Bio

It was my honor to serve in personnel because it was a way to thank those who gave of themselves by way of due diligence on paper: Retirement packets; Award Packets; Good Conduct Medals and ID Cards for members and their families. Since leaving the service, I have continued to "sharpen the pen" and I would love to be able to use what I now know to market Veteran owned Companies. Maybe yours. Wanda Vergara-Yates is a writer, poet, and amateur painter. Her most recent adventures are being collected into a humorous advice anthology that will be titled "How to Get Your Book to Write Itself." The first novel is still in progress.

Military Experiences

Aug 1992 - Jul 1995

MILPO Personnel Clerk

111th MI BDE, USAICoE, TRADOC | Fort Huachuca, AZ

ID & DEERS; GCMD Clerk, POR

Nov 1990 - Jun 1992

Awards Clerk (Corps Level)

V Corps HQ, V Corps, USAREUR | Frankfurt, Germany

High profile awards processing at Corps Level; monitoring progress actions pending. Write/edit as needed. I learned more about writing well while performing this job than anything I ever learned before or since. In the process of editing others I lost my voice and had to find it.

Apr 1989 - Oct 1990

Retirement Clerk (Corps Level)

V Corps HQ, V Corps, USAREUR | Frankfurt, Germany

Processed all retirements for time of service at Corps Level; Note that I cut the orders. It was my successor that had to rescind/revoke them due to Stop/Loss. Everyone loved me and hated him. Poor guy.

Mar 1988 - Feb 1989

ID & DEERS Clerk

USACAC | Fort Leavenworth, KS

ID Card processing/DEERS enrollment. It was a fun job because I was the peon fresh out of training with no responsibility. Smile for the camera sweety...
