A new tradition…passing along the sword

A new tradition has begun at the Navy Sup- ply Corps School. Each year a graduate of the BQC course, selected by the staff, is awarded the Founda- tion sponsored Leadership Award. This year, instead of the traditional plaque, award winner ENS Made- leine Fuentes received a sword donated by the family of the late CAPT Warren DeYoung. CAPT DeYoung’s family had approached the Foundation about paying tribute to CAPT DeYoung by passing his sword on to an honor graduate of the Navy Supply Corps School. They said “this sword represents his years of service to the United States Navy. He would be pleased to know that a deserv- ing Navy Supply Corps School graduate will carry on his tradition by wearing the sword that accompanied him throughout his career.” CAPT DeYoung’s service included being part of the advance landing team on D- Day, followed by a distinguished career in the Supply RDML Dave Baucom and CAPT William Hayes presented CAPT DeY- Corps.

NSCS Newport to provide state of the art classrooms By LTJG Greg Hiltz, Navy Supply Corps School Public Affairs Officer Future students of the Navy Supply Corps School will attend their classes in a brand new, 58,000 square foot building onboard Naval Station Newport. The $22 million building, which will eventually bear the name of a Supply Corps officer, is currently being net- worked for Navy-Marine Corps Internet and Training Net capabilities. The building will have significant upgrades that will allow NSCS instructors to more effectively train students to be “Ready for Sea.” There will be eight elec- tronic classrooms, as well as two classrooms that will be used for video tele-training. In addition, the building will house a multi-purpose room that can hold up to 150 students or can be segmented into three differ- ent conference rooms. To allow students to see their training in a more practical environment, the building will have a mock up of a ship’s store and a laboratory to simulate afloat Navy Cash operations. “One of the keys to our new facility will be trans- lating classroom learning into real-world practice, and the use of break-out rooms and laboratories will more The brand new Navy Supply Corps School is a 58,000 square foot building efficiently train our students for their roles in the fleet,” onboard Naval Station Newport.
