PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) recognized the Junior and Senior Civilian of the Quarter (COQ) at an awards ceremony onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola Oct. 3.
NETC Commander Rear Adm. Kyle Cozad praised the awardees for their hard work and consistent effort supporting the Navy's training mission.
"The NETC team is made up of outstanding military and civilian professionals who bring critical knowledge, skills and abilities to what we do at NETC every day," said Cozad. "It's my privilege to recognize the efforts of two of our team members who work tirelessly to ensure our mission of training and educating Sailors continues to move forward. Whether improving our information technology (IT) tools or helping others learn and embrace evolving technology advancements, both of these dedicated team players are making a tremendous impact."
Joseph Taylor, an IT specialist supervisor, was named the Senior COQ for his leadership during the completion of the migration of all NETC public websites to other IT cloud services. Additionally, he oversaw the implementation of several key IT systems supporting the Navy College Voluntary Education Center (NCVEC).
The NCVEC serves as the Navy College Program's central location for tuition assistance processing and education services. This initiative is part of an ongoing effort to increase virtual and self-service options for Sailors.
"Mr. Taylor has a knack for leading people and driving innovation to the voluntary education program, where he has used his skills and enthusiasm to provide new Sailor self-service tools to the fleet," said Bruce Bare, NETC architecture and governance portfolio manager. "He has the unique ability to get three or four people in a room and move beyond current circumstances."
Working in government for more than three and half decades, with nearly eight years at NETC, Taylor said he likes having the opportunity to support projects where he can have a positive impact on the lives of service members.
"I have to say that the work with the Voluntary Education program has been some of the most rewarding work I've ever been privileged to support," said Taylor. "Our team is dedicated to ensuring our service members continue to obtain services needed to achieve their higher education goals and objectives."
NETC Support Services Supervisor Jeffrey Williamson was recognized as the Junior COQ. He oversees the daily operation of the administration department, managing congressional- and flag-level correspondence, including more than one hundred chief of naval operations and secretary of the Navy tasks and action correspondence. He is the domain organization administrator for the Department of the Navy Tasking, Records and Consolidated Knowledge Enterprise Repository (DON TRACKER).
"With the implementation of DON TRACKER, our team has ensured a smooth transition for the NETC domain," said Williamson. "Our admin department spent many hours learning the new system while simultaneously assisting headquarters and domain personnel on how to use it."
Additionally, Williamson manages the Navy department awards website entries and reviews local instructions and notices.
"As the newly reporting administrative officer at NETC, I have relied heavily on Mr. Williamson," said Cristi Zajic. "He does an incredible job staying on top of all the admin requirements."
