Where do you work?

U.S. Army Force Management Support Agency, Sustainment Division, Medical, Personnel Service Support Branch at Fort Lee, Virginia

What is your job title?

Senior Management Analyst

Describe your job:

I produce and maintain accurate requirements and authorizations documents for Sustainment organizations to include Medical and Personnel Service Support and I provide analysis to enable and inform leadership decisions.

What do you like best about your job?

I get to directly impact the lives of Soldiers and contribute to the greater good of the Army overall.

What is your most memorable and/or challenging experience during your time as a Manpower and Force Manager?

The most challenging part was learning all the nuances of the job to quickly become a productive member of the team. There is no single school to teach the numerous processes and productions of the job so it is a constant learning environment. Luckily the leadership creates just such an environment.

Would you recommend working in this career field to other federal employees?

Absolutely! I consider myself one of the lucky few who actually enjoy my job. I do it every day because there are no words to describe the pride and pleasure I get when a unit in the field calls or emails back to say thanks for the timely adjustment of their documents.
