Cryptologic Technician (Collection) 2nd Class Lori Pearce, assigned to NIOC Georgia was named Sea Junior Sailor of the Year and Cryptologic Technician (Collection) 2nd Class Juan Leon, assigned to NIOC Whidbey Island was named Shore Junior Sailor of the Year.
"I'm so proud of our Fleet Cyber/10th Fleet team, and these Sailors, in particular," said Gilday. "They represent the best in professional competency, leadership, initiative, creativity and the warfighter mindset required for an asymmetric advantage in a challenging domain."
"All of the finalists, their commands and their shipmates should be extremely proud of their accomplishments," said Command Master Chief Dee Allen, FCC/C10F command master chief. “The competition between the outstanding finalists was extremely close, but the board could only select one in each category and the decision was difficult."

Fleet Cyber Command also reports directly to the Chief of Naval Operations as an Echelon II command.
