Welcome to FRIENDS OF DONOVAN SAADIQ! A bit about me. I am a former USAF Flight Officer and a Civilian Airport Operations Manager. I previously ran for Moreno Valley City Council District 5 in 2014 in a Recall Election that was successful in removing the incumbent. Since that election I have stayed active in city politics and am currently helping my district and community by working on the water problem that has stifled my neighborhood from developing. I am an original resident of Moreno Valley having lived and still living in Edgemont from the time I was 7 years old. Upon graduation from high school I was lucky enough to be stationed right back at March AFB to where I started my military career as a KC-10A aircraft mechanic. I have served in every military operation from Desert Shield/Storm to Afghanistan.
While in the military I was blessed enough to educate myself and received various degrees from various colleges;
Community College of the USAF AAS Aviation Operations
AAS Aviation Maintenance Technology
Vincennes University AS General Studies
Riverside Community College AA History
AA Management
San Diego Miramar College AS Private Pilot Studies
San Bernardino Valley College AA Liberal Arts
Coastline Community College AA Social & Behavioral Science
AA American Studies
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University AS Professional Aeronautics
BS Professional Aeronautics
CLEP/DANTES TESTING 122 subject credit hours
Education for me is a lifelong pursuit as I am trying to finish my Master's degree from Ft. Hays State University in "Health Science". to which I am 1 year away. I am one of those people that likes to learn about everything! Doesn't make me an expert but its never a negative for anybody who wants to learn something they never knew and better themselves.
