| Among the many policies that I helped create and shape was the evacuation protocol for the mall property. I created a mapped diagram with a step-by-step instruction such that the dispatcher on duty could direct personnel as needed for each stage of the evacuation. Durring a small fire at this property, we were able to completely evacuate the property in less than 10 minutes, faster than the local Fire Department's standards. In addition to this, I helped create and implement databases for tracking violators and criminals caught at our mall. |

| As a communications crewman in the US Army stationed in Korea, my nerves were tested to their limits. Navigating slick roads in convoy and assembling radio transmitters atop snow-capped mountains pretty much covered my experience in South Korea. However, I did do a few missions where we were to test the security of the communications sites, and had to do mock-assaults to see just how far a small number of strike-troops could get. It was sobering to realize that our security needed much improvement, as only a band of 6 people (including myself) were able to assault an entire communications site, despite the patrolling guards and the greater number of armed (but sleeping) soldiers. |
| This is a picture of a typical ascent road looking down the hood of my HUMVEE, modified with a radio communications shelter in the back and dragging a heavy diesel power generator. A couple vehicles were lost over the side of such mountains as these while I was stationed there, |
| literally dragged off the mountain by the heavy generators that would some time slip sideways on their own. There was a safety policy change while I was stationed in Korea due to these unfortunate accidents, such that we were required to NOT wear our seatbelts when ascending or descending mountains, such that we could 'bail out' if we lost control of the vehicle. The HUMVEE is, however, a very powerful and reliable vehicle. It is simply a matter of that the generators had much poorer tires than the HUMVEE's that pulled them. The tires lacked good traction, and thus, accidents happen. |
