The Center for Surface Combat Systems announced its Civilian of the Quarter for the first quarter of 2016, May 6.

"I am very excited to receive this award," said human resources liaison Ms. Angela Jones.

Jones has been part of the CSCS community for eight years.

"I first started with CSCS as a contractor in 2008 and then became a federal employee in 2010 and began my career in the N1 department," said Jones. "I was the administrative officer assistant and in April 2015, [then] I became the human resources liaison."

As the human resource liaison, she provides staffing and placement services and human resources advice and services to CSCS headquarters and 14 learning sites.

"In addition, as the training officer, I manage all professional training and the college degree program," she added.

Jones' supervisor, Mr. Scott Russell, director for Manpower/Human Resources, nominated her for the award.

"Angela continues to impress as she grows in knowledge and skill," Russell explained. "Her efforts over the last two years have been significant to the success of CSCS. She is a rising star and becoming tomorrow's top leadership."

Jones said she looks forward to coming to work each day and welcomes the challenges she faces on a daily basis.

"I love that my job challenges me in different ways and I am very lucky to love the people I work with," she said. "I am very thankful to have mentors and leaders who have taught and provided me a wealth of knowledge. They have helped me mature in my career and I am looking forward to what my future holds. Furthermore, I am fortunate to work for such a great organization whose mission is essential to our nation. It is a wonderful feeling to come to work knowing that I am playing a role in training Sailors who will enter the fleet prepared to execute their duties and defend our waters."

CSCS' mission is to develop and deliver surface ship combat systems training to achieve surface warfare superiority. CSCS headquarters' staff oversees 14 learning sites and provides nearly 70,000 hours of curriculum for 700 courses a year to more than 40,000 Sailors.
