After the completion of recruit training, he attained certification as a Digital Wideband Technician in Twenty-Palms, CA and was stationed at MCAS-Miramar in San Diego. He was a plank owner of SPMAGTF-Crisis Response in 2014-2015 where he participated in a variety of missions abroad. Corporal Christensen has sustained permanent physiological and psychological trauma throughout his 5 years in the Marine Corps.
