The Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) recognized its top performers, July 26, by honoring the junior and senior civilians of the quarter (COQ) for the first quarter of 2016. The awards were presented during an all-hands call for the staff at Naval Air Station Pensacola.

Randall L. Henley, a manpower analyst in the NETC Total Force Manpower department (N1), was named the Senior COQ.

"I hope those that I work with each and every day, both on staff and out in the field, realize that I strive for excellence," said Henley. "My goal is to produce the best possible product in achieving mission success."

Henley coordinates assigned manpower programs and provides support to domain commands in accordance with NETC, Department of the Navy, and Department of Defense policies and guidance.

When asked what he hopes his co-workers will take away from his example, he stated his teammates are actually his example, and their dedication and selflessness amazes him every day.

Linda Erickson, a paralegal specialist working in the Office of General Counsel (OGC) at NETC, was named the Junior COQ.

"I am often called upon or volunteer to take over actions to ensure the processes are relevant, meaningful and in support of the mission," said Erickson. "I think it was my management abilities and innovative thinking in evaluating how we do business that made me stand out for this award."

Erickson serves as the legal assistant to the counsel and provides direct support and assistance with a variety of legal and administrative matters.

"As the sole paralegal for the NETC OGC, I am responsible for ensuring that all legal matters, received in our office by whatever means, are properly identified," said Erickson. "My legal support ensures deadlines are identified, properly calendared, and files are updated with necessary and relevant information."

NETC is the largest shore command in the Navy and is comprised of more than 12,000 military and staff personnel at more than 230 subordinate activities and detachments in the United States and at remote sites overseas. NETC provides training and education to more than 31,000 students on any given day.
