WASHINGTON, D.C. - Navy Talent Acquisition Group (NTAG) Great Lakes Sailor, Chief Navy Counselor Kade Henderson visited Washington D.C. for Navy Recruiting Command’s (NRC) Recruiter of the Year week celebration during the week of December 9th through the 14th. NCC Henderson was named NRC’s Division Leading Chief Petty Officer (DLCPO) for fiscal year 2024.
Some of the activities included visiting the pentagon, commissioning the strike group, attending the Recruiter of the Year award ceremony and taking part in the Army-Navy game.
“The best part of the week was meeting some of the best Sailors from across the nation,” NCC Henderson said. “All of the winners had positive mentalities and were team players in every aspect.”
Additionally, NCC Henderson and other Sailors had the opportunity to meet with some of the Navy’s highest leaders, such as the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the Secretary of the Navy, the Honorable Carlos Del Toro and the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, James Honea.
“Meeting with MCPON Honea was one of my favorite parts of the week,” NCC Henderson said. “We discussed the senior enlisted marketplace and some of his priorities.”
At the end of the week, NRC held a recruiter of the year ceremony, where recipients received their awards.
“For me, winning DLCPO of the year is a huge accolade,” Henderson said. “It’s a direct reflection of the caliber of Sailors I worked with over the past year.”
NCC Henderson is currently acting as NTAG Great Lakes enlisted assistant chief recruiter (eACR). Prior to taking over, he served as the DLCPO of Division 6, which includes five recruiting stations and 16 Sailors.
His recruiters describe him as having good merit, and humble. Aviation Boatswain's Mate 1st Class Cyiah Wright, a recruiter with Navy Recruiting Station Milwaukee says it came as no surprise when he was selected as NRC’s DLCPO of the year.
“Chief Henderson is a never ending revolving door of active process, constantly wanting professional and personal growth for himself and others,” Wright said. “His ability to create a respectful and positive sounding board within his Division is one to be admired and hopefully duplicated throughout Navy recruiting.”
