Joyce's Story
Life
I graduated from Vashon in 1972. I moved to Fort Leonard Wood MO in October 1976 after marrying Raymond Denzmore. I started work for Department of the Army - a civil service job - in Feb 1977 at Fort Leonard Wood. Raymond and I divorced in 1979 and I remarried Randy Short in 1980. Randy was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood. I had two children when I married Raymond but he and I had no kids together. Randy and I had two boys, Main and Donnie. Main is now 24 and Donnie is 20. The two girls I had in high school are now 37 and 33. One lives in New York and the other in Seattle. We do not have any grandchildren although we're hopeful that we'll have some soon.
Workplace
I started work in 1976 for Department of the Army at Fort Leonard Wood. I got an intern job while there. I went to work for Department of the Army in Alabama in 1983. I stayed in Anniston AL until Mar 1985 when I moved to...Expand for more
Indianapolis to take another Government job with Army. By this time I was a GS-12 HR professional. As I moved up I took on my responsibility, became first a supervisor, GS-13 then a manager, GS-14 in HR. By this time I'd managed up to 50 people. In 1997 I changed fields and moved into HR information technology at the GS-14 still working for Department of Defense. I was promoted to GS-15 in 1998 and in 2000 became the director of an HR shared services center and HR info systems manager for DFAS, a DoD activity in Indianapolis. Just recently (August 2005) I left Indy and Department of Defense to take a senior executive position with NASA managing their shared services center in Stennis MS. Stennis is on the MS gulf coast in the area hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. I had only been there a week when I had to evacuate. I am working temporarily in DC (until Jan 2006) when I'll be going back to MS.
