Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) announced its 2018 Training Excellence Award (TEA) winners, Feb. 14.

The annual award recognizes activities that demonstrate superior performance in the naval education and training environment.

“The Training Excellence Award recipients epitomize the highest degree of training excellence found throughout NETC,” said Rear Adm. Kyle Cozad, NETC commander. “Their continued success in the delivery of training ensures highly-trained, top-quality Sailors are available to meet the needs of our fleet.”

NETC TEAs are composed of three categories – the NETC Training Excellence Award, the NETC Training Support Excellence Award and Functional Merit Awards -- and are based on the highest degree of training excellence achieved at the end of the competitive cycle.

Center for Information Warfare Training and Training Support Center Hampton Roads earned the NETC Training Excellence Award (White T) and the NETC Training Support Excellence Award (White TS), respectively. Both commands will receive a certificate for permanent retention and a burgee to be displayed throughout 2019.
