My name is Valentino Espinoza. I am a Second Class Petty Officer in the United States Navy. My job title is an electronic warfare specialist. I'm stationed onboard the U.S.S. Inchon in Ingleside, Texas.

I've been in the Navy approximately five years. I started out in Boot Camp, of course. From there I went to Pensacola, Florida. I went through A and C School.

My A School consisted of working with electrons, Ohms law, frameworks, which is going to include your electromagnetic spectrum, anything dealing with electronics basically is what my A School covered. When I went on to C School, I learned about how exactly the equipment worked and how the brains of the computer worked and if something breaks, how I have to fix it. A School, it was really just your basic framework really.

I stayed in Pensacola for another year. I did some master at arms work there, just pretty much basic security. From there I went to Charleston, South Carolina. I was stationed aboard the U.S.S. Santa Barbara. Did a cruise. Went over to the Mediterranean, the Gulf, the Arabian Gulf. Did some exercises over there. Came back home, decommissioned the ship and here I am in Ingleside, Texas.

That's five years.
