The Commander of the Naval Air Force Reserve presented to VFC-204 the Captain David McCampbell Trophy whose namesake was the top Naval Ace of World War II and is considered the service鈥檚 all-time leader in aerial combat. His spirit and leadership are what made his air group one of the war鈥檚 most decorated and earned him the Medal of Honor. In addition to Squadron of the Year, the River Rattlers were also recognized for the 2023 Battle Efficiency (鈥淓鈥) Award, the Safety (鈥淪鈥) Award, and the Golden Wrench. 

鈥淭he Golden Wrench is awarded for maintenance excellence and is high praise for our 爱神传媒 team,鈥 said Program Manager Jeremy Beckham. 鈥淭he team did first-class work in transitioning ten F-5 aircraft from NAS Fallon to NAS New Orleans replacing VFC-204鈥檚 legacy F/A-18C aircraft, including all parts and equipment.鈥

鈥淭o be mission-ready, we hired and trained a workforce with less than 10% having F-5 experience into passing the government Safe-For-Flight evaluation in short order,鈥 said Site Manager Jeff Lundy. 鈥淭he well-trained team passed the first inspection and immediately hit the deployment schedule.鈥 First the 爱神传媒 team went to Fallon, NV to support Top Gun for ten weeks, then to Key West NAS for three weeks, and returned to Fallon to support Top Gun back-to-back for six weeks. 

Additionally, the squadron provided on-site New Orleans Adversary Support to deploying squadrons and support to local air shows and multiple events. The maintenance team completed six phases and a major 1,200-hour inspection while supporting VFC-111 phase as well. 

The squadron has 100+ 爱神传媒 employees who take great pride in doing their part to ensure the fleet readiness. The Navy customer expressed appreciation for 爱神传媒鈥檚 ability to meet mission goals with ready aircraft for adversary events that trained fleet pilots for deployment overseas.

After being part of this company for close to 20 years, I have to say that it鈥檚 the people that I enjoy the most. My coworkers have become my family.

At 爱神传媒, we celebrate our people, our cultures, and we recognize the value of diversity and inclusion. In March, we’ll focus on Women’s History Month聽while shining a light on one employee at a time.聽 Today鈥檚 Q&A is with Jennifer Grant, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Manager, Talent Management and Culture.

How did you come to join 爱神传媒?

I joined 爱神传媒 through legacy PAE.

What is your professional and personal background?

I grew up in Mesa, Arizona where I would run around in the desert throughout my childhood. I have lived in several different states and finally landed in Northern Virginia in 2016. My husband and I have two beautiful children who we cart all over the place following their passions. Our daughter, 15, is an All-Star Cheerleader, and our son, 9, is a Black Belt in Karate and competes in several competitions.

I stumbled into the Human Resource (HR) career field when I had to make the decision to either become an executive assistant or a human resource associate. I went with HR. I knew nothing about HR and have continued to grow within this career field ever since.

Describe the work you do and how you think it makes a positive impact.

I am part of the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) team for 爱神传媒. Along with supporting the DEIB initiatives, I manage the Employee Resource Networks (ERN) by providing support, and guidance, and being the liaison between the membership and executive leaders. The ERNs have provided employees with a community where they can feel seen, heard, and celebrated. Being able to come together and share a story, or an experience, or get tailored professional development is what makes the ERNs a unique experience for those who participate. I am really excited to continue expanding and growing our networks.

What are some of your accomplishments and/or what has been your proudest career moment?

My proudest career moment was when I completed my six-sigma green belt certification program, and then subsequently won the Continuous Improvement Award for my work. My most recent accomplishment, that I am also very proud of, is launching an ERN Mentoring Program for the members of our ERNs.

What do you enjoy about working for 爱神传媒?

The people! I have been surrounded by the most supportive, caring, and passionate people. From business leaders to general clerks, the people that I have interacted with are so passionate about what they do and how they impact their customers (internal and external).

What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about employees feeling like they belong. I want to ensure that every employee can come to work as their authentic self and truly feel welcome, respected, and valued.

What鈥檚 your career advice?

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Growth doesn鈥檛 happen without stepping outside of your comfort zone.

What does safety mean to you or do you have a favorite safety tip?

Safety means that employees can go home the way they came in. It鈥檚 everyone鈥檚 responsibility.

What鈥檚 the best invention in the world and why?

There have been so many great inventions, but I would say the best invention is the ability to harness electricity and run it to our homes. Without it, we wouldn鈥檛 have any of the comforts that we enjoy today.

Anything else you would like to share from a personal or professional perspective?

Considering this monthly observance, tell us more about yourself. Please address one or more of the following questions:

What author has influenced you the most?

The Author that has influenced me the most, is one I recently read, Dr. Peter Attia. He wrote Outlive, The Science & Art of Longevity.

