In the military, I held subordinate and leadership positions, aiding to my ability to identify and solve issues with any coworker or system that may arise. By working on both sides of that spectrum, I was able to develop new methods of communication and understanding that helped with problem solving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Teamwork<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a member of the military, I learned a lot about working together within a team. Most day to day work involved me working with my direct team and even with other teams too. As a result of having to adapt to various leadership and coworkers, I have gained a specific type of empathy that allows me to mesh well will any eager type of group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Artifacts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!selectors.core.file.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/potts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38088\/2026\/02\/Assignment-4-CYSE301-1.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Assignment-4-CYSE301-1.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-0e683b21-675a-4b5d-84d7-8657f6d927b8\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/potts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38088\/2026\/02\/Assignment-4-CYSE301-1.pdf\">Assignment-4-CYSE301-1<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/potts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38088\/2026\/02\/Assignment-4-CYSE301-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-0e683b21-675a-4b5d-84d7-8657f6d927b8\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"784\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/potts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38088\/2026\/02\/NAM3-1-1024x784.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/potts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38088\/2026\/02\/NAM3-1-1024x784.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/potts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38088\/2026\/02\/NAM3-1-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/potts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38088\/2026\/02\/NAM3-1-768x588.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/potts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38088\/2026\/02\/NAM3-1-1536x1176.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/potts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38088\/2026\/02\/NAM3-1-2048x1568.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Critical Thinking From my time in the military in addition to my college education, I have been able to refine and expand my critical thinking skills.
