Howdy Ags! Class of '18

I'm currently a Marine Reservist, serving as a Recon Sniper, and living in San Antonio. I graduated with a B.S. in Motor Behavior and recently began an M.S. in Athletic Training at UIW. However, I've realized the field isn't quite what I envisioned.

My initial draw to athletic training was the opportunity to help military personnel through orthopedic interventions, but I've come to understand that it was the "emergency response" aspect that truly captured my interest.

As a "rifleman" and a former auto mechanic, I thrive on working with my hands and troubleshooting complex systems. I've always been fascinated by machining (CNC, 3D printing, etc.) and am now eager to pursue a career in this field. Gunsmithing is also a personal goal if I pursue this route.

My wife is an attorney based in San Antonio, so remaining local for work is important, though I'm open to relocating temporarily for training opportunities.

If anyone has advice, resources, or connections in machining or related fields, I'd greatly appreciate it. Feel free to reach outGig 'em!

Get to Aggie Park on Mondays for the SA Aggie Club lunch. Newbies get to be introduced & you can tell everyone your background & that you're looking for a job.

Good luck!

You might look into biomedical/biomechanics fields of car crashes. Might cross paths with your wife's work if she is in that field.

Biodynamic Research Corporation is a large office out of SA in this industry. You might see what they are looking for. You most likely would need a Biomedical Engineering degree. It can be good hands on work. Good luck.

If machining/manufacturing are interesting to you, and you like firearms - you could reach out to SOLGW in SA and see what they have available?

Boeing would be a good option since they have a pretty big machine shop and some $ invested in it.