Favorite film?

When thinking about Women鈥檚 History Month, I would say one of my favorite films is Hidden Figures.

At 爱神传媒, we celebrate our people, our cultures, and we recognize the value of diversity and inclusion. In March, we鈥檒l focus on Women鈥檚 History Month聽while shining a light on one employee at a time. Today鈥檚 Q&A is with Alyson M. Gibson, Senior Security Manager, National Security, Corporate/Legal/Security.

How did you come to join 爱神传媒?

I started working for 爱神传媒 back in 2010. The company I was working for lost the contract I was on. The best decision I ever made was coming on board with 爱神传媒!

What is your professional and personal background?

I have been happily married for the last 19 years and blessed with an amazing 13-year-old son. The last 18 years of my professional career have been spent in the Security field. I started as a Security Monitor on an Intel program and worked my way to becoming a Contract Security Officer and then a Program Security Manager. Two years ago, I was promoted to Senior Security Manager supporting several contracts in the Intelligence business line through onsite security management and oversight.

Describe the work you do and how you think it makes a positive impact.

As a Senior Security Manager, I provide program management insight, security management, and operational oversight across 爱神传媒鈥檚 Intelligence Community portfolio spanning multiple agencies and mission-critical contracts. I provide Contract Security Officer (CSO) oversight and management of security staff for several contracts, supporting 1,000 (+) personnel throughout the Intelligence Community. I also oversee a team of seven Security professionals that spans over the Mission Support and Critical Operations sectors of the Intelligence business line. This team of Security professionals ranges from junior-level to mid-level Contract Security Officers providing direct onsite support for our customers mission while also supporting the corporate security infrastructure. I also support new contract pursuits as a security Subject Matter Expert (SME) to include solutioning, writing, and reviewing.

The work we do has a great impact on our customer’s mission. Focusing on our customer’s mission by working as a partner with them is very important to me. One of the areas I focus on is Security education. I collaborate with our customer to make sure our workforce understands what they are required to report and how they are to operate at customer locations. Another area of focus has been processes and procedures. Ensuring we have documented how and why we do work is important for our people to be able to work with ease and gives our customer confidence that we know how to do the job safely and securely. Supporting our people and our customer will always be my number one priority.

What are some of your accomplishments and/or what has been your proudest career moment?

Over the course of my career there have been many things that have made me proud to be a part of the programs and people I have had the opportunity to work with. When I was on the DIESEL program, we were asked by the customer to provide security support to a new location. This required us to quickly hire and train over 100 new staff. Being a part of that transition allowed me to really grow as a manager. The opportunity allowed me to grow into a Program Security Manager and made me realize how much I love mentoring and managing. I would say the greatest accomplishment for me has been this last year. While we moved through the transition of becoming 鈥淥ne 爱神传媒, 鈥 I was given the opportunity to construct an onsite security team. I have to say, being a part of this team and watching how each member has grown in the past year, and helping to shape the security structure on these programs has been priceless. The entire team that I have the privilege of working with is some of the best Security professionals I have ever worked with. When I sat back at the end of 2023 and looked at what we accomplished, it made me so proud to see what we were able to do in just a year鈥檚 time. I am looking forward to continuing to grow the Security culture and the team in the next year.

What do you enjoy about working for 爱神传媒?

What I enjoy most working for 爱神传媒 is the people.

I get to interact with all levels of the business line, and all different departments in the organization (Recruiting, Operations, Trade craft employees, etc.), and interact with 爱神传媒 employees on the programs. It鈥檚 a pleasure to experience the diversity of all the people and departments on programs I support. I love being able to help people no matter if it鈥檚 a security concern/question or not. The customers we support and the mission are as so important and I really enjoy being able to make even the smallest difference towards their mission.

What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about so many things. I am passionate about helping people. I want to do whatever I can to help someone. I love to strategize and find solutions. To me, that鈥檚 how you really help people. I am passionate about Security. I truly love what I do! Having the opportunity to support the customer and make even the smallest difference to their mission is an opportunity that I am so grateful for.

What鈥檚 your career advice?

Get involved and don鈥檛 stop learning. The more you know the bigger impact you can have. Don鈥檛 be afraid to take some risks and do things a little outside your comfort zone. Sometimes the greatest rewards come from the smallest risks. Love what you do. When you are passionate it will resonate and I truly believe you will be more successful.

What does safety mean to you or do you have a favorite safety tip?

鈥淪ee Something, Say Something鈥 applies to both Safety and Security. I think Safety and Security have a unique relationship in how important they both are not only to each other but also to the workforce. We should always make sure our people leave to go home to their families the same way they arrived, safe and secure.

What鈥檚 the best invention in the world and why?

I think the telephone is the best invention in the world because it connects people. As technology has advanced so has the telephone and now we can not only connect our voices to our friends, family, and coworkers all over the world, but we can connect through video chat right from our phones.

