Good VocationsSM Employees of the YearFt. Gordon - Steve JarrellSteve Jarrell has walked side by side with tragedy for much of his life. Growing up in rural middle GA, Steve started drinking and using drugs at age 15 to try to overcome his innate shyness. Steve says, "My friends drank and did drugs, so I just went along with them. I just wanted to �t in." Steve continued for years drinking and using drugs, but managed to always work. As a young adult, more tragedy occurred. Steve's sister , mother, and father were brutally murdered by his brother-in-law in a �t of rage. Steve said "my brother-in-law just got mad one night and killed them all." He continues, this tragedy "really blew me out of control. I went deep, deep, deep into drinking and drugs to try and forget." In addition, Steve su�ered from constant pain in his hip so the drinking and drugs helped to numb that physical pain as well.

Steve was in the Army when he found his way out of the darkness. At the age of 38, he needed a hip replacement to end the pain. In order to undergo the surgery, he had to get sober. He moved to Augusta GA to enter a rehab program through the VA. Once there, he got sober, and had the hip replaced. At that point, he was eager to get back to work. Steve found Good Vocations/AbilityOne through the Vocational Rehabilitation program at Ft. Gordon in Augusta GA. He started work with Good Vocations in April 2010 - and has never missed one day of work. Steve was just promoted to Team Leader.

Steve states that the Good Vocations/ AbilityOne Program "changed my life a great deal. I believe work is very important. It keeps you focused." Despite all of the tragedy in his life, Steve wants to make sure that this nomination committee knows that he "loves God and believes that all things are possible. I am an example of that."

Warner Robins Air Force Base - David MyrickResponsible for cleaning nine di�erent areas on Warner Robins Air Force Base, David always has to be on his toes. �e majority of his work day is spent cleaning the Air Force Museum, a high pro�le area which hosts many dignitaries, visitors, and government/social functions. Because of the social function of this area, David's schedule changes frequently to accom-modate events. He never questions the change in schedule and his supervisors say he "goes above and beyond to make sure the Museum is ready."

Since coming to Good Vocations in July 2010, David has never missed one day of work. When asked what his thoughts about working are, he says "It's easy. When you want something to get done, you just do it." His supervisor says, "David gets along very well with all of the Good Vocations employees, as well as the Air Force employees. He is known for being in a good mood and being respectful of others. If another employee is absent, David is always willing to pick up the slack." As for himself, David says, “I love working here with everyone. I try to do the best I can every day. Every day I get up and think how am I going to get this all done. I just start by getting the big things done �rst."

David is dedicated to his job, and takes tremendous pride in doing the best he possibly can. Several of the Air Force building managers commend David on his dedication and state that David "responds to issues right away - without complaint." When asked the question what he enjoys most about his job, David's positive attitude is evident in his response, "I just want to work. I want to be able to say I have a job. I don't care about the pay. I like being able to advance my abilities." David admits to having one pet peeve - being late for anything.
