**Anything interesting about you you’d like to share?**

I have been interested in learning English. It is good luck at work to use English.

**Describe your job.**

Customer service and receiving disposition items from Misawa Air Base, Hachinohe and Shariki.

**How long have you worked for the federal government, including military service?**

Four years as a local national employee.

**How long have you worked for DLA Disposition Services?**

One year. Before this, I worked for USAF for three years.)

**Any good memories with DLA?**

A farewell for a former receiver. He worked in DLA DS and DRMO for over 30 years. I learned a lot from his experience.

**What about the job gives you satisfaction?**

I can handle the receiving section. I feel every co-worker depends on me.

**Receive any good advice?**

My boss told me that if I have a concern, let him know anything. He is a reliable manager.

**If you could speak directly to the warfighters you support, what would you tell them?**

Thank you for your dedication. I always look forward to meeting you.

**Any other interesting recent work memories?**

Sometimes, it snows a lot in winter here and everyone cooperates to remove the snow. It is a hard mission, but it’s our destiny to fight against and live with snow.

**Any heroes?**

Hidetoshi Nakata was a soccer player. He showed good performance in Italy and got a goal in FIFA World Cup. I was always moved by his play.
