ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- TACOM Life Cycle Management Command recently named Jeremy Barnett their Leader of the Quarter for the third quarter of fiscal year 2016.
Barnett, a supervisor for the Directorate of Public Works' Production Equipment Electric Shop has been an employee of Anniston Army Depot since 2002.
He began his civilian career as a way to continue giving back to his country.
From 1988-1992, Barnett served as a communications security repairman and paratrooper for the U.S. Army.
Following his time in service, he worked for an electronics company before going into mining in North Carolina.
He kept an eye out for an opportunity to come back home, however.
"I grew up less than 10 miles outside the depot's main gate," said Barnett.
In 2002, he was selected as a machine tool operator in the depot's Turbine Engine Shop. From there, he worked in several production areas before transferring into the Electric Shop in 2012.
After working as an electronic industrial controls mechanic for a few years, Barnett was selected as his shop's leader, then was promoted to supervisor following the 2015 reorganization.
"I have an excellent crew to work with here," said Barnett.
The electric shop is a reactive organization, responding when production equipment throughout the Nichols Industrial Complex needs repair.
