In just more than ten years, Training Support Center Hampton Roads (TSCHR) was able to mark a major milestone: on July 20 its one-millionth student was processed for training and forwarding on to the fleet.

Chaplain Lt. Cmdr. (FMF) Robert Peters, was student number one million to process through the TSCHR Dam Neck site. A former Navy pilot, Peters was pleased with the service he received coming through TSCHR's doors.

"After ten years as an aviator I received God's calling to become a chaplain and 14 years later, TSC is making it easy for me to attend the Center for Personal and Professional Development Navy Instructor Training Course."

Since TSCHR's establishment in April, 2004, the Student Management directorate has acted as a single point of contact for all student management and training support needs for Naval Education and Training Command activities in the Hampton Roads area.

TSCHR has processed and supported a million students with check-in/check-out, special screenings, Customer Support Detachment (CSD) liaison for per-diem, port calls, permanent change of station orders, negotiations, graduations, accelerations, drops, evaluations, student dispositions reclassifications, and holding company management.

Oscar Jose, TSCHR Student Management director, works with five site managers to facilitate efficient and effective management of student personnel and also supports learning center personnel as they instruct Sailors.

"Bottom line, we take care of the students' paperwork and records, doing whatever it takes to ensure they have the fewest possible interruptions to classroom instruction," said Jose. "This facilitates our meeting fleet training requirements by the judicious use of training resources."

Capt. Brent Kyler, TSCHR commanding officer, noted that that TSCHR's number one priority is taking care of Sailors and they are always looking for innovative ways to maximize student support.

"I couldn't be prouder of our Student Management team," said Kyler. "In order for the Navy to maintain its superiority on the oceans of the world, it must continue to produce confident, knowledgeable Sailors who are able to perform difficult jobs with unerring skill and technical proficiency; and TSCHR plays a huge role in getting the students to their required training."

TSCHR provides student management, quota control, and professional development for Sailors, Marines, Soldiers and Airmen from the U.S. Armed Forces and more than 20 allied nations.
