My name is Thomas Shultz and I am a navy veteran and I was stationed in Pearl Harbor, HI andCoronado, CA with five deployments between these two duty stations. I worked as anundesignated seaman for two years and after that I was able to choose an actual rate whichwas Retail Specialist. As a retail specialist my role was to order stock from vendors, onload thestock to the ship with little to no discrepancies, supervise over the ship store, vending machines,laundry, and the barbershop. I was an inspiration to my other seven siblings when going into themilitary, they followed in my footsteps. After my time in the military I decided that I enjoyedworking with my hands and helping people so I went to a trade school for HVAC and I excelledin it. I was an honor roll student and had perfect attendance, I also volunteered as a student ambassador and I helped students and teachers with anything they needed.
