The Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT) announced their Junior and Senior Civilians of the Quarter (4th quarter FY 2015) during an awards ceremony on board Naval Air Station Pensacola, Sept. 8.

CNATT Training Directorate Curriculum Manager Randall Getchell was recognized as the command's Senior Civilian of the Quarter (SCOQ) and CNATT Technical Support Directorate Inventory Management Specialist Raymond Anglen was cited as the command's Junior Civilian of the Quarter (JCOQ).

Getchell, who manages more than 60 courses for the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and the Aviation Machinist's Mate (AD) and the Aircrew Survival Equipmentman (PR) ratings, also led the efforts for CNATT's Council on Occupational Education (COE) reaffirmation of accreditation self-study.

"I have the privilege of working with a great team," he said. "What we're doing is ensuring the students taking the courses that we oversee are ready to get to the fleet and continue the legacy of success naval aviation is known for."

"As the command's accrediation liaison officer, Mr. Getchell's leadership and expertise ensured the team validated all standard requirements and criteria established by COE, resulting in safeguarding the readiness of CNATT's 27 learning sites," said Capt. Eric Simon, CNATT executive officer.

Anglen, a CNATT inventory management specialist, serves the command through support equipment controlling authority roles, providing guidance and technical assistance in support of multiple CNATT learning sites.

"Mr. Anglen is instrumental in our continued success in achieving the CNATT mission," Simon added. "His processing of Local Asset Management System exports and Support Equipment Management System transactions ahead of schedule for 17 learning sites are keeping our students training for their future endeavors in the fleet."

According to his JCOQ nomination package, Anglen also located 18 excess fleet test equipment items for redistribution to CNATT Learning Sites, and submitted and tracked 18 depot-level support equipment and 20 calibration test equipment repairs, while coordinating receipt of three temporary loans for Individual Material Readiness List (IMRL) support equipment.

"We are supporting our learning sites by ensuring they have the proper functioning training equipment so our students are trained on what is actually used in the fleet," Anglen said.

Simon stressed that the importance of civilian employees at the headquarters command overseeing the majority of Navy aviation enlisted technical training cannot be understated.

"The wealth of experience these individuals bring to the table is unparalleled," he said. "They know what the fleet needs and have consistently produced the coursework we are using to train the next generation of aircraft maintenance professionals."

CNATT is the technical training agent for the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE), 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 (NETC).
