The Submarine Learning Center (SLC) was recognized with six Training Excellence Awards (TEA) from Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) Feb. 9.

These annual awards recognize commands which demonstrate the highest standards of training excellence in meeting fleet established requirements. The SLC received TEAs for exemplary performance in Planning and Programming, Total Force Management, Logistics Management, Curriculum Management, Training Production Management, and Financial Management.

In a message praising all NETC award recipients, NETC Commander Rear Adm. Mike White noted the commands selected "epitomize the highest degree of training excellence found throughout the Naval Education and Training Command. Your continued success in the delivery of training will ensure highly trained, top-quality Sailors are available to meet the needs of our fleet."

Capt. Andrew C. Jarrett, commanding officer of the Submarine Learning Center, praised the efforts of the entire SLC team who are at training sites scattered across 13 time zones supporting submarine force training.

"There are countless moving parts which must be continuously synchronized and adjusted to best assure seamless delivery of world-class training for our submarine Sailors," Jarrett said. "These awards are a reflection of the hard work accomplished every day throughout the SLC over the course of the last year."

The SLC plans, programs, budgets, and executes individual and team training for Undersea Warfare Enterprise mission readiness. Additionally, it develops, assigns, and coordinates future undersea warfare training and education solutions and allocates resources to execute undersea warfare training in fleet concentration areas and elsewhere to include Naval Submarine School, Groton, Connecticut; Submarine Learning Det. San Diego; Submarine Learning Site Yorktown, Virginia; Naval Submarine Training Center Pacific Det. Guam; Submarine Training Facility, Norfolk; Submarine Learning Site, Dam Neck, Virginia; Submarine Learning Site, Whidbey Island, Washington; Naval Submarine Training Center Pacific, Pearl Harbor; Trident Training Facility, Bangor, Washington; and Trident Training Facility, Kings Bay, Georgia.

"We live and work in a dynamic environment requiring continuous evaluation of every job, duty, and task submarine Sailors perform, while simultaneously assessing the curriculum and tools we use to teach and train them even while making timely decisions and determinations on where and how we need to move forward," said Jarrett.

The SLC has 1,248 instructors and staff. In 2016, more than 246,000 Sailors graduated from 298 separate courses.

The SLC blended learning solution combines instructor-led classes, hands-on labs, simulation, interactive course ware, and computer-based training and is a critical support element of Undersea Warfare.

The Submarine Learning Center's primary function is to create, coordinate and execute the future training and education vision for the submarine force.
