I also provide support to U.S. Forces Japan for environmental issues and provide technical support.

**What was your first job?**

My first job was Cargo truck body design by CAD.  Before DLA, I worked for NAF Atsugi PWC as a Transportation Maintenance Manager MLC 2-10 and Environmental Engineer/HW Manager MLC 1-7 for a total of five years from 1990-95.

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

My favorite memory with Disposition Services is the teamwork effort about polychlorinated biphenyls. also known as PCBs, retrograde to U. S. 

**What is your favorite part of your job?**

My favorite part of my job is hazardous waste disposal advice to generators. Because we offer direct operational support to hazardous waste generators for waters such as perfluorooctane sulfonic acid/perfluorinated alkylated substances, more commonly known as PFOS/PFOA.   

**What has been the most helpful training you have received?**

The training most helpful for my job has been R510 Transportation of HM/HW for DOD (DoT) and Resource Conservation And Recovery Act (RCRA) Annual Refresher.  These help a lot for daily work and are fundamental training for environmental operation.

The most thrilling thrilling/adventurous thing I ever did was in 1988 - my first U. S. trip to Sun Francisco.  Thrilling and adventurous because I could not speak English well and my friend helped me a lot. Since then, I have started English learning almost every day.
