Over time, I advanced into the role of Crew Chief and later became a Maintenance Controller for the platform, supervising flight operations, maintenance schedules, and safety readiness. Those 13 years of service instilled in me a strong sense of leadership, accountability, and technical expertise. After retiring from the military, I pursued higher education, completing my Associate\u2019s Degree in Information Technology \u2013 Network Management. I am now enrolled at Old Dominion University, where I am working toward my Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Cybersecurity. My goal is to build on my technical foundation and military experience to contribute to the field of cybersecurity in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, my name is Justin Barfield.
