VETERAN SPOTLIGHT
“What we do here is important — it protects people. It’s mission-driven, and we’re a family. That’s what I had in the Army, and that’s what I found again at USIC.” - Gilbert W.
Gilbert served 11 years in the U.S. Army as a Military Police officer. After 9/11, he felt called to serve his country. Today, he brings that same purpose to USIC, protecting lives and property by locating underground utilities with precision and care.
His military discipline, attention to detail, and pride in his work make him a standout technician — and a leader among our team.
