Duty as a Supply Officer

Transcript

As a Supply Officer on base, see we had warehousing and stock control for example. Stock control were the people who were responsible to get the part. My first job was warehousing. The stock control people would get it in, my job would be to store it, know where it is, identify it, so on and so forth, and get it to whomever needs it when required. We would maintain the aircraft by, they ensured the bits and pieces, parts, whatever available to do a repair or we know how to get a part within x number of days due to the operational requirement, they called it. If there was some air craft on the ground, so we need a part by tomorrow. So we have to go through special procedures to get it in from where ever within the time frame.
