LIVORNO, Italy \u2013 Luca Baroncini and his family have many reasons to celebrate this holiday season, one being a recent promotion at work for him and now a little extra cash for presents under the Christmas tree this year for his beautiful wife and son, he says.<\/p>\n

The Italian local national employee accepted a job offer as an automotive equipment dispatcher in the directorate of supply at Army Field Support Battalion-Africa, Dec. 1, and with it comes a promotion. He said he looks forward to learning new job skills and continuing to grow at AFSBn-Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this new position, I am responsible for dispatching a variety of vehicles and equipment pieces for specific work assignments in my battalion,\u201d said Baroncini. \u201cI\u2019m also the primary contracting officer representative for the forklift and trailer contracts and the secondary COR for the two other service contracts we have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baroncini started working for AFSBn-Africa at Leghorn Army Depot in Livorno about 10 years ago. First, he was in a temporary position working as a mechanic in a directorate of maintenance before being offered a permanent position doing the same job after three years. He did that until 2021 when he moved to a new position in the engineer section as a technician, and now he\u2019s an automotive equipment dispatcher.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy job as a technician in the engineer section included assisting with COR duties, monitoring and inspecting contractor work and assisting with contract surveillance on various maintenance contracts,\u201d said the 31-year-old husband of two years and father to a 1-year-old son.<\/p>\n
