Vietnam Veteran shares his story with PaYS
By: Matthew Green 
In the heart of every Veteran lies a story of duty, sacrifice, and resilience. Lester Sherman, a man who never envisioned himself in a military uniform, found himself drafted into the Army, thrust into a world far from his own plans. Reflecting on his journey, Lester shares insights that resonate deeply with the Veteran community and beyond.
Lester's reflections turn somber as he recalls the harrowing sacrifices made by countless Veterans, particularly those who served during the Vietnam War. "What stands out in my mind are the horrible sacrifices many Veterans incurred, especially those that served in Vietnam," he shares. "The physical and mental toll of war weighs heavily on the minds and bodies of these Veterans, their struggles serving as a stark reminder of the true cost of freedom."
The Vietnam War, Lester notes, was met with widespread public disapproval, leading to a climate where Veterans were often treated poorly both during and after their service. "Veterans were treated very poorly while on duty and after discharge," he acknowledges. Despite facing adversity on multiple fronts, Veterans like Lester remained steadfast in their commitment to serving others.
Lester's message is one of gratitude and humility. "Serve others and don't take the benefits you have for granted. When you see a Veteran, thank him or her for their service," Lester emphasizes, reminding us of the importance of honoring those who have served.
In reflecting on the progress made in supporting Veterans, Lester highlights the pivotal role played by Vietnam Veterans. "Vietnam Veterans have been the force behind getting better benefits and medical and psychological care for Veterans that served post-Vietnam," he asserts. "Their advocacy and resilience have paved the way for improved support systems for Veterans of all generations."
"I never decided to join the Army, I was drafted," Lester begins. Lester found profound meaning in his service. "Service to others is a very rewarding experience," he reflects. This ethos became the cornerstone of Lester's life post-military, driving him to engage in charitable work that continues to this day through his involvement in the Kline Veterans Fund. The Kline Veterans Fund is a charitable organization that provides emergency housing assistance and support services to homeless and at-risk Veterans and their families in Southern Nevada.
Lester Sherman's journey is a testament to the enduring spirit of service and sacrifice that defines the Veteran community. His reflections serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of honoring and supporting those who have served our country selflessly. As we continue to navigate the complexities of a changing world, let us never forget the debt of gratitude we owe to our Veterans.
Women's History Month
As March unfolds, so too does a celebration of remarkable contributions, enduring struggles, and triumphant achievements of women throughout History. Women's History Month serves as a vital reminder of the incredible mark left by women in every facet of society, from politics and science to art and literature. It is a time to reflect on courageous trailblazers who shattered barriers, quietly paved the way, and support the ongoing fight for gender equality and female empowerment.

PaYS recognizes CASA Myrna Saldana-Trevino for Women's History Month
By: Crancena Ross 
March marks the celebration of Women's History Month, a time to honor the contributions and achievements of women throughout history. In recognition of this occasion, PaYS Marketer Crancena Ross interviewed CASA Myrna Saldana-Trevino who shares her reflection on the leadership role women have played in society.
Ms. Saldana-Trevino, as the CASA (TX), how do you see the role of women evolving within the military and its supporting Civilian positions? What opportunities do you believe exist for women in leadership roles?
Women have made significant strides in the military, while also recognizing the ongoing evolution of their roles. Taking on diverse roles, including combat positions, which were previously restricted, the evolution reflects a recognition of women's capabilities and contributions in various capacities with the Armed Forces. Advancements in gender equality policies and initiatives have opened more leadership opportunities for women.
The evolving role of women in the military and its supporting Civilian positions present a range of opportunities for women to excel in leadership roles. These opportunities are not only beneficial for individual career advancement but also contribute to the overall effectiveness and diversity of the organizations they serve. This fosters innovation, collaboration, and inclusivity, ultimately enhancing the success and resilience of military and Civilian institutions alike. 
Women's History Month is a time to celebrate the achievements of women. Can you share any personal experiences or challenges you've overcome in your career that might inspire other women to consider roles within the Army and supporting organizations?
Absolutely. Women's History Month holds special significance for me as it's a time to reflect on the remarkable achievements and contributions of women throughout history. In my career journey, I've encountered challenges that have tested my resilience and determination, but ultimately, they've served as opportunities for growth and empowerment.
