Last weekend, Odyssey was proud to be a 5-Star Sponsor at the AFCEA Run/Walk for STEM 5K event in Bedford, Massachusetts. The 2024 AFCEA Run for STEM is a fundraising event that serves to support teachers, ROTC cadets, High School and Middle School students furthering their interests in STEM. All the race proceeds will go to the AFCEA Educational 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation. Team members of Odyssey and their families had a fantastic Sunday supporting a great cause! #WeAreOdyssey #OdysseySystems

Odyssey is excited to introduce Dr. Robert McLINDEN as our Technical Center Pre-Clinical Science Solution Architect. With his strong background in scientific program management and medical research, he will help lead our Technical Center's growth in the medical field. Currently, at Odyssey, he manages several contracts at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), supporting research for traumatic brain injury, wound infections, diarrheal disease, malaria, and other vaccine development programs. #WeAreOdyssey #OdysseySystems

Today, we are spotlighting SMSgt Kiley Combs, an Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom Veteran who served in the United States Air Force from February 2000 to October 2021 and is currently a Senior Cybersecurity Analyst in Odyssey’s SOF/PR and Special Warfare efforts. During her tenure, Kiley served in Japan, Nevada, Michigan, Germany, California, and Ohio, with numerous deployments in support of contingency operations. Kiley feels very blessed to have met friends throughout the world that she now considers family. This camaraderie has impacted her life and has been missed since retiring. Kiley’s advice to members currently or planning to transition from the military is to have a plan. Make sure that you are looking at the job market and taking note of certifications or requirements that will make you look more appealing to employers. It is important to link up with other retired military to seek advice and go over your plan; this strategy helped her transition from military to civilian life. Kiley credits her smooth transition from advice from her mentors while assigned to Beale Air Force Base and the National Air and Space Intelligence Center. Odyssey thanks Kiley for her service and all the fantastic work she has done for Odyssey! #WeAreOdyssey #OdysseySystems

Team-building at its finest! Members of the Space and Missile Defense group spent a fun-filled evening playing Whirlyball a Whirlyball Colorado Springs. While competitively driving bumper cars and trying to score, the team couldn't stop laughing. Truly non-stop fun! #WeAreOdyssey #OdysseySystems

Odyssey would like to recognize Sahara Gooding, Clinical Research Coordinator, for her work supporting the Clinical Investigations Department (CID) at the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP). Sahara was commended by one of her Principal Investigators (PIs) for her consistent check-ins to ensure excellent subject recruitment and study transition once the PI changed work locations. In addition, Sahara created new systems for the current consent process and folder collection, which eliminated the high volume of paperwork for subjects. We are extremely grateful for Sahara’s support and hard work and thank her for being such a valued Odyssey team member! #WeAreOdyssey #OdysseySystems

It’s always motivating to see the operational impacts the Odyssey team has on the SDA mission. Our team is at the center of acquiring, developing and sustaining GEODSS and many other SDA technologies. “The GEODSS systems play a vital role in tracking deep space objects. More than 2,500 objects, including geostationary communication satellites, are in deep space orbits varying in altitude from 10,000 to 45,000 kilometers from Earth. These telescopes can detect objects 10,000 times dimmer than the human eye can see.” #PowerYourPurpose #TeamOdyssey

Paying close attention to detail, solving evolving issues, and being prepared for any challenge are all special requirements for Acquisition Specialist @Gaye Jordan in our Medical Group at Naval Health Research Center (NHRC). Gaye supports the Operations Infections Disease (OID) research lab with simplified contracts and handles all aspects of those contracts, including supporting vendors. Gaye is also responsible for market research for purchasing supplies and services and creating new contracts. She also conducts weekly check ins with Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) on statuses of customer invoices. Gaye puts our customers first every day to ensure that every need is met, and the contracts process is smooth and worry free from start to finish. Thank you, Gaye, for going above and beyond every day! #WeAreOdyssey #OdysseySystems
