COMMANDER SUPPORT

9/1/23 9:47 AM

ANDREW MAY

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT WORKING IN THE COMMANDER’S SUPPORT STAFF (CSS)? The opportunity to assist all Force Support Squadron (FSS) team members and help develop Airmen. WHAT DO YOU WISH THE MISAWA COMMUNITY KNEW ABOUT YOUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES? The CSS in FSS (or other units) has access to or impact on most of the programs that affect unit members every day. This ranges from timecards to duty status reporting to network access. WHAT IS YOUR BEST MEMORY IN CSS? My best memories in FSS are when I can provide Airmen with tools to help them achieve financial independence. Also when I can help our team members to resolve issues that might stump other agencies.