One significant challenge I faced was breaking into a traditionally male-dominated field within the oil and gas industry. Early in my career, I often found myself in situations where I was the only woman in the room, which could be intimidating at times. However, I refused to let stereotypes or societal expectations limit my aspirations. Instead, I embraced the opportunity to challenge norms and unknowingly paved the way for other women to follow.
My journey is a testament to the fact that women have a vital role to play in all aspects. Our unique perspectives, skills, and talents bring invaluable diversity to the table and enhance the effectiveness of our teams.
To other women considering roles within the Army and supporting organizations, I would say this: Don't let fear or doubt hold you back. Believe in your abilities, pursue your passions relentlessly, and never underestimate the impact you can have. The path may not always be easy, but the rewards are immeasurable. Together in unity, we can continue to shatter glass ceilings and pave the way for future generations of women to thrive.
Recognizing the importance of diversity, how can programs like Army PaYS contribute to attracting and retaining talented women in various career paths?
Programs like Army PaYS play a vital role in attracting and retaining talented women by showcasing the Army's commitment to diversity and inclusion. By offering opportunities for women to pursue diverse career paths with clear pathways to Civilian employment, PaYS provides a supportive environment where women can thrive, knowing their skills and contributions are valued both in the military and beyond.
As a woman in a leadership role, what advice would you offer to young women aspiring to contribute to the military community or pursue careers that support Army missions, and how can they navigate and overcome potential obstacles in their journey?
As a woman in a leadership role, my advice to young women aspiring to contribute to the military community or support Army missions is to have confidence in themselves, and their capabilities and take care of themselves. I encourage them to pursue their passions relentlessly, seek out mentors, and never shy away from challenges. By staying resilient, focused, and determined, they can navigate and overcome any obstacles they encounter on their journey to success.

Bridging Military Experience to Civilian Success
By: Matthew Green 
PaYS Partner PennyMac, a mortgage company is committed to hiring Veterans in support of their transition from military to Civilian careers. Willard Messick has always been driven by a sense of responsibility, both to his family and to his future. Growing up as the second oldest of nine siblings, he understood the importance of paving his own path to success. This drive led him to join the Army, where he found not just a career, but a community and a path towards his educational aspirations.
It was during his tenure as a recruiter in the Army that Willard became familiar with the Army PaYS Program-a program designed to connect future Soldiers with prospective employers. Witnessing the evolution of the program over the years, Willard recognized its potential to bridge the gap between military service and Civilian employment.
Upon joining PennyMac almost two years ago, Willard was struck by the company's commitment to hiring Veterans. "PennyMac values the skills, work ethic, and can-do attitude the Army instills in Soldiers," he explains. "It's a win-win situation-Soldiers secure excellent careers, and PennyMac gains incredible employees."
Transitioning from the Army to PennyMac wasn't Willard's first foray into Civilian employment, but it was certainly his most fulfilling. He found that PennyMac's culture, values, and mission resonated deeply with his own, mirroring the sense of purpose and camaraderie he experienced during his military service.
As Vice President of Talent Acquisition at PennyMac, Willard draws on his decade-long background in recruiting through USAREC to identify and attract top talent. He sees parallels between recruiting for the Army and recruiting for PennyMac, recognizing the value of leveraging his military experience to build a diverse and skilled workforce.
For Soldiers considering reaching out to PaYS partners, Willard offers simple yet invaluable advice: "Take advantage of the PaYS program. Having a guaranteed job interview with a potential employer is a massive advantage in the job market."
Willard Messick's journey from the Army to PennyMac is a testament to the power of perseverance, adaptability, and leveraging military experience for Civilian success. Through his leadership and commitment, he continues to make a difference both in the lives of Veterans and in the success of his organization.
PaYS recognizes BG John Novalis (Ret.), Army Aviator
By: PaYS Staff 
In an exciting engagement between past and present service, PaYS Staff interviewed retired Army BG John Novalis, a former Aviator, whose journey seamlessly transitioned from military service to the Civilian sector at Bell Textron, a PaYS Partner.
Can you tell us about you and your military background?
