PASADENA, Calif — U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District Commander Col. Mark Toy joined Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines to celebrate the grand opening of a military career center here Aug. 22.

 

“It’s an example of ‘Building Strong and Taking Care of People,’ which is actually the motto we have in the Los Angeles District,” said Toy. “I chose it because I want everyone to remember that everything we do in the Corps of Engineers, everything we build for our Soldiers, has at its heart the idea that we are taking care of people.”

 

Since 2009, the U.S. Army Recruiting Command has used the term Pinnacle to describe these state-of-the-art facilities and their team approach to recruiting. USAREC sees this re-organization as a way to improve the quality of life for its recruiters. These larger stations consolidate the operations of several offices. This location accommodates the local company command team as well.

 

One of the new tenants, Air Force enlisted accession recruiter Staff Sgt. Kenneth D. Stubbs said, “the new facility is nice and I like the fact that everything is new and functional so it provides for a better work atmosphere.”

 

According to Corps realty specialist Dustin Ku, this center comes in at 8,500 square feet with the Army accounting for just over 4,086 square feet of floor and office space to accommodate its Pinnacle design. The Navy has 2036 sq. ft., also co-locating their area supervisor, the Marines at 1700 sq. ft. and the Air Force at 678 sq. ft.

 

“The District is really proud of our recruiting facilities program,” said Toy. “We administer 269 leases that are worth a total of $31 million. In my mind, it’s money well spent.”
