Logistics Chief (S4)
I was responsible for the accountability and chain of Custody of all Computer Assets aboard the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, CA. Worked with all Supply and Property Control Officers on a daily basis. Took over an account that had not been properly worked for a number of years. Identified millions of dollars worth of plant property that had been DRMO'd that was not taken off the records properly. Basically made a hot potato account an account to be proud of. My goal was to always leave an account better than I received it, with proper Desktop and Standard Operating Procedures. Semper Fidelis
