1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:02,280
- My name is Jamie Sahagun.

2
00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:04,400
I've been with DCMA for eight years,

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,290
and I'm a contract price cost analyst.

4
00:00:07,290 --> 00:00:08,600
- My name is Jason Dangler.

5
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,580
I've been with DCMA for almost five years,

6
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:15,066
and I am a cost price
analyst here in DCMA Europe.

7
00:00:15,066 --> 00:00:17,566
(wind chimes)

8
00:00:18,690 --> 00:00:20,470
- It's very different from the states

9
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:23,160
as we deal with a lot
of host nation requests

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,130
for the United Kingdoms,

11
00:00:26,130 --> 00:00:28,840
France, Netherlands and Germany.

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,560
In 2016 the defense federal
acquisition regulations

13
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,840
changed where all host nation requests,

14
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,270
including the United
Kingdoms, have to come through

15
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:40,190
DCMA Europe first before
they get sent to the nations.

16
00:00:40,190 --> 00:00:43,670
- We have to deal with
a lot more information

17
00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:45,670
that might be required for a pressing case

18
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:48,220
due to international regulations.

19
00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:50,480
We have host nation
countries where we have

20
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,380
memorandum of understandings with

21
00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:54,830
and that require those countries to do

22
00:00:54,830 --> 00:00:56,280
the work for those audits.

23
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,470
- So dealing with all
the different time zones

24
00:00:58,470 --> 00:01:01,790
to coordinate does present
a challenge sometimes

25
00:01:01,790 --> 00:01:03,610
but it's fun to get to work through

26
00:01:03,610 --> 00:01:05,820
those different type of challenges.

27
00:01:05,820 --> 00:01:08,540
I enjoy working DCMA Europe very much

28
00:01:08,540 --> 00:01:10,610
because we're like a family.

29
00:01:10,610 --> 00:01:12,240
Just because you're here in Germany

30
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,920
it's hard to make other friends outside

31
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,560
because I don't speak the language.

32
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,560
- Just the opportunity to be here

33
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,200
in Europe and to have the variety,

34
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,720
I really think that's the most
exciting thing you hear is,

35
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,920
every day is not gonna be the same.

36
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,130
And I think that that is
something when you come

37
00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:30,435
to work every day is exciting.

38
00:01:30,435 --> 00:01:33,177
(light upbeat music)
