Johnnie Ciulla Jr
Born on October 2nd at Fort Ord Army base in Monterey CA. My father was a MP in the army and retired as an E6 after a tour to Vietnam and landed some shrapnel in his leg! He was then in law enforcement the rest if his civilian career…I’m telling you this because it has everything to do with the man I have become today.. The military style upbringing I had, forged the way that I carry myself and also taught me the importance of duty, dedication, loyalty, discipline and patriotism! So it came naturally for me to want to join the Armed Forces after high school. So I went through the whole process of talking to a recruiter-taking the asvab and choosing the MOS of 12 Bravo (Combat Engineer) I went to basic training and AIT at Fort Leonard Wood (lost in the woods) Missouri. I was then assigned to Ft. Carson Colorado as a driver, then TC of the AVLB unit attached to HHT 2/3rd ACR…where I served until I ETS’s. Throughout my civilian career as a mechanical and reliability engineer I have always had the entrepreneurship spirit. The level of pride and ownership of having your own business is second to none. Coupled with the ability to add value to your community by helping others is an outstanding byproduct of our business!
