Been a while again but for some surprising update.

I dropped out of the BSEE program after a realization about tactical career opportunity and because I could not maintain the BSEE program while I am away in tactical and related trainings for PMC career.

So in Early October I decided to finally stop the BSEE program and prepared myself to travel outside my home country and that is to attend a Private Military Contracting training, and a supposed sniper training but I ended up continuing my scuba diving path instead in replacement for the sniper training.

Back at the Private Military Contracting training although the middle of the training was low morale due to the hardness and lots of mistakes on weapons and CQB, the final mission on hostage extraction was relatively a success.

I now hold an AOW, Nitrox, Deep Specialty, Emergency First Responder, and Rescue Diver certificates and currently looking for the reasonable cost training for Technical Diving and CCR.

Recently I also attended local training in PH on Tactical Combat Casualty Care and I now I officially hold a TCCC qualification. Turns out TCCC is somehow a step above the tactics on PMC training and also a step above the Emergency First Responder training and that is because on TCCC, the combat care provider should be able to neutralize the enemy on contact before administering care and this is amidst adversarial situations . The care provider also has more advanced skills than the typical EFR personnel such as the ability to apply needle decompression on the collapse lung side of the chest, be able to apply effectively the tourniquet amidst heavy gunfire and more.

Next step is Intelligence Cycle Fundamentals program from UK, Technical Diving foundation on Open Circuit and operational CCR.

January I am also expecting advanced TCCC, Vehicle Shooting, and Combat Course in PH.

As for the STEM, although I have given up the formal studies of BSEE, I'll continue on the informal study of BSEE under the MIT OCW and also will be changing Society in IEEE so I can join the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society while maintaining the IEEE Aerospace Electronics Systems Society membership. That means I am canceling my membership on the Control Systems Society.
