Paula B. Nardone, who retired after 36.5 years of federal civilian service, received the Civilian Service Commendation Medal from U.S. Army Col. Brian A. Jacobs, Fort Hamilton Garrison commander, during a retirement celebration held for Nardone on April 26 at the Directorate of Emergency Service (DES) office on Fort Hamilton.
Nardone started her government career at 19 years old with the Army at Fort Hamilton in August 1987. "I know, I'm old...lol," she said. "Anyway, at that time I walked into the then Provost Marshal Office, and my indoctrination to the world of the U.S. Army and government work began."
