This week, there wasn't a lot of time to go around the base, but I got to experience what their work load is like. At first, I started by helping Tsgt MCCULLEY by making two piles. They have to be very specific. One for shredding and the other is for trash. This may seem like it is not that hard but there is a catch. With the documents that they have very specific ones have to be shredded, no exceptions at all. These include reports, federal documents, blotters, and anything with someones name on it. Then, once we got started, We went through all the documents so that way we did not through out any documents that he had to save for inspection because there are some documents that he must have on file for a certain amount of time. Also, we had to make sure we did not accidentally throw away the DK reports because they are supposed to go to the contractors for their records. This took a whole two days but it was fun since I got to learn about the way they dispose of documents and what type of documents that are supposed to be kept. And when they shred the files, they call a shredding company to come out, but they have to watch him since the material he is shredding is classified or confidential. My final day I got to go on a short patrol with some of the security forces. We basically patrolled the area and did checks. It was very interesting to see how they went about there jobs as patrol men.
When I asked Tsgt MCCULLEY about how he manages his time, he said that there are certain things that he can take time to do and others, he cannot. Being late for work is something he thinks you should never do and most of the time, he is busy with getting reports. Anything that really does not have to do with reports does not get done right away but he tries to get to it as soon as possible. Sometimes he takes the work home with him to get it done and have more time on other work related issues.
