<description><![CDATA[I was a business major in college and was also in Army ROTC. When I graduated in 1979, I was commissioned into the US Army as and Administrative Officer. At 21, I was assigned to Germany, and thrust into a managerial role, supervising a Word Processing Pool (haha) the awards program, the reproduction room, command publications, the post office, functional files, and suggestion program for a 2,000-member command. I was terrified, but it was a great experience. I was later a Personnel officer (like HR), then a command Protocol officer for Fort Dix, NJ. While in that job I had my second baby, and worked on an MBA at night school. After serving as a company commander, the Army selected me for a second master's degree, this time in journalism. I was then a public affairs officer and communications instructor. All this was very hard to manage with two small children, so I got out of the Army in 1993 as a Major. I stayed home with those two children and had 3 more! After 22 years at home, I returned to the work force as an executive assistant/senior administrative coordinator for an Assoc VP at Texas A&M University 3 years ago. That was quite a time-warp/culture shock! I am so glad I kept up my computer and technical skills. I do not feel overqualified for my job. It is a perfect fit for me in this stage of my life (61). But I do want to keep my mind sharp and give the best I can to this organization, so I've decided to become CAP - qualified. I'm very excited to be back in the "thick" of learning! ]]></description>
