SAN DIEGO -- Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) San Diego Executive Officer, Lt. Cmdr. Jordan Adler and Senior Enlisted Leader, Master Chief Information Systems Technician Terrence Ingram, visited IWTC San Diego Training Site Hawaii onboard Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Aug. 17-19.
The visit included discussions with IWTC San Diego Training Site Hawaii’s leadership, a tour of the site’s facilities, and an all-hands call with the entire instructor staff.
Additionally, Adler and Ingram also toured the battleship USS Missouri to see the work that IWTC San Diego Training Site Hawaii Sailors have accomplished through the “Adopt-a-Space” program and presented a letter of commendation to Cryptologic Technician (Technical) 1st Class Drew Hunkeler for his selection as IWTC San Diego Sailor of the Quarter.
“It was great to meet the entire IWTC San Diego Training Site Hawaii team, see the changes that the site has made since the last command leadership visit, tour new spaces being constructed, and see the awesome volunteer work that site Sailors are doing onboard USS Missouri,” stated Ingram.
“I am immensely proud of the hard work that our Hawaii instructor cadre performs on a daily basis” remarked Adler. “These teammates define character and competence that our Navy and students truly benefit from. I wanted the entire team to know how important they are to enabling information warfare readiness – afloat and ashore – to ensure our Naval team can certify and perform on deployment or in a warfighting support role. Additionally, their willingness to volunteer to help upkeep USS Missouri is a testament to honoring the ship’s heritage and being a good ambassador for our Navy, seen by thousands of visitors each year.”
