John Escamilla

As a senior warehouseman, I mastered our Nexgen database and collaborated closely with our Chief of Material Control and AFCEC to ensure strict adherence to industry standards. Leading our team daily, I adeptly tackle diverse challenges and mentor fellow employees across JBSA, providing guidance through various operational scenarios. My comprehensive expertise spans from a wide variety of materials across different trades and their precise applications.

In my role, I oversaw daily inventory comprising of 2,298 line items valued at $3,530,240.00, strategically selecting materials to enhance mission effectiveness. Biannually, I coordinate and host a U-Fix-It event supporting a week-long base-wide cleanup and landscaping effort at Lackland Air Force Base. Additionally, I fulfill the responsibilities of a vehicle control officer for my section, along with serving as the safety representative. As a safety representative, I play a significant role in ensuring the successful completion of our safety inspections. My Vehicle Control Officer (VCO) duties involve rigorously supervising vehicle operations, enforcing adherence to safety protocols, and promote a culture of accountability and risk management within the team.

During my tenure as a material handler I thoroughly learned the intricacies of receiving, issuing, conducting cycle counts, and executing transfers, employing efficient storage techniques for a diverse array of materials. Customer service is integral to this role, and I excel in assisting customers with professionalism and courtesy while fulfilling material requests. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in the conversion of JBSA from IWIMS to Nexgen AO, a critical mission that involved meticulously relabeling and organizing all three JBSA warehouses. Throughout this process, I gained proficiency in managing data with spreadsheets, ensuring seamless transition and operational continuity.

Led a team of approximately 22 individuals daily, ensuring strict safety

compliance and prioritizing the well-being of our Military Working Dogs (MWDs). Approximately 700 MWD's were in my care. Their health and safety were paramount to optimize their performance in protecting our country. I contributed to a diverse team of military and civilian personnel dedicated to emergency response for the MWD's during inclement weather, additionally assisting in the coordination of training demonstrations for public events. Additionally, assisted in maintaining the nutrition service contract to ensure continuous supply for Military Working Dogs, even during budget constraints. Collaborated with suppliers to negotiate favorable terms and monitored inventory levels to prevent shortages, ensuring seamless operations and sustained support for mission-critical activities.
