By Chris Garrett

Married with two boys ages 8 and 15.

20 year veteran of the U.S. Navy.

Visited 18 different countries and have circumnavigated the globe at least once.

I have lived in Illinois, Washington, Florida, Guam, California, and Virginia.

Have a passion for aviation, and hope to possess a private pilots license.

I try to spend as much time with my kids as possible.

I enjoy gaming on PS3, and flying on flight simulator.

I enjoy watching Football and NASCAR.

Like I mentioned before I have an active interest in aviation, whether it be fixed wing or rotary(helicopters). I use to work as a mechanic on both in the Navy.

I also enjoy taking things apart and finding out how they work.

I have an interest in computers and computer networking.

Short Term Goal: graduate with Associates from GermannaCommunity College

Long Term Goals: graduate with a Bachelors degree in

Information Technology.Employment with the Federal Government at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren as a Computer Specialist.Visit Bohol, Philippines.Retire comfortably.

This will be my second year enrolled as an IT student.

I don’t have an interest in one area of IT, I enjoy the creativity of Web Design, the structure of System Analysis, and the new technology of Network Security.

This is an easy one for me, I have worked most of my life in an environment which if the team does not succeed, then you do not succeed. It’s a way of life in the Armed Forces when you have so many working toward one goal.

I have both led and been a part of team, and there is no greater satisfaction than to see your team recognized for their success.

I have worked with Microsoft Office Power Point to create formal and informal presentations.

I have never created an online presentation, but I am willing to learn.

I believe my greatest talent is the will to learn, I try to read everything I get my hands on and to learn as much as I can. “A person who has given up the will to learn has given up the will to live”.

I have experience in several different fields both technical and managerial.
