Aviano's Finest - Italian Civilian Category Published July 24, 2009 AVIANO AIR BASE, Italy -- Unit: 603rd Air Control Squadron How long have you worked at Aviano Air Base: 20 years Title of address: Signora First & Last Name: Giuliana Pivetta Duty Title: Office Automation Clerk Name of town/city and Italian province you are from: San Vito al Tagliamento (PN) How do you support the 31st Fighter Wing mission? I provide administrative support to the commander and Airmen of the 603rd ACS, a highly expeditionary and combat-proven air control squadron. Ultimately, we support the 31st Fighter Wing by operating and maintaining a control and reporting center weapons system providing full spectrum support of aerospace power in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. What's one thing you've learned about America's history, people and culture? I've learned that Americans have a strong work ethic and that they are willing to share their knowledge and customs. What's one advantage of working with Americans? I have the opportunity to learn about different cultures, customs and religions. What's your favorite European destination and why? Ireland because it's so green and well kept. The people are also very friendly. Why I nominated Signora Pivetta as one of Aviano's Finest? "Quite frankly, she is one of the hardest working, most kind, and people oriented person I have met since I have been associated with the Air Force. Since Ms. Julie came onto the scene in the 603d, she has been an incredible asset. From designing Web pages, to assisting Airmen with local challenges, to solving Defense Travel System issues, she is a bona fide "rock star". It is my sincerest desire that the men and women of the 603d have the opportunity to work with Ms. Julie for many, many more years to come. We are very thankful for what she does for us as a squadron, a wing, and the U.S. Air Force." - Lt. Col. Matthew Smith, 603rd ACS commander
