Wounded veterans serving a second time as government employees bring a certain strength and commitment to their jobs, according to Kenneth Cadena, a Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Wounded Warrior Program and Command Recruitment advocate. 

“They’ve transitioned through a difficult phase of their lives,” he said. “Not only do they closely identify with the warfighter; they are highly aware of what is at stake when it comes to providing capabilities.  They want to continue to make a difference in the next phase of their careers.”

Two enlisted continuous process improvement (CPI) practitioners and two Fleet Readiness Centers (FRC) were each recognized with a Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) Excellence in CPI Award during the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) 2018 CPI Training Symposium held July 24-25.

Continuous process improvement (CPI) practitioners must hone their data analysis skills to provide better value for their customers, according to Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) senior leadership during the two-day NAVAIR 2018 CPI Training Symposium held at the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center in California, Maryland, on July 24-25. 

Almost 200 CPI practitioners from across all four services and several Navy systems commands (SYSCOMs) attended the two-day training event—the first gathering of its kind in nearly 10 years.
