“It is an honor to be selected for this award,” he said.
Derrick discusses the importance of being an instructor.
“I enjoy being able to work with an entire Air Defense watchteam to ensure they have the knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to build doctrine correctly and set up and operate their system in the most efficient way possible,” he explained. “I get to Introduce, re-introduce, and discuss new capabilities, philosophies, and lessons learned to help make the fleet a better fighting force as they progress through their Basic Phase.”
In and out of the classroom, Derrick supports the Navy's mission by striving to do his best and establishing the highest standards for his students. He is a true role model for tomorrow’s Navy.
“Good training and instructors are vital links in maintaining our Navy's superiority in an ever-changing geopolitical situation and with the advent of new capabilities and requirements on ships,” he said. “I get to plug in with my team and work to build a solid foundation upon which each ship can progress from to stay safe when executing their mission.”
