NORTH FREEDOM,WI

Summary

I am a retired Human Resources Senior NCO from the WIARNG. I have extensive knowledge of its staff and inner workings. I also have extensive knowledge of all the personnel programs currently used in the organization. I also worked extensively with the joint staff in previous occasions and have worked with the Air Guard in some instances to understand their purpose and needs in the joint staff as a WING organization. I have dealt with the misery of state active duty and its processes many times over. We have tried multiple times to streamline the process with little success and a lot of work. I am excited that there is finally a program that can coordinate DMA pay to our Soldiers and Airmen appropriately with little to no errors. I believe if the largest Guard states are using them (who EMAC regularly and have natural disasters all the time), they must be fully usable and I'm sold. I am fully capable of managing presentations, collaboration between staff, coordinating needs, automating processes for new systems to tie into current systems, and motivating people to get the job done.
