Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) announced its 2016 third quarter Civilians of the Quarter (CoQs), Nov. 4.

CIWT selected Debra Davis, a civilian personnel program management analyst assigned to CIWT's N1 total force manpower and civilian personnel directorate, as senior-grade CoQ; and Ernest Ryan, a system administrator assigned to Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Virginia Beach's N6 systems directorate, as its mid-grade CoQ.

Throughout the 2016 fiscal year, Davis acted as CIWT's performance management program coordinator, ensuring all CIWT employees received a fair and accurate rating of record. She also trained other analysts in her department in the use of the Defense Civilian Personnel Data System (DCPDS) to process all civilian personnel actions. As CIWT's drug program coordinator, she ensured the command's random testing program operated with efficiency and accuracy, resulting in zero noted deficiencies.

"Mrs. Davis's position is about customer service and guiding all CIWT domain employees," said Davis's supervisor, Deborah Phillips. "Debra is the keeper of the corporate knowledge within CIWT, and her ability to leverage that knowledge is what has enabled our department to achieve so much in such a short period of time. Her contributions to this organization are vast and demonstrate ethical, competent, and responsible performance."

Davis said she takes pride in how far she has come in the organization and will continue to have faith for the future.

Ryan spearheaded the implementation of a 900-workstation training network at IWTC Virginia Beach and upgraded the training software from legacy software to the current standard. He built a functional and ready-to-use training network which supported 19 separate courses of instruction. His efforts ensured the critical system upgrade did not impact the command's training schedule.

"Mr. Ryan's tremendous accomplishments this quarter are outstanding," said Ryan's supervisor, Robert Collins. "He is considered one of IWTC Virginia Beach's top system administrators and the command's leading expert on Virtual Desktop Environment."

Ryan said he was sure the competition was very high among his peers, and he is grateful for the recognition from his chain of command.
