# Employee Reflection: J'Lene Wygal

Property Disposal Technician, Hill Air Force Base, Utah

**Describe your job in a sentence or two. What do you do specifically?**

I am the primary point of contact for all visitors, personnel and vehicles entering the facility, including sponsoring incoming trucks onto the base. I assist customers with various turn-in questions and inquiries. I process each truck or customer within DSS and assign RCNs to each. The RCNs are totaled at the end of the day and added to the production report.

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

I’ll have been a federal employee for two years in May.

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

Two years in May. 

**What is your favorite memory with DLA Disposition Services?**

Honestly, it’s not exactly a memory, but the way I was welcomed and the people I’ve met. Between DLA employees and various customers, it’s amazing to see the teamwork as we’ve come together. 

**What aspect(s) of your current job gives you the most personal satisfaction and why?**

Knowing I’m helping support the warfighter. Even on a small scale, it makes me feel like I’m doing something good. 

**What is the best piece of advice someone has given you?**

Don’t worry about the things you can’t control. There’s no sense in stressing yourself out over something you’re unable to fix. I’m a worrier by nature, so this is something I work on daily. 

**Where do you see yourself five years from now?**

In five years, my goal is to be a property disposal specialist, or in a leadership position of some level. 

**Tell us something that most people might not know about you?**

I’m very interested in applying for positions overseas. It would be a great career opportunity, along with allowing me the ability to experience other cultures. Both my daughters are adults, so I don’t have to worry about uprooting them from schooling or friends. 

**Who’s your biggest influence?**

My biggest influence is 100% my dad. He started with DLA in 1987 as a packer, then moved on to production control. He finally retired from DLA in 2013 as a division chief with DLA Distribution at Hill AFB. Federal employment gave him a lot of great experiences throughout his career. In a lot of ways, I’ve followed in his footsteps.

**What are some of your passions outside of work?**

Woodworking is my biggest passion. I love to have an idea come to mind, put it on paper and ultimately watch it come to life. It’s a fascinating process that I never get tired of.

**What is your favorite quote?**

*“The top of one mountain is always the bottom of another.”**– Marianne Williamson.* It reminds me to never stop climbing.
