VMFAT-101 Employees Awarded the Hammer Award

May 9, 2014

We are thrilled to announce that two PKL employees on the VMFAT-101 contract at MCAS Miramar were presented with the Hammer Award recently. This award is traditionally only presented to active duty personnel, so the opportunity to have this awarded to two of our civilian employees is exceptional!

The Hammer Award was “created in 2010 to recognize the performance of VMFAT-101 Maintainers. Recipients are recognized for exemplifying the dedication and technical expertise that have become the foundation of the VMFAT-101 Maintenance Department.”

Both Brandon Nardin and Nate Stuart were presented the award for their “high level of situational awareness and attention to detail” which prevented damage to the aircraft and a potential mishap. The Commanding Officer acknowledged both men for their performance and for setting the standard for the Maintenance Department.

A job well done by both employees! Keep up the exceptional work!

Appreciation for a Contract Well Completed

February 5, 2014

Yesterday, after 5 years of dedicated commitment to our NAVAIR RESET contract, we had to say goodbye to a number of our employees from Camp Pendleton, CA; Cherry Point, NC; and New River, NC. These employees worked diligently to ensure contract requirements were met, and often exceeded. Their professionalism defines the company we have become.

Though it is a reality of the industry in which we work, it is never easy to watch a contract end and to have to watch dedicated employees leave the company.

We can, however, thank them for their years of hard work and exceptional performance.

And not only do we acknowledge and appreciate the commitment our employees have exhibited, but our customers do too.

Our Camp Pendleton employees were treated to a ceremony and breakfast where they were presented with Letters of Appreciation from the squadron Commanding Officer, LtCol Valdez.

Mike Naylor Speaks to Ramona High School NJROTC Students

December 17, 2013

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!

 

Thanksgiving in Saudi Arabia

December 1, 2013

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!
