MARIETTA, Ga. – Navy Recruiting District Atlanta held a change of command ceremony on Dobbins Air Reserve Base.
Commander Kim Y. Green, from Lakeland, Fla. Was relieved by Commander Steven Schultz, a McGregor, Iowa native, during the ceremony which was held in the Clay National Guard Center.
Green reminded her Sailors of the important role they fill for the U.S. Navy.
“Recruiters never forget, you are not just a recruiter, you are molding tomorrow’s Navy leaders,” she said. “You all ensure the U.S. Navy remains the strongest, most resilient, and smartest Navy in the world. You are changing people’s lives for the better.”
Green assumed command of Navy Recruiting District (NRD) Atlanta on August 10th, 2017. Her vision for NRD Atlanta was for the command to be known throughout Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) as one of the best districts.
Mission accomplished. During her tenure, they were awarded the FY17 Commander Navy Recruiting Command (CNRC) Silver R, the first ever in NRD Atlanta history.
“We ranked as the #1 Navy Recruiting District in Region East and the #2 district in the Nation,” she said to a packed auditorium. “It could not have been done without every person in the command going above and beyond what was expected of them and I thank each and every one of you for that.”
Green’s next assignment will be as the Director of Operations (N3) at Commander Navy Recruiting Command in Millington, Tenn.
Quoting Maya Angelou, she said, “If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.”
She told her Sailors to always continue to grow, both personally and professionally.
“Remember,” Green said. “You should never depart a command the same person as you arrived. Leave better!”
She was relieved by Shultz who served as the Executive Officer for NRD Atlanta. His previous tours include the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD) MMCO aboard USS George Washington (CVN 73) forward deployed in Yokosuka, Japan and served at Naval Test Wing Pacific onboard Naval Air Station Point Mugu, Calif., as the Wing Maintenance Officer.
Shultz said his primary goal is to do what he can to help the NRD Atlanta team achieve all production goals while also being able to spend quality time with their families.
“Commander Green’s experience and knowledge of recruiting programs and requirements were a positive,” he said. “Spending the past 18-months as her XO, she was able to educate me on what I need to do as a CO to continue to keep NRD Atlanta on the path of success that she created.
The Navy Recruiting consists of a command headquarters, three Navy Recruiting Regions, 20 Navy Recruiting Districts and six Navy Talent Acquisition Groups that serve more than 1,300 recruiting stations with a total force of more than 6,100 personnel across the globe. Their combined goal is to attract the highest quality candidates to assure the ongoing success of America’s Navy.
