PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) announced two of its top-performing civilian employees for the 2nd quarter June 14.
NETC Commander Rear Adm. Mike White praised the awardees for their hard work and consistent effort supporting the Navy's training mission.
"Our civilian workforce brings critical knowledge, skills and abilities to what we do at NETC every day," said White. "It's a privilege for me to highlight two of our teammates who put forth so much effort, often behind the scenes, to making a positive impact by improving our processes and our products. They embody the pride and professionalism of the NETC team."
Elaine Pelletier, originally from Point Pleasant, New Jersey, was named the Senior Civilian of the Quarter (COQ) for her work on the Work Year Personnel Cost (WYPC) system in the Budget Submitting Office (BSO).
Pelletier, a NETC financial management analyst, was cited for using her extensive knowledge and experience with accounting systems to understand a complex information technology (IT) system and to create comprehensive user guides, conduct extensive user training and develop automated work aids.
"Elaine is a great asset to our office," said Pat Storey, NETC budget officer. “She single-handedly developed and implemented a process to balance WYPC with actual labor cost that saves countless manpower hours across our domain. The process she developed was so good that it was adopted throughout the Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) domain.”
Pelletier said it is imperative that she keeps everyone apprised of all changes that occur in WYPC, as well as related information in Standardized Accounting & Reporting System (STARS).
“I am a people person and take pride in giving great customer service,” said Pelletier. “I research an activity’s unique circumstances prior to giving training, so that it is not just barebones guidance and can really help them.”
Serving as a hospital corpsman stationed at Naval Hospital Pensacola in the early 1980s, Pelletier attributes her outstanding work ethic to the training she received while serving in the Navy.
Shawn Bernard, an IT specialist with NETC Education Management, was recognized as the Junior COQ. He works with the My Education website, which supports the Navy College Program and is a resource for Sailors who are preparing to make the next move in their careers through voluntary education.
"Mr. Bernard rebuilt the My Education Tuition Assistance documents to ensure all reports would be available to users when the application underwent technical refresh," said Laurine Anderson, branch manager. "He was an integral part of the upgrade project where he worked against short timelines.”
Anderson said Bernard is highly respected by his peers for his technical knowledge and expertise along with his willingness to learn and collaborate on projects.
Bernard served 15 years in the Navy before taking an internship at NETC in early 2015 through Pathways, a federal government program for students and recent graduates.
"Hard work and education have helped me reap rewards in my life, and it allows me to be an example for family and friends as well as those who are not as fortunate in life," said Bernard.
