Although the main goal of the mission was carpentry and masonry, PFC Parkulo's knowledge outside of his MOS (21K-Plumber) was vital in the aid when it came to pouring concrete and building form-work for the foundation of the project. His arduous attention to detail when it came to assuring every corner of the slab was filled thoroughly to reach its maximum strength possible produced excellent results throughout the rotation. His knowledge outside his MOS contributed to the success of the platoon's mission.
