My name is:
Jesse J. Romandia
I am:
A local stock number verifier for DLA Distribution working with DLA Disposition Services at San Joaquin, California, and a member of the Ohlone and Chumash Tribes of California. Native Americans have supported all branches of the military, and all Native communities have high respect for those who serve in the military, for those who follow the “way of the warrior.”
Describe your job in a sentence.
I verify property being turned in without a standard National Stock Number, so that it’s correctly identified.
How long have you worked for DLA?
Eight years: one as a contractor and with DLA since then.
What is your favorite thing about working for DLA?
Being able to serve the warfighter and help the customers make use of items DLA supplies — especially the customers we’ve helped during the hurricanes.
What are your best memories of working here?
Our customers coming in to personally thank us, showing us pictures of how they have used equipment they got from us.
How do you make a difference?
By keeping all the property where it should be so warfighters can get it when they need it and so none of the bad guys get it.
