Genaro Espino had a successful career with the United States Marine Corps before his decision to learn the finer points of a heavy equipment operator. Genaro’s wife gave birth this past June and He did not want to leave his young family again as the service will have you do. So, Mr. Espino enrolled with us for a chance at a
second profession. The Marine Corps footed the bill for the training and he completed it Last December.
Genaro
has always loved heavy equipment and now he loves getting paid
to operate it. After completing the training, Genaro headed home
and was hired by his hometown county. He now operates a variety
of equipment for Finney County in Kansas. He is skilled in the
operation of Cat, John Deere, and Case equipment.
We
asked Genaro what his favorite piece of equipment was. He told
us that he really doesn’t have a favorite, that he enjoys
operating most all of them. “I work with more that one piece
of equipment, I never get board.” “I really do not
like the back-hoe much, however, it seems unstable to me.”
“The nice thing about this field of work is you don’t
have to run equipment you don’t like, there’s plenty
of work on other equipment.”
While
Genaro was in training with us, we asked him why he chose our
school. He told us that our training was approved by DANTES, the
Veterans Administration, and the G I Bill. He wanted all the tuition
assistance he was entitled to. “No other schools I looked
at were approved for this type of tuition assistance!”
When
Mr. Espino is not rearranging the shape of his county, he enjoys
the usual assortment of hobbies. Soccer is his favorite sport,
but his focus is on church and family. With the Marine Corps behind
him, he has the time to devote to these avocations.
National Training is
grateful we could be involved in Mr.
Espino’s training. We are also
swollen with pride for the life he
has made for himself and his family.
