ABOUT SHANNON W. WALKER

Whether its bullets or bacon, antennas or aspirin I ensure the Navy and its Sailors have the crucial supplies and transportation means needed to successfully complete missions. I provide the inventory, organization, and careful transport of the materials and resources needed by the Navy\'s Sailors, ships, squadrons, submarines, and shore stations around the world. This worldwide effort requires strong leadership, organization, and strategic planning skills. I ensure materials needed by ships, squadrons, submarines, and shore facilities are available and in good order. As one of the Navy’s true business managers and a member of the Navy Supply Corps, I perform executive-level duties in inventory control, financial management, physical distribution systems, petroleum management, personnel transportation, and other related areas. I can work on an aircraft carrier in the South China Sea or in the Pentagon as a Budget Officer. My knowledge of logistics saves hours of time getting critical supplies to Sailors in the field. As a Supply, Transportation, and Logistics Officer I also:* Analyze the demand for supplies and forecast future needs * Manage the inspection, shipping, handling, and packaging of supplies and equipment * Direct personnel who receive inventory and issue supplies and equipment * Evaluate bids and proposals submitted by potential suppliers * Study ways to use space and distribute supplies efficiently * Determine the fastest, most economic way to transport cargo or personnel * Oversee the handling of special items, such as medicine and explosives
