02.23.16 Our NASA support team has
exceeded expectations again. The BFA NASA team received a rating of
“Excellent” for 2014-15 as a subcontractor. Citation
is as follows: “The BFA Systems employees could
not do a better job. There are never any complaints regarding these
subcontractors. In addition, they are a major reason that
ESSSA receives a perfect score on our own evaluations from our
sub-element initiator. BFA was recognized with two NASA Group
Achievement Awards for participation on the Booster Critical Design
Review Team, one “Honorary Bulldog Award” for superior
support, Determination and commitment to technical excellence for work
on the Forward Separation Bolt Data Acquisition System Redesign, and
one SLS Manager Commendation Award in support of Booster. The
subcontractor is an active participant in the ESSSA Group’s
commitment to safety.” The evaluation had a special mention for
Mr. Alan Norwood who was a
valuable member of this team.
07.22.10 Ms. Jane Jattuso from the Ark
visited BFA on the 22nd
of July and she briefed our company on what her program does.
She brought along an animal named GingerBear. Their mission
is to rescue as many homeless animals as possible. The ARK
prides itself on maintaining a no-kill policy except for reasons
of mercy or dangerous temperament. The economic situation
has caused many pets to be abandoned. The ARK provides
veterinary care for each animal to include spaying/neutering
before adoption. Last week at the ARK,
BFA presented a small
momento to the ARK showing our appreciation for all
they do for
the community.
03.24.10 Mr. Hamilton Holliday was
recently selected as BFA's
Employee of the Quarter (1st OTR) 2010. Hamilton has shown
exceptional diligence in his job performance and job knowledge
in the MDA HWIL arena. Hamilton
demonstrates outstanding
work ethics by supporting the "team concept" and providing
valuable technical knowledge to accomplish all tasks. Hamilton's
job performance exceeds that of his other peers by continuously
learning and always seeking new opportunities. His drive to
support the mission in unmatched by his attitude and performance. Hamilton's accomplishments have
surpassed the expectations of all the V&V leadership here at
AMRDEC.