John Novalis, retired United States Army Brigadier General (BG), 32 years in the Army. I have been a pilot since day one. I grew up in a rural farming town in Pennsylvania. I have three uncles with military backgrounds, that inspired me. Two of them jumped in Normandy with the 82nd Airborne and one jumped with 101st Airborne. At family gatherings, they shared Not that they ever said you should join the military, but they said it was worth their time to defend the United States. So, I attended West Point Military Academy and graduated in 1987 as an aviator. I started out flying Bell Textron products. The Cobra, OH-58, OH58AC, I was a scout pilot, so I flew Bell products to include the EH-1(Iroquois) for 10 years of my career. I was hired back with Bell post military and to be quite honest, it was very exciting. Bell Textron produced future vertical lift, lethality, and a product that is going to change Army aviation for the better.
What are some specific roles you served in the during your time in the Army?
In my career, I Commanded a company, battalion, and brigade. Both, battalion, and brigade commands were in combat. I served three tours in Iraq and a tour in Afghanistan with a little over 500 combat hours flying during my time deployed. Additionally, I've also held unique positions to include, Executive Assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey, under President Obama's Administration. Then, I ended up being the Assistant Division Commander (ADC) of 101st Airborne Division. When I left the 101st, the Army asked me if I would go and serve as the senior military advisor to Poland. Which I did. I spent two years in Poland, served and served as the Operations Officer for Multinational Court Northeast. I was not flying at that time but kept in touch with all things aviation. We watched what Russia was doing and kind of predicted what they were doing in Ukraine, so it was very interesting.
What is your current position at Bell Textron?
I'm a director for advanced vertical lift products. Focused on sustainment integrated logistics systems, digital twins. Some of those words that are out there right now I'm trying to integrate that into the weapon system.
Do you still get the chance to fly?
No, I don't. I have my fixed wing. I decided probably not to fly helicopters anymore, but I probably will go back (flying) when I'm clearly retired. Maybe start flying some fixed wing stuff. It's still enjoyable and I do miss it.

IST Management
By: Victor Fleming
IST Management conducted a signing ceremony at its headquarters in Atlanta, GA. The event solidified the collaborations between the U.S. Army and IST Management.
The ceremony was hosted by MAJ Lesly Perrier, The Executive Officer, Atlanta Recruiting BN, IST Management Services CEO and Owner Hal Blackman, along with other representatives from IST Management Services.
During the ceremony, IST Management Regional Operations Manager and Retired Army Veteran, Charlies Riddervold stated, "We are a military friendly company. The transition for Soldiers is just that much harder and it's fraught with so many more stumbling blocks. Most of the stumbling blocks have to do with language and understanding what a military Veteran may offer to a company. The Veteran must be able to articulate what you are offering to corporate America and figure out the match between the two. I think the PaYS Program is a wonderful program. I've worked with the PaYS Program a lot as a recruiter, and now it just feels like I've been able to come full circle. I'm excited to have this program in every city we operate in".

Courtesy Automotive Group
By: Victor Fleming
Courtesy Automotive Group conducted a signing ceremony in Conyers, GA establishing the partnership between the company and the U.S. Army. The ceremony was hosted by LTC Adair Cox, Commander, Atlanta Recruiting Battalion and Randolph 'Coach" Barksdale, Courtesy Auto Group Owner-Operator.
During the ceremony, Chris Grace of Courtesy Auto Group stated, "We believe that the PaYS program is a positive way to strengthen the relationship between the Army and our community by allowing men and women who served their country the opportunity to return to their communities with job chances. We strongly believe the values the Army instills, loyalty, respect, honor, integrity, and trust, that will help make great employees. The PaYS Program is a win-win for everybody involved and we are proud to be a part of it."
 During the ceremony LTC Cox stated, "Partnerships like this are critical because they show America's sons and daughters that not only do we care about them while they're serving in the Army, but we care about them when they take those next steps to leave the Army. It shows that organizations like Courtesy Auto Group support our Veterans and recognize that the Army equipped Soldiers with the skills that are sought after in the Civilian sector aside from the vast technical skills their Soldiers require while serving. I think they develop a sense of discipline, motivation, dedication, and leadership, which I personally believe are foundational elements of being a good employee".
At Courtesy Auto Group, it is their mission to be the automotive home of drivers in the Conyers, GA area. They provide a vast selection of new and used vehicles, exceptional car care and customer service with a smile.
