I am now working at the US Army Missile Test Range on the island of Kwajalein in The Republic of the Marshall Islands. My living arrangements on Kwajalein compared to Guangzhou has been greatly reduced. I have a small kitchenette, living room, bedroom and bath.

After working on Kwajalein for two years and eight months, my time here is done. I started working as a Custodial Lead in Nov. 2017 for Chugach. In Feb. 2018 the contract changed with IAP taking over. Although my title stayed the same as Custodial Lead, my pay went up a bit and I was the acting Custodial Supervisor. In Sept. 2018 the contract changed again to DynCorp taking over. No pay raise for me with the new company, however my official title changed to Maintenance Control Specialist and I still worked as the acting Custodial Supervisor. My hours also increased as more projects were assigned for custodial to take care of. In March Marshall Islands - Kwajalein - Nov. 20172019 a Custodial Supervisor was hired. I had to instruct her in all the in's and out's of supervising on Kwaj! My titles stayed the same and my hours increased to the point that I was working between 80 to 90 + hours per week. In July 2020 my job on Kwajalein came to an end. In the two years and eight months working on Kwaj, I actual worked about four years worth of hours if counted on a 40 hour work week.
