Karla Lehman 94th Airlift Wing Public Affairs DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- INNERview is a special spotlight for members of Team Dobbins who don't always get recognized for their accomplishments on base and outside of the gates. If you would like to nominate someone, please call Public Affairs at (678) 655-5055 or email the editor at 94AW.PA@us.af.mil. Tech. Sgt. Jodi Fleming Job Title: Knowledge Operations Manager Hometown: Dunbar, Pennsylvania Years of Service: 9 What does your job entail? My job is to organize, maintain and track all information that flows in and out of the 94th Communications Squadron. I currently work on the Commander's Support Staff. I manage our Unit Training Assembly Participation System, coordinate personnel moves utilizing the Unit Manning Document, and create orders for our members. Knowledge Operations Manager's are the lifeblood of a military squadron. What is your most recent accomplishment? I recently completed a Bachelor of Science degree at Pennsylvania State University. It took me over 13 years, but I've finally accomplished the goal I had set for myself. What's the most challenging part about being in the Air Force Reserve? A challenging part of being in the Air Force Reserve is the constant schedule coordination. As an Air Force Reservist, I must rearrange schedules in order to fit my reserve duty alongside my civilian job and my family obligations. What do you enjoy most about your job? I enjoy coordinating squadron member's information, resulting in promotions, awards, and opportunities. What do you do for recreation? I enjoy being outdoors. In my spare time, I like to hike in the beautiful mountains of Georgia. What's your favorite movie? American Graffiti. I have always been interested in vintage cars and how America was during the 50s, with the drive-ins and carhops. What was your last assignment? I was stationed at the 315th Airlift Wing, Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina. What advice would you give someone who is interested in joining the military? Research the type of career field you would like to be placed in and know all of the aspects of that position. Also, if you're young, go active duty! What has been your favorite TDY or deployment? My favorite TDY was to Carson City, Nevada. I was there working on an Individual Readiness Training project, building a community center for the Washoe Indian Tribe. That TDY changed my life forever. Tell us an interesting fact about yourself. I wasn't always a Knowledge Operations Manager. I began my reserve career in civil engineering. Not only can I manage information, but I can do construction as well!
