00:15.550 --> 00:17.439
I'm with Defense Logistics Agency

00:17.439 --> 00:19.550
Disposition Services . We're in Pearl

00:19.550 --> 00:21.328
Harbor , Hawaii , in one of our

00:21.328 --> 00:23.272
warehouses , and our mission is to

00:23.272 --> 00:25.272
support the warfighter . We take in

00:25.272 --> 00:27.439
their excess material , either dispose

00:27.439 --> 00:29.709
of it or we resell it . I am a military

00:29.709 --> 00:31.876
spouse . My husband is active duty Air

00:31.876 --> 00:34.729
Force . Before I entered this job field ,

00:34.909 --> 00:37.950
I was a teacher . I have been with DLA

00:37.950 --> 00:41.150
Dis Bus Services for about 2 years . I

00:41.150 --> 00:43.317
really enjoy it because it's new every

00:43.317 --> 00:45.483
day . We get different customers every

00:45.483 --> 00:47.594
day . We get different property every

00:47.594 --> 00:49.761
day that requires different handling .

00:49.761 --> 00:52.590
And what I really enjoy is being able

00:52.590 --> 00:55.139
to resell what we can resell to save

00:55.139 --> 00:57.361
the government money and the taxpayers'

00:57.361 --> 00:59.472
money . It's really taught me a great

00:59.472 --> 01:01.528
amount of patience because a part of

01:01.528 --> 01:03.990
the job is teaching new hires , but

01:03.990 --> 01:06.790
it's also educating customers on how to

01:06.790 --> 01:09.940
turn things in in a more efficient way .

01:10.489 --> 01:13.220
I would think my superpower is patience

01:13.220 --> 01:15.331
because it's something I had to learn

01:15.331 --> 01:17.510
as a teacher and it's definitely tied

01:17.510 --> 01:19.566
into what I do here on a daily basis

01:19.566 --> 01:22.309
and it's been a very helpful tool in my

01:22.309 --> 01:22.769
toolkit .
