Proud of SDDC ...

Dear Editor:

After proudly serving in the U.S. Army as a light weapons infantryman in South Vietnam, I knew then that I wanted to continue to serve our nation in some capacity.

I have been most fortunate to be a part of the MTMC family for the last 30 years having started out in the early 1970s at the Brooklyn Army Terminal, then onto former MTMC Eastern Area at the Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne, N.J. Later, I went onto former MTMC Western Area at the Military Ocean Terminal, Oakland, Calif., only to return back to MTMC Eastern Area and I have been here at Internal Review in our Alexandria, Va., headquarters since January 1983.

For some of you, I have worked closer than perhaps with others of you, but one thing that was always a constant was I knew that our organization was in good hands. I am now embarking on a new chapter in my life that being as a retiree. As I leave I want to take this opportunity to wish you all well as you continue to serve our nation. I have been most proud to call SDDC my second family. I hope to be settled down in Palm Beach County, Fla., in the next several months and once I am, I hope to remain in touch with many of you. For those who want to escape to warm, sunny Florida please let me know (just so long as you're all not wanting to come at the same time!).

For those who wish to stay in touch with me, I may be reached at e-mail: [e-mail].

Very respectfully and most sincerely,

Shelly Howard Strimban
