TWI PROFILE: MAJ KARLETON DEMPSEY, CSC

摘要

When it came time for then-CPT Karleton Dempsey, senior air defense artillery (ADA) officer, to choose a functional area for his career, he saw "the writing on the wall." He wanted a challenging career path but was uncertain what he could do with an ADA background after he left the Army. After researching the Army's various functional areas, Dempsey finally found the right fit. "I heard a lot of good things about the Acquisition Corps, and as I read up on it more and more, I knew that acquisition was really what I wanted to do because of the challenge I believed it would bring," he said. "Being able to be at the forefront of designing the goods and materials that support our troops very much appealed to me, and I heard that the acquisition career field held great potential for transitioning into a civilian job once I retired."
