Imagine a military where warfighters can train anywhere on a submarine, whether in the crew’s mess, the engine room or other onboard spaces. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) is making this vision a reality with the Multipurpose Reconfigurable Training System 3-Dimensional® (MRTS 3D®) Lab's new capability: the Mobile -Navy Enhanced Simulation for Training (Mobile-NEST).

According to the NAVAIR website, the NAVAIR Leadership Development Program (NLDP) is the command’s flagship leadership development program and is part of an ongoing commitment to the continuous personal and professional growth of our workforce. The program is designed for high performing mid-to-senior level employees who demonstrate leadership potential.

NAWCTSD has decided to take a different approach by rewarding ideal behaviors and beliefs to lead to results. During the 19 May Awards Ceremony, CAPT Covelli honored seven individuals/ groups for displaying behaviors that will take NAWCTSD to the next level.
