Family History
Hi and welcome to my webpage. Be sure to sign my guest
book so I can tell if you've been here. My fullname is Patrick
Michael San Nicolas Quenga. My family name is from the island of Guam. I'm
the second youngest son of nine. I'm half Guamanian
and half Irish. My mother's name is Rosalina San Nicolas Quenga from Agat, Guam. I have five brothers and three sisters; Johnny, Jarvis,
Jay (deceased), Jerrold, Guy, Jessica, Jacqueline (deceased), and Johnna.
Most of my family lives throughout California with the exception of my
mother and little brother (Guy) who lives in Guam and my sister Johnna who
lives in Memphis, Tennessee. You can visit my family at our family website by clicking here |
Military History
I joined the Army August 21, 1991. I attended Basic Training (Boot
Camp) at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. I completed the Warrant Officer Basic Course at Fort Gordon, Georgia for the MOS 251A (Information Systems Technician) September 3, 1999. The course was 19 weeks long and contained classes in UNIX, Windows NT, Network Essentials, Visual Basic 6.0 programming, Network Security, Network Administration, Web design, Object Oriented Modeling and Design, and Computer Hardware. My current assignment is with the 22nd Signal Brigade where I'm the Brigade Automation Officer and the Information Assurance Manager. When I arrived to this unit in Darmstadt, Germany in September of 2003, the unit was already deployed to Iraq. Therefore, soon after arriving to the unit, I found myself heading back out to the desert to join the unit in Baghdad, Iraq at a place they called Camp Victory. While in Baghdad, I operated as a Data Controller in the Joint Network Operations Security Center (JNOSC), managing over 450 routers on the largest communications network ever deployed by the United States Army in the world. We returned from Iraq late February of 2004, and believe me, these guys
were ready to come home. Operation Iraq Freedom I and V Corps in the Attack
was a success. Victory Voice accomplished their mission with flying
colors, accomplishing historical events and doing things no one or no
communications unit has ever accomplished in the history of warfare. I've been in the Army for 16 years now. The Army has taken me around the
world, from the beaches of Australia to the mountains of Alaska; from the
"hang out" Uncle Frosties in Camp Doha, Kuwait, to "The Hill" in Iteawan, Seoul, Republic
of Korea; from the desert of Somalia to the island of Puerto Rico; from
the jungles of Panama to the cold frost of New Brunswick, Canada; and now to Baghdad Iraq on Camp Victory...and you
know what, I wouldn't change a thing. I love everything I do and what the military has to offer me. The Army is
not just a job, it's a lifestyle. It's meant for some, and not for others. I am a true believer that if you're in the service and don't want to be, then we should put every effort to get you out. There is always someone willing to take your spot. A Soldier that wants to be here, rather then a Soldier whining and complaining about being here. |
