Profiles of Good Character: Spotlighting Johnny Glenn — Running Toward the Next Mission
Johnny Glenn is proof that veterans never lose their desire to serve — they just find new ways to do it. A Georgia native, Johnny grew up on his family's farm. He credits his rural values and upbringing as key drivers behind the strong work ethic he has today. While farm life molded him, he was determined to pave his own path. 'Growing up on a farm was hard work, and I was inspired to do something different,' he said. 'In 1994, I enlisted to serve my country and went on to become a Green Beret.' Johnny spent 21 years with the 3rd Special Forces Group, serving 10 tours in Afghanistan and two in Iraq. Today, he is a retired Chief Warrant Officer 3 (CW3), continuing his mission with CACI. Johnny has been with CACI for six months, leveraging his military expertise as a Training and Technical Assistance program trainer. He teaches soldiers how to use the Army's new augmented reality headset system (IVAS) as part of their field equipment. 'I'm grateful to have found a career that aligns with my skills and background in service,' he said. 'It's no surprise so many veterans build lasting careers at CACI, where opportunities for military members and their families are truly limitless.' Recently, Johnny was one of 12 military veterans — including CACI's Jason Wood — who completed the Old Glory Ultra Relay, a cross-country run organized by Team Red, White, and Blue (Team RWB) to raise awareness and money for fellow veterans. He trained for the challenge in a setting all too familiar — a place that taught him discipline, endurance, and grit. 'I did most of my training at my farm here in North Carolina, maintaining my strength with daily manual labor,' he said. 'I would do speed and endurance work on the days that I wasn't working on the farm.' Johnny and his fellow veterans began the trek in San Diego on May 2 and, from sea to shining sea, completed the journey in just under 17 days. After 3,002 unbroken miles, they crossed the finish line in Washington, D.C., at the National Mall — American flag in hand. 'Completing the relay meant a lot to me,' he shared. 'It demonstrates that when you put veterans together on a mission, we will find a way to complete that mission. With so many coming together to support an incredible cause, I was provided with a higher faith in mankind.' During the race, Johnny felt the unwavering encouragement of his colleagues. From phone calls, text messages, and social media post, he was reminded that he was not alone and was supported by members of CACI. 'I would like to say thank you to all my immediate and extended CACI family,' he said. 'Your support during this race gave me that extra push I needed to make it to the end. It's teammates and cultures like this that makes CACI special.' CACI serves as a company that offers the support you need to thrive, in and out of the office.

Can YES Bank reclaim Rs 27? Or is a drop below Rs 17 more likely?
YES Bank shares have seen a volatile ride over the past year, falling 22% in the last 12 months and losing 26% from their peak of Rs 27.2. However, since hitting a low of Rs 16 in March, the stock has recovered nearly 25%, sparking renewed interest among traders and investors. Kunal V Parar, VP – Technical Research & Algo at Choice Broking, believes the stock is showing early signs of a turnaround.

This suggests potential for further upside momentum in the near term,' he said. He added that a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern has formed after the recent correction, signalling a possible reversal backed by growing buying interest. 'On the weekly chart, the stock continues to hold above its rising trendline support, reinforcing the ongoing uptrend and reflecting strong underlying momentum,' he said. The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also hovering around 50, showing a positive crossover after taking support near its previous bottom. 'Given the current technical setup, we expect the stock to move upwards towards the Rs 21.50 – Rs 23.00 zone, with a strict stop-loss at Rs 19,' Parar noted. However, Drumil Vithlani, Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza, pointed out that YES Bank is still forming a Lower Low, Lower High structure — a sign of weakness. 'Although the stock recently broke above a falling trendline, it failed to hold the breakout as selling pressure pushed the price back toward the trendline support,' he said. According to Vithlani, bullish momentum will only resume if the stock decisively closes above Rs 23.40. 'Until then, fresh entries should be avoided as the trend remains weak. On the downside, a break below Rs 17.40 could open the gates for further decline towards Rs 15.98,' he added. At the same time, YES Bank is also in the spotlight due to potential foreign investment. Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp (SMBC) has sought approval from the Reserve Bank of India to acquire up to a 25% stake in YES Bank. The Japanese lender had earlier entered into a binding agreement in May to purchase 20% from State Bank of India and a group of other Indian banks. Sources told ET that if RBI clears the application, SMBC would have room to acquire an additional 5%, taking its total holding to 25%. Media reports also suggest that SMBC is exploring a total investment of $1.1 billion in the private lender. What Lies Ahead? For now, YES Bank's stock remains range-bound, with technical and fundamental signals pulling in opposite directions. Whether the stock reclaims Rs 27 or slides below Rs 17 will likely depend on a combination of market sentiment, institutional flows, and broader cues from RBI's decision on SMBC's application.

