00:00.709 --> 00:03.767
- My name is Jimmy Childers and this is My DCMA.

00:03.767 --> 00:06.350
(light music)

00:06.741 --> 00:10.506
I've been with DCMA for about 10 years now, so a decade.

00:10.506 --> 00:12.629
I work as a Business Process Advisor

00:12.629 --> 00:14.914
over here at International. Right now

00:14.914 --> 00:17.447
stationed at Wiesbaden at DCMA Europe.

00:17.447 --> 00:19.732
The Business Process Advisor assigned to the Deputy

00:19.732 --> 00:22.350
works for the Deputy in the command

00:22.350 --> 00:23.942
to handle special projects.

00:23.942 --> 00:26.067
They manage the internal control program, MICP

00:26.067 --> 00:28.924
also handles performance improvement

00:28.924 --> 00:31.130
continuous improvement. We also manage

00:31.130 --> 00:33.170
the monthly management review.

00:33.170 --> 00:36.437
You know, supporting the Italy office, Israel, UK

00:36.437 --> 00:39.618
so it's big AOR. So, I think coming to International

00:39.618 --> 00:41.785
the big difference is that

00:41.901 --> 00:44.473
I think when you come into International from a CMO

00:44.473 --> 00:46.107
you know, you got some of the same

00:46.107 --> 00:48.354
work force that you work with for many years.

00:48.354 --> 00:49.988
When you come here you're new

00:49.988 --> 00:52.884
and a lot of your fellow employees are new.

00:52.884 --> 00:54.291
So, sometimes you're trying to

00:54.291 --> 00:56.763
figure it out on your own with them.

00:56.763 --> 00:59.947
Other times you probably rely more on the people

00:59.947 --> 01:02.760
that's here with key facilities in England,

01:02.760 --> 01:05.045
and Italy, with the FACO in Italy.

01:05.045 --> 01:07.295
What I like about working in DCMA Europe,

01:07.295 --> 01:09.325
is it's the location first. I think anybody

01:09.325 --> 01:11.273
would say that the opportunity

01:11.273 --> 01:13.603
to come over to an international environment

01:13.603 --> 01:14.911
is probably once in a lifetime

01:14.911 --> 01:18.547
once in a career opportunity. From DCMA Europe, Wiesbaden,

01:18.547 --> 01:20.467
you have Paris about four hours away

01:20.467 --> 01:23.730
Switzerland four hours, Prague four to five hours.

01:23.730 --> 01:26.710
But it's also, there's a lot of work to be done.

01:26.710 --> 01:27.649
The important thing to remember

01:27.649 --> 01:30.223
is when you get hired over here in OCONUS

01:30.223 --> 01:33.118
the mission comes first. We have a lot of customers

01:33.118 --> 01:35.607
that rely on us to be their eyes and ears.

01:35.607 --> 01:37.562
You know, to give that acquisition insights

01:37.562 --> 01:39.851
so they can make decisions about their programs.

01:39.851 --> 01:43.184
It's a very rewarding mission over here.
