The Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT) announced their Junior and Senior Civilians of the Quarter (1st Quarter, fiscal year 2016) during an awards ceremony at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, May 6.

CNATT Technical Support Directorate (N9) Logistics Management Specialist Terry Proctor was recognized as the command's Senior Civilian of the Quarter, and CNATT Technical Support Directorate Inventory Management Specialist James Dils was cited as the command's Junior Civilian of the Quarter.

Proctor, who works extensively with the F/A-18 platform, was instrumental in obtaining $3.3 million in Program Office funding for corrosion training for the aircraft, working closely with Naval Air Systems Command's (NAVAIR) PMA-265 -- the program office dedicated to the timely and competent technical support for research and development, production and sustainment of the F/A-18.

Proctor collaborated with PMA-265 for requirements, development, reviews, documented justifications, and aggressively pursued resource funding for the procurement which will serve serve as a model for other platforms to launch similar efforts in the near future.

Proctor also led a Chief of Naval Operations N98 directed requirement to stand-up F/A-18 F414 3rd degree engine repair training at CNATT Unit Oceana -- managing and directing instructor training, support equipment and training device identification and procurement, electronic classroom requirements, course approval and other requirements.

Dils assisted in coordinating the permanent transfer and temporary loan of 132 support equipment items, tools and Individual Material Readiness List assets in response to the same Chief of Naval Operations N98 F/A-18 Engine Maintenance course. Dils also tracked accounts for nearly 10,000 items for five CNATT Learning Sites valued at $322 million, processed 45 Local Asset Management System exports and 709 Support Equipment Management System transactions ahead of schedule for 17 CNATT Learning Sites.

Dils was also able to remove more than 1,300 items of unmatched excess support to streamline allowances for Equipment Requirement Lists, process 10 surveys for CNATTU New River within 15 days of notification and transfer 234 separate items of support equipment valued at over $1.5 million to be reutilized at fleet activities.

CNATT is the technical training agent for the Naval Aviation Enterprise, an organization designed to advance and sustain naval aviation warfighting capabilities at an affordable cost, and is the largest training center under the Naval Education and Training Command.
