Introduction
I have spent 17 years in the Army, 10 of which I worked in a warehouse and dealt with
millions of dollars’ worth of military equipment, the most recent being aviation parts for fighter
helicopters. My previous warehouses I dealt with tank parts and office supplies. I was the
warehouse manager the last 5 years of my Army career and was at the forefront of everything
logistics alongside the Accountable officer. I have learned the trade of logistics in my tenure with
the Army. I oversaw all the inventory, transportation, and financial aspects of the job. I have
trained and supported all essential personnel in the operations.
In this course I have learned the civilian logistics and its way of optimizing, building and
structure of planning to run an operation on my own. Using balance scorecards in choosing the
right partnership with suppliers and manufacturers is a new transferable skill I learned. Having
worked with just military personnel, learning how to work with outsourced suppliers as an
individual company helps me get rid of bad habits learned in the military.
Learning the software used to build a rapport is an unfamiliar territory, again, the Army
already has the software, the suppliers, its client already established so learning the basics and
learning what companies to use for building rapport is a transferable skill.
My career is leaning towards working with the Army as a civilian contractor, they use the
same platforms I used and came to be knowledgeable on. I must be conscious around the people
I deal with daily because now, I will be dealing with my civilian counterparts rather than the

uniformity of the Army. I must be more careful about how I speak with customers and more
conscious of the parts and products that become lost or damaged.
My goal is to run my own establishment where I can use the information learned. Maybe
use the fake company and make it a reality. With the plethora amount of people wanting to open
their own retail business, I could use my own project as a guide towards it, who knows the world
is a playground and the mind is a safe box for information.
