KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany \u2013 Going from a dentist\u2019s office in downtown Kaiserslautern to the 405th Army Field Support Brigade was a major operational procedure, but Lisa Mayer-Wekerle did it without any complications, both from a dental and an Army perspective.<\/p>\n

The German host nation employee with the 405th AFSB\u2019s Logistics Readiness Center Rheinland-Pfalz worked for a commercial dentist in the city for about eight years before accepting a local national civilian employee position with the Army on Daenner Kaserne about a year ago.<\/p>\n

After a full year as a transportation assistant at LRC Rheinland-Pfalz, Mayer-Wekerle said she\u2019s extremely satisfied with her work and her team and proud to be a part of the 405th AFSB and the LRC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy to work for the U.S. Army, and I plan to continue doing so all the way until I retire,\u201d said the 27-year-old lifelong resident of Kaiserslautern. \u201cI really enjoy helping Soldiers and Army Families with their transportation needs, and I\u2019m proud to be a part of the LRC Rheinland-Pfalz team working in the Personal Property Processing Office \u2013 especially this year during the Army\u2019s 250th birthday. Happy 250th birthday, U.S. Army!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mayer-Wekerle said one of the aspects of her job she enjoys most is working directly with her customers. When Soldiers are scheduled to depart the U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz community \u2013 either heading to their next duty station or separating from service or retiring \u2013 Mayer-Wekerle offers face-to-face transportation assistance and counseling to support them.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of my job as a transportation assistant is direct customer support. At the end of the day, I love making my customers happy,\u201d said Mayer-Wekerle. \u201cBy counseling them on their entitlements and helping them with any of their questions or concerns, I\u2019m making their transitions a little less stressful and a little smoother.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayer-Wekerle also acts a liaison between her customers and Base Support Operations Transportation. At the Personal Property Processing Office, or PPPO, Mayer-Wekerle and her coworkers work directly with the booking office personnel at BASOPS Transportation who, in turn, work with the commercial shipping companies and transportation carriers.<\/p>\n

Together, their mission is to ensure Army Soldiers and Families safely and successfully relocate their personal household goods and unaccompanied baggage shipments from one duty location to the next, anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love my job,\u201d said Mayer-Wekerle, who not only celebrated one year with the Army this year but also will celebrate her first full year of marriage in July. \u201cIt\u2019s the perfect job for me and an important part of my near perfect and wonderful life, now.\u201d<\/p>\n
