“It was an honor to personally listen to and observe several highly-skilled instructors that have implemented modernized training first-hand in one of our Navy's most cutting-edge learning environments," Nowakowski said. "The schools are employing state-of-the-art technologies to Sailors so that they are ready to operate their equipment the day they report to the Fleet, our ultimate customer. It is critical that we continue to become better, faster and more effective to win in today's near peer competitive environment. To say 'I am impressed' at our level of instruction is an under-statement."
