Forrest and George,
I am not sure if you know about BRAVO ZULUs (BZ) - They are a pat on the
back - a job well done, and/or a feather in the cap so to speak, issued by
the commanding officer of a NAVY vessel or Project, to a team or an
individual that has performed above and beyond. IT IS A BIG DEAL - in that a
commanding officer takes the time to recognize superior effort.
A BZ is a recognition of the team or an individual's superior efforts and it
is sent out to the highest levels of command or management. John (BUD)
Oriott has been so recognized by the Commanding Officer of the AAG Project
for his outstanding work on the Peculiar Support Equipment Analysis (PSE)
performed to support JCTS and the AAG Program.
I am pleased to forward the below email I received from the Captain
(Commanding Officer) of the AAG Project Capt. James Donnelly. This email
recognizes that the people we have on this project are valuable team members
to AAG.
I know I tell the guys all the time how wonderful they are and how important
the work we do is to the Navy. I also tell them that their long hours are
appreciated and important. Sometimes it feel those words coming from me
sound like "glad handing" and maybe ALION and Mike appreciate the effort -
but the NAVY is blind to our efforts...... WELL the email attached below
shows that someone is noticing superior efforts that our staff is putting
forward.
John (BUD), along with George and the entire staff you have put in in place
over the years at JCTS have done outstanding work - and this includes "A",
Leila, and you for going above and beyond "normal" support. For the NAVY and
especially the Commanding Officer of the AAG Project to recognize BUD's
effort is an OUTSTANDING accomplishment. It reflects well on BUD, and
therefore C&H Industrial Services and Alion.
Please pass along my congratulations and appreciation to BUD and the entire
team - as I know Bud is a humble man and will share this acknowledgement
with the entire team. While the short email forwarded below might not seem
like much - let me assure you - it is a tremendous accomplishment for Bud
and all of us.
I am PROUD to know and work as a member of the ALION/C&H Industrial Services
Team with individuals like BUD participating.
Sincerely,
Mike Maloney
Assistant Vice President