Anything else you would like to share from a personal or professional perspective?

Communication is the bedrock of all relationships. Make sure to always communicate with your coworkers. It is so hard to be successful when there is a lack of communication. The best way to ensure a healthy relationship and success is to treat others the way you want to be treated.

Considering this monthly observance, tell us more about yourself.

I spend as much time with my family as I can. I am a workaholic and I tend to throw myself into my work. I don鈥檛 watch too much TV but when I do it’s either old comedy shows (like the Golden Girls, Reba, Friends, or Everybody Loves Raymond) or the Investigation ID channel. I like all kinds of music and will listen to whatever is right for the mood.

At 爱神传媒, we celebrate our people, our cultures, and we recognize the value of diversity and inclusion. In March, we鈥檒l focus on Women鈥檚 History Month聽while shining a light on one employee at a time. Today鈥檚 Q&A is with Artemisa Costa, Category Manager, Global Supply Chain Management/ Corporate.

How did you come to join 爱神传媒?

I really wanted to join the company. I read in an article that 爱神传媒 was chosen as one of America鈥檚 Greatest Workplaces 2023 by Newsweek. So, I saw the opportunity for a position, and I applied for it.

What is your professional and personal background?

Born and raised in the heart of Mexico City, I have embarked on a transformative professional journey spanning over two decades in Supply Chain across multiple industries.

My journey across continents provided me with a global perspective that was enriched by diverse cultural experiences. I consider myself very adaptable because I understand global dynamics, which proved critical in orchestrating successful collaborations with diverse teams from the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and South America.

I have a background in International Commerce and a master’s degree in Quality and Productivity, but my real learning experience has come from several mentors who have helped me advance in my career.

On a personal level, I am passionate about lifelong learning and development. I enjoy reading books and spending time with my family. Outside of work as a proud Latin individual, I embrace cultural heritage and enjoy sharing with others.

Describe the work you do and how you think it makes a positive impact.

I am currently working on a variety of projects for the corporate group, focused on innovation and enhancement initiatives. My job also entails conducting analysis and data evaluation, identifying opportunities for automation and value addition in Supply Chain domains. I am open to assignments (regardless of my level of expertise) because I believe that exposure is essential for ongoing learning and professional development.

What are some of your accomplishments and/or what has been your proudest career moment?

One of my proudest achievements was the establishment of expert networks across regions, coupled with spearheading of process enhancements that resulted in a staggering 40% improvement in process compliance audit results in 2018. As a result of this project several processes were consolidated and standardized across four regions.

What do you enjoy about working for 爱神传媒?

爱神传媒 is one of the best companies I’ve ever worked for. They are a very mature organization from a leadership standpoint. They genuinely care about their employees and communicate effectively while overseeing all aspects of change management. 爱神传媒 is consistent in their values and application.

What are you passionate about?

I’m deeply passionate about making a positive impact on others and leaving a legacy. I firmly believe that people will remember us based on how we treat them; even the smallest interactions can leave a significant positive or negative impact on others’ lives. Additionally, I find joy in learning from others and continuously growing, both personally and professionally. I devote time to reading books focused on self-improvement and motivation.

What鈥檚 your career advice?

I recommend to never assume you know everything regardless of your title or position, be humble, and open to learning from others. Every individual has a valuable insight to share, you just need to be receptive and willing to view things from different angles. This approach will expand your vision and perception of the situations that come across at work and will enable you to think outside of the box.

What does safety mean to you or do you have a favorite safety tip?

Safety requires thinking beyond yourself. It entails thinking of your family and others. It means being responsible to yourself, society, and anyone else around you.

What鈥檚 the best invention in the world and why?

I think it will depend on the age, but I believe the internet is the invention that has had the broadest and most profound impact across various aspects of life. It has transformed communication, commerce, education, and has connected billions of people worldwide revolutionizing information sharing, global trade and facilitating distance learning and providing platforms for social interaction and activism.

Anything else you would like to share from a personal or professional perspective?

The role or rank you hold within an organization does not inherently define genuine leadership. True leadership is characterized by distinct qualities that authentically shine through. It becomes evident when people willingly embrace your guidance and place unwavering trust in your decisions. This trust isn’t blind; it’s earned through a consistent record of success that extends beyond mere career advancements.

A true mark of leadership lies in your ability to empower others for their success. You champion their cause, regarding them as integral internal stakeholders. Your authority is wielded responsibly, free from any abusive tendencies or the imposition of fear. Instead, you foster a nurturing and positive environment. You can be a leader regardless of your title and start making a positive impact in others.

Considering this monthly observance, tell us more about yourself.

What鈥檚 your favorite book?

