About Allan
3 years as an AT onboard USS Kittyhawk, AIMD division, working radios and navigation equipment. Then I separated and took a temp position at Augusta Westland in philadelphia doing communication package installations. I then got a call and jumped on the opportunity to take a position with Lockheed Martin at the skunkworks in Palmdale CA working with the USAF doing testing and telemetry on the F117 Nighthawk stealth platform, then as that program wrapped up, I took a position as an engineering tech gs-802-11 with the department of the treasury at the U.S. mint back in philadelphia, working on robotics for packaging of annual numismatic coin sets. Throughout my career I've always wanted to work on space systems, and one day find myself at nasa. I felt that experience in comms and navigation with the navy, telemetry on a stealth platform with Lockheed, and robotics and automation with the treasury would be a perfect fit. yet, here it is going on 10 years since my discharge from the service and I'm beginning to feel stagnant. Any thoughts and consideration is appreciated.
