    CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - Letterkenny Army Depot recognized several outstanding employees at a town hall held at the depot headquarters Nov. 7.

    Justin Ile, acting chief of test equipment maintenance, received the Department of the Army Civilian Service Achievement Medal in recognition of being named Aviation and Missile Command’s Most Valuable Player for Aug. 2023. Col. Donald Santillo, commander, LEAD, presented Ile with the award, highlighting his contributions to improving the operational readiness of LEAD’s test equipment, specifically the integrated family of test equipment systems.

    Santillo presented Chad Hoffman, the crane operator lead in the Directorate of Supply and Transportation, with the Department of the Army Civilian Service Achievement Medal in recognition of being named LEAD's Wage Grade employee of the quarter for the fourth quarter.

    With over five years of service to LEAD, Hoffman consistently demonstrates innovative transport solutions that directly impact workload opportunities. He prioritizes mentorship and teamwork to ensure assets are shipped in a timely manner.

    "It means a lot to know that hard work doesn’t go unnoticed," Hoffman said. "It’s important for me to show up every day and be accountable for the work that we do to support all of the men and women in uniform."

    Santillo also presented Andrew Paul, a quality assurance specialist in the Directorate of Product Assurance, with the Department of the Army Civilian Service Achievement Medal in honor of his selection as the General Schedule employee of the quarter for the fourth quarter.

    Paul has worked at LEAD for over nine years and has drastically increased inspection data accessibility amongst the depot’s stakeholders. He consistently ensures that the Missile Support Branch can support production flow and maintain quality standards.

    "Being selected as the employee of the quarter shows me that hard work pays off and motivates me to continue to be an important part of producing the best possible equipment for our warfighters," Paul said. "I attribute this accomplishment to hard work, initiative and the blessing of working with great employees who greatly respect the sacrifice of the warfighters that use the equipment we produce."

    In addition to the employees of the quarter, Santillo also awarded several additional employees for exceptional performance.
