ROCK SOLID WARRIOR Published Oct. 6, 2009 386th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Staff Sgt. Emmanuel Santillan Duty Title: 386th EFSS vendor liaison/ non-appropriated funds custodian Home unit/station: 366th Force Support Squadron, Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho How do you support the mission here? I serve as a link between 386th EFSS and vendors by providing accountability of vendor funds and initiating the paperwork necessary for clearance to work on "The Rock." As the Flex NAF custodian, I ensure the gift card and resale operation programs run smoothly. How many times have you deployed and what makes this one unique? This is my third deployment. What makes this one unique is the fact that I've had an opportunity to work in recreation and have a direct impact on the morale of the Airmen stationed here. How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? At home, I am the honor guard non commissioned officer in charge. I spend more time working hands-on with them as opposed to my job here working with many agencies. While I did not expect to be in my current position, I consider it a privilege. I love both jobs! A good description would be like comparing apples to oranges. They're very different but at the same time so good!
