# I am DLA

By DLA Public Affairs

                Fort Belvoir, Virginia  –              
**My Name Is: **Terry Russell**I am:**A quality assurance representative for DLA Energy Americas at Houston working out of Dayton, Ohio.**Describe your job in a sentence:**I perform quality oversight on product supply, storage and service contracts, pipeline operating agreements, and other commodity contracts awarded by DLA Energy.**How long have you worked at DLA**?My first stint was as a military QAR in Houston, starting in 1991. After my military career, I was hired by what is now DLA Energy in 2000, as a QAR in the Middle East Office.**What is your favorite thing about working for DLA?**I love that DLA lets me work with so many subject matter experts who overcome a multitude of challenges while supporting military and humanitarian missions around the world.**What are your best memories of working here?**Working in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Bahrain, Operation Unified Response for the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster relief for Hurricanes Sandy and Maria.**How do you make a difference?**I relied on my Air Force training to inspect, fill and test five R-9 Refuelers to ensure they were capable of issuing on-specification fuel. I then led the charge to issue fuel to the first four C-5 aircraft to arrive in Bahrain in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. This was no easy task and is not in the QAR Handbook.
