Services sergeant provides food for the force Published Aug. 7, 2011 By Senior Airman Damon Kasberg 434th ARW Public Affairs GRISSOM AIR RESERVE BASE, Ind. -- Hundreds of Airmen travel across Indiana and the country to Grissom for their unit training assemblies each month, but only one arrives two days prior to ensure those hundreds are fed. For the last two years Staff Sgt. Danielle Taylor, 434th Force Support Squadron store room manager, has been driving to Grissom every Thursday before primary and alternate UTAs to meet food delivery trucks behind the dining facility and ensure the deliveries are correct. "She's here ten days a month on orders," said Master Sgt. Cinthia Webb, 434th Force Support Squadron services air reserve technician. "Sergeant Taylor is very dependable, and she's able to adapt and overcome challenges that arise." The Friday before a UTA Taylor prepares meal menus and makes certain that there is enough food for all the recipes used for each meal. During the UTA she works in the store room providing people with foods and material they need. Mondays after the UTA she is in charge of ordering more food, taking inventory, and calling all food vendors to ensure the orders have gone through. "I like what I do because people depend on me, and I like having that responsibility," said Taylor. The 434th FSS is part of the 434th Air Refueling Wing, which is the largest KC-135R Stratotanker unit in the Air Force Reserve Command. Stay connected with the 434th ARW on Facebook and Twitter.
