Staff Sgt. Jeremy J. Kinney
Contracting Noncommissioned Officer
928th Contingency Contracting Battalion
Grafenwoehr, Germany
Describe your current position:
Currently I'm working in the 928th CCBn Plans and Operations Cell. I am responsible for the coordination of all mandatory and contract-specific training for military, Department of the Army civilians and local nationals. I also answer taskers from higher headquarters, assist in all coordination and planning for 11 exercises and five real-world missions in Turkey, Georgia and in the Baltic region. I assist in all personnel functions within the battalion to include personnel status reporting, leave tracking, schools packet submissions and more.
Describe your professional background:
I graduated Mission Airmen Ready Contracting Apprentice course July 20 and have just recently applied for Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act Level I accreditation. I am currently working toward a bachelor's degree in business management and I expect to be finished in 2015.
Tell us more:
I was born and raised in West Plains, Missouri, but I call Clarksville, Tennessee, my home. I am currently married to Sarah Kinney and have one daughter, Hannah. I also have two dogs, Mabel and Bella, which think they run the house. In my spare time, I enjoy woodworking and golfing.
How does your job support the Soldier:
Being in the position that I am in, it allows me to look at a larger picture other than just the day-to-day contracting mission. I understand that the contracts being executed not only serve the warfighter but the families and the communities in which they reside.
