# San Joaquin’s Fritangela selected as Employee of the Quarter

By Annette SilvaDLA Distribution San Joaquin Public Affairs

                SAN JOAQUIN, California  –              
Dustin Fritangela, distribution process worker leader atDefense Logistics Agency Distribution San Joaquin, Calif., has been honored asEmployee of the Quarter for first quarter, fiscal year 2016. 

Fritangela works in the distribution center’s StockPositioning Branch, where he is a valued employee with a vast knowledge of theentire distribution center and epitomizes the idea of being a team player, sayshis supervisor Matt Messick. 

While working with the Disposal Release Order program, he hadconcerns about sending shipping and storage containers that might be reusableto disposal and took the initiative to research how to best utilize thesecontainers.  After contacting hiscolleague at Naval Supply Systems Command for direction as to what thedistribution center should be doing with the containers, it was revealed thatthe U.S. Navy was in desperate need for containers and that they had a Long-LifeReusable Container program in place.

After learning of the Navy’s container program, he contactedthe customer to obtain their shipping information and compiled a truckload ofcontainers valued at nearly $30,000. Since shipping the first load, Fritangelahas volunteered to spearhead the program for San Joaquin to continue thesavings to the taxpayer and support the distribution center’s customers.

“Mr. Fritangela’s can-do attitude and work ethic perfectlyalign with DLA’s mission, vision and values. He provides responsive support tothe mission, while assisting the department staff and can be counted on to givehis best. He is not only a dedicated government employee, but also a woundedwarrior,” said Messick.