Perak youth urged to embrace TVET jobs or risk losing out to outsiders
KUALA LUMPUR: Young people in Perak have been urged to seize the thousands of job opportunities emerging from the state's rapid industrial development or risk losing them to outsiders and foreign workers. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad said the state's heavy investment in industrial zones is part of its goal to position Perak as a national TVET corridor, a key agenda under the Perak Sejahtera 2030 plan to future-proof the economy and secure long-term prosperity. However, he said these roles require skilled workers, particularly those with Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) certification. "I want the people of Perak to understand the government's intention. If our own children do not support this aspiration, we will have to offer these job opportunities to outsiders. And if that still is not enough, we cannot avoid hiring foreign workers," he told the New Straits Times during a visit to Balai Berita for the Malaysia Hari Ini programme. Saarani said the state has intensified awareness campaigns at the district level in collaboration with various agencies, targeting secondary school students, especially those in Form Four and Form Five, to highlight career prospects through TVET. He said the importance of removing the stigma that TVET is a second-class option, noting that the sector now offers competitive salaries and strong job market demand. "It is time we dispel the notion that TVET is a second-class certificate. With a TVET qualification, real jobs are waiting," he said. Citing internal data, Saarani said approximately 94 per cent of TVET graduates secure employment. As part of the outreach initiative, successful TVET alumni, including chefs, welders, and animation specialists, are being brought into schools to inspire students and show the real-life potential of vocational careers. He added that all TVET institutions in Perak must also ensure their academic programmes are aligned with the specific needs of local industries. "That is why we are engaging with industry players and training providers to ensure course offerings are relevant to the job market. We do not want these opportunities to slip away to outsiders simply because locals lack the necessary skills," he said. "Our goal is to create a prosperous Perak where the people thrive. That prosperity starts with employment — when people have jobs, they have income to spend, and that in turn drives the state's economy." Previously, the Perak government had outlined its ambition to position the state as a National TVET Corridor, with several mega projects, including the Automotive High-Tech Valley in Tanjung Malim, the Kerian Integrated Green Industrial Park, and the Silver Valley Technology Park, serving as anchor platforms to absorb skilled graduates. The state had also introduced the TVET 2025 Roadshow Programme aimed at correcting misconceptions about vocational education and promoting it as a primary pathway to careers in technology, manufacturing and entrepreneurship.

Live Events "We want this platform to enhance collaboration among all member nations for strengthening port led industrialisation, digital integration and skill development which in turn boost cruise tourism, and foster coastal economic zones," he said. According to the minister, BIMSTEC member countries--India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand--should aim to create a seamless and efficient network of ports that could serve as engines of growth. Through joint feasibility studies, PPP (Public Private Partnership), and skill development of maritime workforce, Sonowal said BIMSTEC can transform the region into a thriving hub of global trade, tourism, and sustainable economic progress. Further, Sonowal said a BIMSTEC Sustainable Maritime Transport Centre is going to be established under the Indian Ocean Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Maritime Transport (IOCE-SMarT) at the Maritime Training Institute in Powai, Mumbai. He inaugurated multiple projects in the port, such as new oil refinery berth-2, fire fighting facilities at OSTT Berth, new port operating system, vessel traffic management system (VTMS) and others. Moreover, he laid the foundation stone for the construction of B-Ramp in the port area, finger jetty and wharf in fishing harbour, two additional breasting dolphins at OSTT and others.
