I would like to start by saying that I was very young, I was only 15 when I joined the

army as a radiotelegraphist. I liked my specialty and my work very much. Since then I
have been stationed aboard different naval vessels. My first ship was a destroyer,
Alcala Galiano was its name and I sailed on it for a year.

My next ship was a submarine, Narval, where I worked for another year. Afterwards, for
three years I was in a corvette. Descubierta, was its name. Later on I went to the NCO
school where I became a communications specialist sergeant. Some Years later as a
communications officer, I was working on the PDA carrier for 6 years, and another six
years in the minehunter seals as chief of operations. When I got the rank of lieutenant
commander I was assigned to the main station of the satellite in Madrid and since 2012
I am in the communications satellite program office of the defense ministry. I am very
happy to be Director of different satcom projects. Such as the F-110 frigates, the
submarine s-80, the MH90 helicopter or the A400 aircraft.
Finally, I would like to say that in my work and within my responsibility, I need to have a
very close contact with the strongest companies in the sector of communications by
military satellites such as INDRA, Telefónica, AICOX THALES ... etc. we use very
advanced technology and this requires always being at the vanguard of SATCOM
technology.

Texto Personal 2

My name is Lorenzo and I am fifty-seven years old. I'm married to Emilia and I have a
child and my wife another child. Although I like children very much, we do not have a
child in common. I have 4 siblings, two boys and two girls, and I do not have a mother,
because she died very young.

I would like to start by saying that I am from Cartagena, which is a small town in the
south-east of Spain close to Alicante and Murcia, next to the sea.
Since I was a child I have always liked everything related to the sea, diving, sailing,
fishing. I have a small boat that I use for sport fishing but I live in Madrid and I am very
far from the sea.

I also like the world of horses, especially dressage. It is very nice to see how a
great animal as the horse has more nobility than even the human being.
Spain has great riders but not great horses. I had one but he died. The best
rider is a girl I know, her name is Beatriz Ferrez, who has been an Olympic
rider. The value of these animals can reach more than 2 million euros and it is a
very expensive sport.
