00:05.650 --> 00:07.929
I've been with DLA 6.5 years . I came

00:07.929 --> 00:11.369
here after 7 years working in private

00:11.369 --> 00:13.970
manufacturing plants . Before that , I

00:13.970 --> 00:15.970
was a weather officer in the United

00:15.970 --> 00:18.026
States Air Force for 5 years . So we

00:18.026 --> 00:20.450
coordinate with the supply chain . In

00:20.450 --> 00:23.430
instances when the supply chain tries

00:23.430 --> 00:25.597
to procure something from a commercial

00:25.597 --> 00:27.708
source and for whatever reason that ,

00:27.708 --> 00:30.389
uh , It doesn't work out , one of the

00:30.389 --> 00:32.389
options they have is to turn to the

00:32.389 --> 00:34.445
organic manufacturing office , which

00:34.445 --> 00:36.667
coordinates with the organic industrial

00:36.667 --> 00:38.722
base , which are government operated

00:38.722 --> 00:40.556
manufacturing facilities . So we

00:40.556 --> 00:43.470
coordinate agreements between DLA and a

00:43.470 --> 00:46.270
service-owned manufacturing facility to

00:46.270 --> 00:48.381
procure items . I like that we have a

00:48.381 --> 00:50.659
mission . We know what that mission is ,

00:50.659 --> 00:52.381
it's defined , and that we can

00:52.381 --> 00:54.603
accomplish it . You know , I never have

00:54.603 --> 00:56.437
to go home at the end of the day

00:56.437 --> 00:58.714
wondering if . Something I did matters .

00:58.714 --> 01:00.714
I know that it does . That's what I

01:00.714 --> 00:59.900
like .
