“I think it means a lot to be recognized. It is always great for the commands to recognize their employees, and it is really fulfilling. I try my best to work as hard as I can, so I really appreciate that it is seen, and it means a lot to have the people I work with have faith in me, put my name out there, and that I was able to get the award,” said Ailinger.

It means a lot to know that effort is appreciated by leadership and my coworkers. I believe well done is better than well said, and I’ll continue to live by that,” said Paull.

Kristian Stennett, an IT project manager for the Logistics Solutions department, received the NAVSUP BSC Leader of the Year award for his transformational leadership.
