Our very own Mike Naylor was invited to Ramona High School to speak to NJROTC cadets about careers in the military.
Mike told the cadets stories of his own life, from living on a farm in Pennsylvania to flying Marine One for George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
Mixing in a variety of life lessons and stories, Mike invited the cadets to ask themselves both what they want to be when they grow up, and also who they want to be. One of his big points was to remind the students to work hard at every job they have.
“No matter what the job, do your best until you find a job you really like. When you find a job you really enjoy then you don’t have a job you have a career.”
We thank Mike Naylor for his commitment to educating and supporting future military leaders in our community!

We are happy to share the Thanksgiving festivities that our PKL employees coordinated in Saudi Arabia. Bringing together contractors from around the world, the group celebrated a traditional Thanksgiving day and enjoyed a generous feast!
In the words of our Program Manager, Paul King:
“In cooperation with active duty Air Force personnel, we put together a Thanksgiving dinner for over 125 people on the compound. PKL employees contributed their own money to make this happen and provided set-up, tear-down and cooking for the festivities. The leads on this were Jomar Rivera Rosa and Dwight Brooks with Leo Babich and other guys pitching in. It was a great event and all American, British and French contractors on the compound shared an American tradition and raved about the event.”
Thank you to all of our dedicated and considerate PKL employees for putting together such a wonderful event!

We would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our RESET contract team lead, Bobby Workman. While in Afghanistan, overseeing our team deployed there, Bobby ensured that our team adhered to tight deadlines and quality work.

Thank you, Bobby, for your continued dedication to and leadership of our team!

Recently, PKL acquired a second building to accommodate our Corporate staff. We are very fortunate to be a growing company and we outgrew our current headquarters building. We were able to secure another building right across the parking lot. As we processed the changes and moved people from one building to another, the inevitable question of how we would refer to each building arose. Based on geography, the new building started being referred to as PKL North. The name stuck, and now our original building is officially referred to as PKL South.

PKL Services, Inc. has grown significantly over the last 10 years! Originally founded in 2003, PKL was based at MCAS Miramar and our few staff members worked in vans on the base. At the time, we had just a few employees working in our Corporate capacity. Now we have grown to over 20 employees in our Corporate offices and we are spread over two office buildings!
We thank all of our employees, past and present, who have helped us grow successfully over the last 10 years. We look forward to a bright future and more growth ahead!

Our Corporate staff celebrated Cinco de Mayo in style this year! A potluck with contributions from all the staff fed everyone a healthy dose of Mexican food. Everyone got in the spirit, sporting sombreros and enjoying the variety of food and desserts.
