WIESBADEN, Germany \u2013 Carina Sweney moved from her home country of Sweden to Germany for the experience, she said. The supply technician at the Central Issue Facility in Wiesbaden wanted to learn a new culture and improve her German. Now, married to an American for 25 years with two adult children and a 17-year-old, the local national employee with Logistics Readiness Center Wiesbaden said the Army has been a part of their lives for a very long time.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family and I have been around the Army for many years,\u201d said Sweney, who started working at the Army and Air Force Exchange Service in Stuttgart in 1995. \u201cWhen I married my husband, he was working as an Army contractor. We\u2019ve been stationed in Stuttgart, Bamberg, Fort Bragg, and now Wiesbaden, and my children went to school in these Army communities. We\u2019ve always had a strong connection to the Army. It\u2019s part of who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working as a local national civilian employee with LRC Wiesbaden since September, the 52-year-old CIF supply tech from Gothenburg, Sweden, said she now has an even stronger Army connection.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to be a part of the Army community, first at AAFES and then as a family member and now as an Army local national employee. I\u2019m proud to be a part of the Army community, especially this year on its 250th birthday. Happy 250th birthday, U.S. Army!\u201d said Sweney.<\/p>\n

At the CIF on Clay Kaserne, Sweney and her coworkers are responsible for outfitting all the Soldiers in the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden community with their Organization Clothing and Individual Equipment needs. From issuing OCIE to exchanging worn or damaged items to equipment turn-in when the Soldiers are out processing \u2013 Sweeney and her CIF team work extremely hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of Soldiers are scared of the CIF for whatever reason,\u201d Sweney said. \u201cWe try to make their experiences less scary and horrible and more helpful. My coworkers are the best. They work extremely hard to take care of the Soldiers here and meet all their CIF needs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
