The Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT) announced its Junior and Senior Civilians of the Quarter for fourth quarter 2016, Feb. 8.

CNATT Information Technology and Cybersecurity (N6) Information Technology Specialist Charles Keppler was recognized as the command's Senior Civilian of the Quarter and CNATT Resource Management Directorate (N8) Financial Technician Richard Phillips was cited as the command's Junior Civilian of the Quarter.

"Each of these employees are shining examples of the stellar civilian workforce we [CNATT] has," said CNATT Executive Officer Capt. Nate Schneider. "The support they are providing to the Sailors, Marines, and civilian employees throughout the CNATT domain is unparalleled, and they are instrumental in ensuring we are able to keep training our Navy and Marine Corps aviation maintainers for future assignment to operational units around the world."

Keppler, one of the longest-tenured CNATT employees, was selected as the SCOQ while serving as the N6 IT New Innovations lead, supporting the CNATT domain through the research, design, and development of new instructional delivery systems in support of the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) Ready, Relevant Learning and Sailor 2025 initiatives.

"As technology continues to rapidly change, Charlie [Keppler] has strived to remain at the forefront of both hardware and software capabilities that could be used in delivery of training," said CNATT Management Analyst Supervisor Patrick Traywick. "He is the CNATT command resident person for everything IT, whether the requirement is for hands on support or research for new technology delivery for both staff and the CNATT training sites."

Phillips coordinated a process for the distribution and collection of System Authorization Access Request-Navy forms for all military and civilian personnel requiring access to the Standard Labor Data Collection and Distribution Application (SLDCADA) throughout the CNATT domain. He also provided guidance on civilian timekeeping issues and monitored all SLDCADA entries for compliance while simultaneously serving as the approving official for government purchase card transactions, an approving official for the Defense Travel System and reconciled the Consolidated Bill Account.

"The scope of what the CNATT N8 department does impacts every civilian and service member throughout the domain," said CNATT Budget Officer Barbara Lumpkin. "Richard [Phillips] has stepped in and took over some programs when it was needed, and has become an integral part of our team."

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.
