tune-ups: I attended several courses on how to time

and tune up different manufacturer's engines. As long as I have the timing

sequence and thicknesses or shims the rest is clockwork.

Windshield Repair Kit: Veolia transportation would save money by

purchasing window repair kits instead of new windshields. It was my

responsibility to determine if the repair can be made or not and then

perform the repair.

Tent and Graffiti Guard Installment: I routinely replaced tent and graffiti

guard on public transportation vehicles for 6 months.

Efficient with Time: I have routinely worked on several jobs at once in

order to maintain a high level of productivity. Whenever one task involves

waiting I move on to the next in order to mitigate downtime.

Knowledge of Multiplex Systems: Newflyer and NABI busses utilize multiplex

systems in order to reduce manufacturing costs and designed them to work

very well with those who understand how to interpret the diagnostic lights.

Most electrical problems can be quickly isolated by utilizing the multiplex

troubleshooting lights. All Internationals are now multiplexed, It is very

hard if not impossible to find the problem without troubleshooting

software. The software Diamond Logic Builder and Servicemaxx was essential

when performing electrical repairs of the multiplexed systems.

Welding: The AAV-R7a1 is required to have a certified welder assigned to

it. During my first deployment I was able to practice stick and MIG welding

with my assigned welder. I also repaired and manufactured mufflers, heat

shields and guards for the pumps while working at Rain for Rent. I have a

total of 6 to 8 months basic experience / practice with stick and MIG

welding.

Hydraulic Brake Systems- Replacing drum and disc brakes, wheel seals,

bleeding brakes, replacing master cylinders, hardlines, fittings,

rebuilding calipers, turning drums and rotors, I have had the opportunity

to work on several different hydraulic brake systems. From Ford trucks to

Honda cars to city buses to medium duty trucks to big rigs. It's basically

all the same.

Air Brake Systems- Replacing drum and disc brakes, wheel seals, ABS

valves, relay valves, air lines, fittings, foot valves, air dryers, leaking

brake canisters, adjusting brake pushrod travel, identifying leaks, I have

Attended classes on air systems and worked routine maintenance on customer

and public transportation air systems and air brakes. I routinely

inspected, troubleshot and replaced brake components as needed.

Alternative fuel systems LNG, CNG- Worked routine maintenance on

alternative fuel systems. Anything from refueling a bus, exchanging bad

vaporizers, adjusting valves, replacing lines to scheduled tune ups.

Skilled mobile crane and winch operator: Attended technical training

courses and have accumulated 8 years experience lifting items with a 3 ton,

10 ton, 15 ton, 20 ton crane, and 32000 pound winch. During my first

deployment it was my responsibility to ensure the replacement of major

engine components would be completed within 48 hours or sooner. I also had

to keep track of the vehicles entire SL-3 inventory and ensure the work

space was free of unsafe acts and circumstances. I routinely used cranes to

lift the vehicle plenums, water tower, power takeoff unit, transmission,

engine or pack assemblies and final drives.

Knowledgeable and experienced Landscaper: During High School I would work

with my brother planting gardens, trees, etc. designing gardens, installing

sandstone pathways, regular yard work such as trimming bushes, grass,

trees, ditches, etc.

Knowledgeable and experienced Roofer: During High School, after hurricane

Katrina and the Marine Corps I would help my sister's husband find houses,

negotiate repairs and repair customer roofs. My father taught me how to

roof.

Experienced Carpenter/Frame worker: During and after High School I would

help my sister's husband frame new houses. I have worked extensively with

many woodworking tools. Earlier less professional experience is with my

father growing up.

My ability to dismantle, repair, fabricate, adjust, install, and maintain

heavy duty industrial equipment is extensive, and has been exercised

accurately over my 8 year working history.

Interpret instructions, specifications, schematics and engineered drawings.

My ability to interpret instructions and specifications, including

schematics and engineering drawings is extensive, and has been exercised

greatly and accurately over my 8 year working history.

Soldering and Brazing: I performed routine soldering of electrical wiring

or circuitry throughout my mechanical career, whenever a wire was cut it

was soldered or butt connected and heat shrinked back together, I also know

how to use flux in order to braze copper pipes together.

Rigging and Hand Signals: The Marine corps taught me how to use ground

guides for safe vehicle movements in high traffic areas and the basics of

block and tackle systems. The AAV-R7a1 came equipped with a 6000 pound

crane and 23000 pound winch which had to be operated safely. How do you use

a 23,000 pound winch to pull out a 60,000 pound vehicle that is stuck in 5

feet of mud? Use a 3:1 ratio block and tackle system.

I routinely made sure repairs complied with technical manuals

specifications by often double checking written down facts and following up

with the repairs i made to ensure quality performance.

I cleaned parts and equipment as needed or delegated responsibility until

it was done as scheduled in the preventative maintenance schedule. I

installed new equipment and relocated existing equipment as necessary,

making sure these duties were scheduled and preformed without error or loss

to production time.

I routinely performed preventative maintenance inspections which have

ranged anywhere from 23 point to 300 point inspections depending on the

vehicle and type of inspection.
