GROTON, Conn. - Naval Submarine School (NSS) announced the selection of Silvio Querido as the 2017 fourth quarter Civilian of the Quarter (COQ) Nov. 20.

Querido began working for SLC in 2012. He is a member of the Training Support Department and serves as training technician for all NSS students, facilitating gains, transfers and program screenings.

NSS Commanding Officer Capt. Aaron Thieme praised Querido as “the driving force for all student transfer availabilities as well as those in awaiting-transfer status.”

Thieme noted, “(Querido) personally ensured clear status was communicated up and down the chain of command and tirelessly worked to resolve the myriad of issues associated with the end-of-fiscal-year constraints to ensure our students transferred as efficiently as possible.”

Naval Submarine School’s mission is to train officers and enlisted Sailors in basic knowledge and skills which submarine commands in the Atlantic and Pacific can build upon to develop competence and proficiency in operating and maintaining submarines and all their systems; provide functional, refresher, advanced, and team training to submarine and submarine support personnel to increase and maintain knowledge and proficiency in specific skills; furnish specific operationally oriented support to submarines to ensure maximum effectiveness of their sensor systems and perform all other training and sensor support as required and requested.

Naval Submarine School trained over 50,000 students in over 150 courses in 2016.
