WIESBADEN, Germany \u2013 When Haciba Lathrache started working for the Army in 2007 she was the Mannheim Librarian at Sullivan Barracks, but in 2011 the Army community in Mannheim shuttered its doors, and Lathrache was forced to move to a new position at the mailroom on Clay Kaserne in Wiesbaden.<\/p>\n

After several years working official mail, Lathrache moved to Logistics Readiness Center Wiesbaden and started working at the Drivers Testing and Training Station. Now, the U.S. Army local national employee who came to Germany in the \u201890s from her home country of Algeria and speaks four languages fluently has been with LRC Wiesbaden for seven years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to Germany in 1994. My native languages are both Arabic and French, and I took English classes while I was in school,\u201d said Lathrache, who studied in her hometown of La Casbah. \u201cI also took some German language classes with the Goethe Institute at the German Consulate in Algiers, and since living here in Germany for over 30 years I\u2019ve perfected it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 63-year-old administrative support assistant in plans and operations said she\u2019s now responsible for managing the time and attendance and installation access programs, to include common access cards, for about 70 of her fellow local national employees at LRC Wiesbaden.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the LRC\u2019s timekeeper, I do all the timesheets at the end of the month, so everyone gets paid. This includes tracking all their requests for annual leave and sick leave, and anything else that comes up,\u201d Lathrache said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also handle their CAC cards and installation access passes,\u201d she said. \u201cI complete their paperwork and forward it to the Civilian Personnel Advisory Center for signature. Once that\u2019s complete, I send the applications to the LRC Wiesbaden director for her signature.\u201d<\/p>\n

For their installation access passes, the LRC Wiesbaden LN employees must make an appointment at the Installation Access Office when all their paperwork is signed and ready. For their CACs, they must visit the ID Card and Passport Office to be issued their CACs, Lathrache said.<\/p>\n

When she\u2019s not doing time and attendance sheets or helping her fellow LN employees with CAC and installation access, Lathrache also helps out at LRC Wiesbaden\u2019s Drivers Testing and Training Station, when needed. There, she ensures customers receive their U.S. Army Europe and government driving licenses, and she assists with international licenses, as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love my job, and my team works so well together. I like everyone, and I think they feel the same about me,\u201d said Lathrace, who holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in library science. \u201cI feel great about working for the U.S. Army, and I hope to continue doing so for many years to come. I\u2019m very proud to be working for the U.S. Army, especially this year on the Army\u2019s 250th birthday. Happy 250th birthday, U.S. Army!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
