127 Years of Family Serving Family: Tracy Danielson, Warehouse Foreman, Minot AFB

One in a series honoring the Exchange’s 127 years of family serving family.

Who she is: Tracy Danielson, Warehouse Foreman, Minot AFB

Years with the Exchange: 41 years

Military connections: Danielson comes from a family with extensive military service. “My husband retired in 1995 after 20 years in the Air Force. My father also retired from the Air Force, and three of my brothers and three of my brothers-in-law all served.”

What she did at first: Tracy began her AAFES career working for the Run-In Chef at Nellis AFB from 1977 to 1979.

From part-time to full-time: She then worked at the Eielson AFB Exchange full-service gas station before moving to Minot AFB in 1988.  There, she worked her way up through multiple positions, finally landing her current full-time role as the warehouse foreman in 2002.

What she does now: Danielson makes sure products get from receiving to the shelves for Minot Airmen and their families.

“My job hopefully makes the military members’ and their families’ lives a little better or a little easier.”

Family serving family: “What I think of when I hear the term ‘family serving family’ is we each have our own family, as well as our Exchange family and our military family. We receive love from our own family, camaraderie from our Exchange family and security from our military family. We’re all here serving each other.”
