Directorate of Emergency Services, Fire Prevention and Protection Division.
I proudly protected our AOG soldier and civilian communities at the
Aberdeen and Edgewood Areas with top notch fire suppression and fire
prevention services.
My Federal career began in March 1983 and ended in December 2011. I
received the Department of Army Civilian Achievement Award twice, several
suggestion awards and many letters of appreciation. I think that my largest
contribution was the development, design and maintenance of our APG
Aberdeen and Edgewood Area Map Books for emergency responses and the
establishment of pre-fire plans for our high-hazard structures. I continued to
work on those initiatives until the day of my retirement.
I am David L. Viets, a 20-year Veteran of the United States Air Force and a
retiree from the Department of Defense. I retired from the Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA) in Washington, D.C., in 2008 after 22 years. I
served as a human resource manager and training officer for the Defense
Attaché System. I developed training schedules for Defense attachés who
would be stationed at U.S. embassies throughout the world. I provided
briefings to top management of DIA, the Defense Department, the Military
Services, and other agencies. I coordinated language training for the Attaché s
and their staffs.
Before my civilian career at DIA, I served as a training NCO in the Air Force.
My assignments included tours at Michigan Air Force Station; Hamilton AFB,
California; McChord Air Force Base, Washington; and Griffiss Air Force
Base, New York. At each of these assignments I ensured that Air Force
personnel were current on their on-the-job training and physical training, and
that they were in compliance with physical standards. From 1970 to 1971, I
served at Phu Cat Air Base in Vietnam. I am a proud member of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, and American Veterans. My education
includes: Master of Arts in Management and Supervision from Central
Michigan University; Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from
New School, Rome, New York, and an Associate of Applied Science in
Instructional Methodology from the Community College of the Air Force.
I am Charles Ware and I served in the Department of Defense, Army Materiel
Command, Harry Diamond Laboratories. I was a Nuclear Reactor Operator
engaged in testing electronic components and circuits for radiation hardening.
