ORLANDO - Tammy Mygrant is part of the DCMA Orlando team providing contract services for customers working with a small business that makes precision tools for avionics, including tool kits designed to meet the needs of military aircraft maintenance crews.
“I used to use these tools,” said Mygrant, referring to her past experiences in uniform and as a civilian. “I know what level of quality the customer expects.”
Mygrant was an Air Force mechanic on an airborne battle management radar program. She continued to work with aircraft when she transitioned to civilian life, eventually becoming a quality assurance contractor for the space shuttle program.
When the shuttle program began to wind down, Mygrant became a quality assurance specialist with DCMA. She is now using her decades of experience to ensure items being produced for military customers meet contract specifications.
“This is very different than being a contractor for NASA,” said Mygrant, noting every transition has a learning curve. “It’s taken me a lot of time to learn the DCMA way of doing things.”
Gene Simms works with Mygrant as the DCMA Orlando pre-award survey manager and industrial specialist assigned to the aviation tools contractor. He, too, is an Air Force veteran, retiring from the service in 1996.
“DCMA is one of the best jobs I’ve ever had,” said Simms, who’s proud to be supporting customers he feels an affinity toward. “Numerous contractors I work with make all types of aircraft parts and components, and I like to get involved in every bit of it.”
