Master Chief Electronics Technician Jason Avin

摘要

I was born on the crest of a wave in Queens, New York, and rocked in the cradle of the deep. Some people believe I was actually born a chief petty officer, but it was my family upbringing in Levittown, N.Y., that developed me into the person I am today. After high school, I studied at the State University of New York at Buffalo for a while and decided that growing up a little in the military was the way forward for me. Since joining the Navy, I've gone back to college and completed my major in Workforce Education and Development from Southern Illinois University and graduated from the Senior Enlisted Academy. I came into the Navy as an electronics technician [ET], the nuclear type originally. Let's just say that 'Nuke School' is as hard as I had heard and it didn't go very well for me. I was converted into a communications ET and went to 'C school to be a technician.