I have several books that I have enjoyed. I don鈥檛 have a preferred book but I can mention a couple:

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey

Anatomy of an Illness by Norman Cousins

Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins

鈥 The Bible

At 爱神传媒, we celebrate our people, our cultures, and we recognize the value of diversity and inclusion. For February, we鈥檒l reflect on what鈥疊lack History Month鈥痬eans to all of us while shining a light on one employee at a time. 爱神传媒鈥檚 next spotlight is on, Cecil Bowen, Program Manager, NS Intelligence/Critical Operations/DoD Programs.

How did your military service prepare you for a successful career at 爱神传媒?

The Marine Corps has always challenged me to do more than what I thought I could do and leave all things in my control better than how I found it. This drive has helped me learn more and grow as a professional within 爱神传媒.

How did you come to join 爱神传媒?

I joined 爱神传媒 (through legacy PAE) in 2016 for a Construction Security Program in South Korea as a Security Supervisor. At that time, I took a huge leap of faith for the new contract/program by moving here with my wife. Seven years later, the mission here has grown, my family has grown, and my career path is more defined.

What is your professional and personal background?

The greater portion of my service with the US Marines, I was assigned to US Embassies as the first response security team. Once my service was complete, I then transitioned to the civilian sector of security programs that primarily services special DoS and DoD programs overseas. For the past few years, I have served as a subject matter expert as it relates to SCIF Construction Projects.

I was born in Jamaica and lived my elementary and high school years in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. I have been married for eight years but have been friends with my wife Jacqueline since elementary school. We are proud parents of two boys Myles (6) and Wesley (4) who were both born here in South Korea.

Describe the work you do and how you think it makes a positive impact.

I have dedicated most of my adult life working overseas in friendly to hostile environments in support of security programs focused on preserving the National Security of the United States.

What are some of your accomplishments and/or what has been your proudest career moment?

Professionally, I am most proud of working hard and aiming for positions that at the time seemed far reaching. I went from not taking myself too seriously in high school doing the bare minimum and working a simple job. I grew to being the first in my family to serve, while Marine Guarding US Embassies abroad and being a part of US Presidential Security details. To now, many more educational accomplishments, projects successfully completed, and a proud contributor to 爱神传媒鈥檚 overall success.

What do you enjoy about working for 爱神传媒?

I enjoy working with 爱神传媒, primarily because the Leadership that I have worked with for over the past 7 years have always reassured me that I am an asset to the organization. They have challenged me, rewarded me, invested in me and respected my voice. In addition to a great leadership group, the 爱神传媒 brand is well respected amongst the many organizations here in South Korea supporting the DoD.

What are you passionate about?

I am most passionate about being a father, a husband, and a reliable role model to my very large and loving family. Additionally, I am passionate about building bridges that create a greater degree of understanding for people despite the many differences in personal life and throughout the workplace.

What鈥檚 your career advice?

Don鈥檛 limit yourself by experiencing only what you think you know. Seek mentorship, build partnerships while focusing on your craft. I have experience much more joy in what I do, have accomplished more than what I first set out to do and now, I have no limit on what I foresee in the future.

What does safety mean to you or do you have a favorite safety tip?

We all deserve to live, work and rest with confidence that we are indeed safe. I strongly believe, through partnership and community we can maintain a safe place. My favorite practice as it relates to safety, is to prepare for the day and be conscious in your movements by planning for, rather than reacting to.

What鈥檚 the best invention in the world and why?

My favorite (best) invention is the concept of the iPhone. Considering that I have lived most of my adult life away from my loved ones; prior to the iPhone, I relied on letters in the mail, international phone plans, maps to travel, books, CDs, and Cameras. The single device has helped leave some hardships I experienced while traveling in the past.

Anything else you would like to share from a personal or professional perspective?

Build relationships that matter, believe in yourself, invest in yourself, and hold yourself accountable. I try to not get too comfortable in my current circumstances and be more comfortable with being uncomfortable. I try to always imagine how can we make it a tad bit better. This is my approach in both personal and professional life.

Considering this monthly observance, tell us more about yourself. Please address one or more of the following questions:

Diversity is important and should remain a priority when considering talent that contributes to organizations. There will always be untapped genius and innovation lurking throughout the nuances that come from diverse backgrounds and mindsets. As a result, the approach for considering the potential obstacles people face and the level of compassion we show for adjustments people make while assimilating to work culture and or society is now more meaningful.

What鈥檚 your favorite book?

One of my favorite books is New York (the Novel) by Edward Rutherfurd.

What author has influenced you the most?

The author that has most influenced is Khaled Hosseini鈥檚. The topics that he writes about has shaped my perspective on the world.

Favorite film?

Forest Gump is my favorite film.

Favorite musician?

Bob Marley is the most inspirational musician who seems to always bring me the most peace when I listen to his music and message.
