I am currently serving in the U. S. Army stationed at Fort Benning, GA with

equipment operations. Operated Scoop Loaders, motorized graders, 18 wheel

While stationed at Fort Benning, I worked in R & U where I had to receive,

store, and inventory items; check incoming shipments of stock; store items

in established locations, and setup specific locations for new items; tag

locations and enter names, quantities, and locations of stock onto locator

records; conduct inventories by counting items on hand, searching bins for

missing items, taking recounts as necessary, and coordinating with

supervisor; issue and process returned items; select items based on

specific identifying information, or by converting shop terms to standard

nomenclature, stock or part numbers; refer to locator files, issue and turn-

in records, and part number change lists to identify and locate items;

follow up to assure return of non-expendable items and check upon return
