Background

About Christopher Ryan

I stated working at eighteen years old at a local pizzeria diner as a delivery driver where I quickly moved up to prep chef then eventually line cook. Duties included ensuring a clean environment, managing and placing shipments of food, as well as opening and closing the restaurant. I continued working there until I enlisted into the United States Army at nineteen. I completed my basic and advanced individual training at Fort Benning, Georgia in August of 2019. I then graduated Airborne School in November of 2019. I was stationed in Fort Bragg North Carolina where I trained with a reconnaissance unit as a mortarman. During my time at Fort Bragg I was selected for specialized training with various types of radios and communication systems. I served as my sections primary radio telephone operator (RTO) where I was responsible for, and maintained all of the radio systems. I was granted a secret security clearance, for handling sensitive encrypted communications. I also completed a forty hour combat lifesavers course, where I learned how to effectively render aid in a high stress environment. I executed in the rapid mobilization of personnel and equipment upon a short notice recall, deploying within eighteen hours overseas. I am highly trained in firearms handling and safety.
