(KPWR 105.9 – Los Angeles) Meruelo Media announced today that it proudly became an official
US Army partner for the Youth Success (PaYS) program in the Los Angeles, California area. By
doing so, Meruelo Media will guarantee job interviews to transition Soldiers. The US Army
Partnership for Youth Success (PaYS) initiative is a program that connects private industry with
transitioning Soldiers seeking new career opportunities after honorable service to our Nation.
US Army’s Southern California recruiting Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Patrick M. Flood and
President of Meruelo Media, Otto Padron, (also a US Army Reserve Officer) will preside over the
signing ceremony held on Friday, March 29th at the Meruelo Media Studios, located at 4975

after by the PaYS signing ceremony and lunch.
“This US Army PaYS partnership is very personal to me,” Otto Padron stated, “… my US Army
experience armed me with the strong values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor,
Integrity and Personal Courage. These priceless principles and an amazing work ethic is what
transitioning Soldiers bring to the workplace. We are proud to stand together with the other
great companies who have joined the PaYS movement.”
