WASHINGTON D.C. (NNS) – Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) recognized their 2018 top performers during the NRC Recruiters of the Year (ROY) ceremony at the United States Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C., Jan. 24.
Selection for this award is a testament to the hard work of these Sailors, their talent acquisition expertise and their positive impact in local communities.
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.”
The active component enlisted ROY, Chief Interior Communication Electrician Hilary Martin, who is assigned to Navy Recruiting District (NRD) Richmond, said she is thankful to represent all those who made a positive impact on her life.
“I am elated and humbled to be selected as a Recruiter of the Year,” said Martin. “I believe that I stand out because of my ability to lead, mentor, and inspire my peers, Future Sailors and prospects. The most important factor that allowed me to stand out was my team; unity is strength. No one makes it to this point alone, and I was blessed to have the backing of such a remarkable team.”
As reward for her achievements in recruiting and as a Navy leader, Burke meritoriously promoted Martin to the paygrade of E7 and appointed her as a chief petty officer during the event. The ceremony concluded with a thunderous applause from family, friends and the senior Navy leadership in attendance.
“Our recruiters in the field are our weapons system, and our Sailors are our greatest strength. From coast to coast and around the world, our recruiters bring the Navy to the front doors of Future Sailors,” said McLane. “These recruiters of the year achieved their impressive results through hard work and innovative techniques. They represent the finest our recruiting nation has to offer and it is my absolute honor to work for them every single day.”
