As a result, APG became the first of the chemical agent storage sites in the
continental United States to completely destroy its chemical agent stockpile.

During the last years of my career, I was detailed to the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security at the Chemical Security Analysis Center, located at APG.

Here I provided technical support for risk assessments, which examined the
threat of various toxic industrial chemicals and chemical warfare agents to the
U.S. homeland. Upon my retirement after a combined total of over 40 years
of federal service, I was awarded the Army Achievement Medal for Civilian

Service.

I am Bill Krouse a Veteran and I retired after a federal career of 40 plus years,

with three years in the Army followed by 37 years as a civilian working for
the Department of the Navy. I designed and modified the computer systems
used by the sailors and the civilians at the Supply depots, like Norfolk and San
Diego, so our armed forces could get the supply parts they needed to

technology.

I am Constance Kuntz and I started my federal career of 28 years after brief

one test or run a day to PCs and IBM mainframes, with capability to run as

needed. I ended my career as a supervisor, GM-13, with both supply systems
analysts and computer systems analysts working in my assigned area.

I especially liked being able to help customers during my career. I started
work at the Inventory Control Point (ICP) in Mechanicsburg, Pa., and ended
at Navy Supply Information Systems Activity (NAVSISA). I was able to

explain why our systems worked as they did to customers at the ICP and help
them get products they needed from the computer. I occasionally got calls
from supply officers on ships with problems and it felt great to help them. I
also worked with people at the stock points and other agencies and other

services.

One of the optional programs at Mechanicsburg was, with supervisory
