Hey everyone, my name is Jared and I’m currently an active-duty Army officer in command of an Engineer Dive Detachment at Langley-Eustis, Virginia. I graduated from ERAU with a BS in Aerospace Engineering and from UF with a MS in Aerospace Engineering. Like a lot of us, I earned my PPL a few years ago and have been building hours in preparation of applying for a UPT slot in the Air National Guard, (just got to 100 hours!). PCSM – 99, AFOQT (Pilot) – 96.

Recreationally, I am a habitual tinkerer. Most of my time is spent in the garage working on motorcycles, cars, electronics, or around the house on projects. What is left of my personal and professional time is spent underwater around the world, so please reach out if you’re interested in learning more about the diving community!

I have just started the application process but my goal is to fly Fighters in the Air National Guard.

@SLAP thanks for the reply! It’s inspiring to read your accomplishments and accolades despite coming from FSU (a true underdog).

We perform reconnaissance, body recovery, and underwater construction primarily, although we get utilized for almost anything that involves water.
