Other comments: “I actually started here as a summer intern for NET-

COM G8 within the accounting division while finishing my Bachelor in

Business Administration from Northern Arizona University. After com-

pleting my degree I was offered a full-time permanent position within the

Budget division. I found the NETCOM mission and the work required

within resource management exciting and challenging, so of course I had to

stay and see what followed. Now, seven years later, I still enjoy the work I

am doing and feel I provide the right skillset for NETCOM and the Army

within my field.”
