MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) – Navy Counselor Chief Petty Officer Sandra Kimball was recognized as Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) Department Leading Chief Petty Officer of the Year for 2018 during the Recruiter of the Year (ROY) ceremony at the Navy Memorial in Washington D.C., Jan. 24.
Selection for this award is a testament to Kimball’s talent acquisition expertise and her positive impact in the local community.
Attendees of the event included Adm. William Moran, vice chief of naval operations, Vice Adm. Robert Burke, chief of naval personnel, Rear Adm. John Nowell, director, military personnel plans and policy, Rear Adm. Brendan McLane, commander, NRC, Rear Adm. Andrew Mueller, deputy commander, NRC, Command Master Chief of NRC, Donald Charbonneau, and National Chief Recruiter, Master Chief Navy Counselor Franklin Tiongco.
“You are all the best of the best, and I’m privileged to recognize these 17 individuals who have gone above and beyond their roles as Navy recruiters,” said Burke. “Their dedication and commitment has really raised the bar for their fellow recruiters.”
Kimball is currently assigned to Navy Recruiting District Miami and credits this achievement to her chain of command and their support.
“It feels amazing and very surreal, almost unbelievable,” said Kimball. “I am beyond blessed and honestly don’t even have the words to express my appreciation and gratitude to my Division and Chain of Command for all their support and most of all believing in me as one of their Leaders.”
The ceremony concluded a thunderous applause from family, friends and the senior Navy leadership attending.
“Today the nation is asking us to build a bigger, more capable, more talented fleet,” said McLane. “One that is networked, agile, and ready to stand up to near-peer competitors. And these Sailors are doing just that. The recruiters of the year represent the challenges, rewards and opportunity that is woven throughout recruiting nation, and it is my absolute honor to work for them every single day.”
