    More Hard Work at the 101st FMC

    By 2nd Lt. Latoray Washington,
    1st Sustainment Brigade

    BAGHDAD - With 5½ months down and several more to go, Charlie Detachment, 101st Financial Management Company, Special Troops Battalion, 1st Sustainment Brigade, has not lost sight of their mission.

    Over this past quarter there have been lots of improvements and achievements for the Commander's Emergency Response Program cell and the Commercial Vendor Services office.

    The CERP cell has made major improvements in the workplace. Where there was once just an open space with no distinction and not much storage space, there is now a friendly office environment complete with counters to separate the staff from the customers. This change has greatly improved the atmosphere of the workplace.

    Sgt. 1st Class Osama Omari, a paying agent, said "I love the new counters. It makes it look more like an office."

    Another paying agent, Sgt. 1st Class Donald Kerns added, "I like the counters. It gives it some separation between the customers and the office personnel."

    Creating an office friendly work space is only one of the many improvements within the detachment. The CERP cell has also taken the time to update all old files and organize the office and business for future references. From rearranging the container which stores all the old files to updating the processes in the workplace. You name it, they have done it.

    Last month Staff Sgt. Mark Rich, a quality assurance non-commissioned officer and native of Miami conducted an inspection on 1st Lt. Parris Watson, a native of Kingston, Jamaica, and 2nd Lt. Latoray Washington, a native of West Helena, Ark., that ended with an all green marks for internal controls.

    In addition to the needed improvements three Soldiers were recognized with promotions.

    Charlie Detachment will continue to make a big impact over the next several months as the look forward to completing the mission and returning home.
