Farrales, a 1996 graduate of Bonita Vista High School, was selected by NSCS staff for their exemplary leadership while completing the Basic Qualification Course (BQC), an intensive program that prepares officers for the logistical demands of the Navy Supply Corps, which is considered to be one of the Navy’s greatest assets.
The BQC is a crucial step for aspiring Supply Corps officers, equipping them with the skills to manage supply chains and provide logistical support for the Navy.
Farrales earned a degree from San Diego State University in 2001. Farrales joined the Navy 14 years ago.
“Being recognized for this leadership award means a lot to me especially because I was nominated and selected by the instructors and staff here at the Navy Supply Corps School,” said Farrales. “I am humbled to be presented with this award and proud to represent my fellow classmates. I hope that my mentorship will further help them reach their goals both professionally and personally.”
Navy Supply Corps officers play a critical role in ensuring sailors have the equipment and resources they need to maintain readiness and counter global threats.
