We know our employees make our company great. Without their hard work and dedication, we would not succeed. We appreciate the opportunity to showcase our employees hard at work supporting our customers.
We recently visited our employees at MCAS Miramar in San Diego, CA. We have approximately 150 personnel working on our RESET and VMFAT-101 contracts at this location. Our teams at Miramar perform aerospace maintenance service and logistics support for the U.S. Marine Corps working on rotary wing aircraft, including the CH-53E helicopter, and fixed wing aircraft, including the FA-18 A/B/C/D. We are grateful for their exceptional work and thank them for their dedication to PKL!

An article was written and published recently on DVIDS discussing the ways in which MCAS Miramar stays safety smart. Written by Lance Cpl. Christopher Johns, the article highlights the types of safety training that supervisors must complete. During his tour of the site Lance Cpl. Johns took photos of Marines and Contractors working on the aircraft. We are pleased to share that our hard-working (and safety conscious!) employee, Blair Hencratt was one of the people photographed for the article.
Thank you Blair for taking safety seriously! You are a great example of our outstanding employees.
