🔱 Congratulations to Trident Maritime Systems HEG Program Manager, Joey Albanys in being presented the Patriot Award.
This is a very exciting award that Joey received for all his support to Logan Poll while he was preparing for his departure and during his deployment. We have amazing employees here and it's an honor and privilege to support an active military employee.
Script from Logan:
"The first in ESGR's series of awards is the Patriot Award. The Patriot Award reflects the efforts made to support citizen warriors through a wide range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families, and granting leaves of absence if needed.
Joey was nominated for his support from the hiring process to present day. When I had my first interviews with Joey, I was operating in Syria. He dealt with interviewing me in the pitch black with helicopters overhead, which I thought alone would eliminate me from the position of Project Coordinator. After a few rounds of interviews, the final one with Scott Sievert and Joey Albanys ended with them saying they had a good feeling about this, and to move forward in the process.
Once I was back, there was a brief few months where I was back to being a traditional guardsman, only committing a couple days a month. About a year ago, we got news that the 3-126 IN. was mobilizing for another rotation. The training up until then became much more disruptive, taking me out for sporadic weeks or months. Projects I was entrusted to lead had to be taken over, and Joey helped step in for guidance and completion with no complaints.
Now, about a year and a half later, I am returning to the same operation. The time I have spent with the Heavy Equipment Group has been filled with great memories. I cannot wait to return and develop further alongside this company, which is entrusted with pretty special work. I extend the most heartfelt thankfulness to Joey and the rest of the company for the relationships made and look forward to making more once I come back. Thank you for everything!"
Well done, gentlemen! We are proud to have you both on our team!
