Otilio Nunez Vargas Ewa Beach, HI

Aloha, I am a 20 years AM rating retired Navy veteran as of January this year, interested in guidance for an entry level job opportunity in cyber security. While anticipating this transition and looking for a career change, I completed and received my CS degree from an accredited college just a few months ago. Now I am currently working along with the O2O program (Onward to Opportunity) to help me get the necessary certifications. I prefer employment that will allow me to grow in this field as I acquire the necessary qualifications.
I am located here in Oahu and prefer to stay local but open to consider an overseas location if offered. Your advise is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Timothy Krambs Olympia, WA

Hello ACP advisornet team!

I am hungry to excel within the Seattle tech space, finishing over 24 years of combined military service as a commissioned Army Officer and Enlisted Soldier.

After 9/11, I had the honor and privilege to successfully serve in several key leadership positions within Army aviation, including technical program manager of rotary-wing maintenance and operations in high-risk overseas assignments for nearly 9 years. In 2009, I was selected and trained for more diplomatic and executive leadership roles, where I traveled throughout Europe and Eurasia to learn their unique cultures, and understand the political-economic, and military impact of our diplomatic mission from a US embassy perspective within those regions.

I want to use my BS Mechanical Engineering and MA International Security Studies degrees to work Cyber Security and support the Aerospace Defense industry as a program manager.

Would love to connect! Thank you.

Tim
