Learn more about Aveon's job as an Aviation Operation Specialist and how his experience will help his future prospects.

Army specialist, Aveon Bland

I'm specialist Aveon Bland and I'm a 15 papa, which is an aviation operations specialist.

Army specialist, Aveon Bland

I've been in the Army Reserve for five years. Typically, what a 15 papa will do is, we'll work a lot with computers. We'll maintain any type of flight plans, send that over to base operations to make sure that the pilots and the aircraft can get in the air.

Because of my MOS I'm able to talk with someone who may be a colleague, efficiently, as well as someone who may be a vice president. I will say it's really changed me as an individual. It's made me more focused. I'm more of a self-starter.

Army specialist, Aveon Bland

I have a lot more initiative than I ever would have had.

Army specialist, Aveon Bland

It's easy to manage the bridge between my Army life and my civilian life because of the skills I've learned while being in the Army Reserve.

Army specialist, Aveon Bland

I think I'll be in the Army Reserve until I'm at least a one star general. That's a long time.
