The annual award recognizes commands who meet or exceed established retention benchmarks throughout the Navy. NAVSUP FLC Bahrain earned the award by achieving a reenlistment rate of 100% across zones A, B and C. The zones are based on the Sailor’s length of service.

“This achievement was a team effort, spearheaded by great leaders and command career counselors who invested in the professional and personal development of every Sailor,” said NAVSUP FLC Bahrain Command Master Chief Joshua Gabriel. “The Sailors at NAVSUP FLC Bahrain are given opportunities to acquire knowledge and skills that enable them to reach their full potential and choose to remain in the Navy.”

NAVSUP FLC Bahrain leaders and command career counselors provide mentorship and guidance to Sailors as they explore and evaluate their opportunities to make well-informed career decisions while living abroad.

“The Retention Excellence Award is a testament of the hard work and dedication our Sailors have here in Bahrain,” said Capt. Timothy Griffin, commanding officer of NAVSUP FLC Bahrain. “As we continue to cultivate a culture of excellence by training and educating our Sailors, we empower them with the tools and resources they need to be the best and stay committed to the U.S. Navy.”

As a repeat winner from fiscal year 2019, NAVSUP FLC Bahrain will continue to fly the retention excellence pennant as a display of the achievement.
