Julieta Nishiki
Operation Squad Associate
Camp Zama Exchange – Zama Main Store
When US Army Japan Home requested Yama Sakura exercise support at multiple locations from the Camp Zama Exchange, Operation Squad Associate Julie Nishiki did not hesitate to volunteer! Not only did Julie assist, she also took the initiative and the lead role with preparing the items to ship to the exercise as well as setting up the mobile PX at Sagami Depot. Julie has done an excellent job tracking the sales and the site’s inventory levels for resupply shipments. Julie has also been the primary cashier, serving the 700 troops at Sagami Depot. Total sales of $60,000. Great job, Julie!
Jade Luke
Warehouse Worker
Hawaii Exchange, Schofield Main Store
Ms. Luke has been a valued member of the Hawaii Exchange family for 10 years, and her dedication was recently recognized as she developed visual guides to simplify the process for stocker and other store associates in identifying products eligible for return-to-vendor credit in Departments 20 and 83. These visual guides, along with accompanying procedures, allowed Jade to retrieve more than $255,000 YTD in damaged and defective merchandise by processing return-to-vendor authorizations in a timely and accurate manner. Furthermore, Jade serves as the chairwoman for the AEJS program across all Exchange facilities on the north side of Oahu.
Ms. Reiko Yoshida
Owner
Hana Mitsuimoya Food Truck, Misawa Exchange
Ms. Reiko Yoshida is the owner of the Hana Mitsuimoya Sweet Potato Food Truck, a new food truck concession for Misawa Exchange since October 2024. She has quickly made a name for herself as she recorded 233 transactions in just four days totaling $1,940 in sales. Reiko is creative in coming up with a vast assortment of sweet potato treats, which continue to be wildly popular with the Misawa community. As winter is upon us, her hot, delicious sweet potato treats will provide a warm respite from the cold months ahead.
