From NSWC PCD Public Affairs PANAMA CITY — Former Naval Surface Warfare Center Pana- ma City Division Commanding Officer Capt. Scott Pratt and Technical Director Ed Stewart presented 11 employees with the Department of the Navy’s third highest civilian service awards, the Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Award, on Oct 31. “Our people do amazing things for our warfighters and to improve the effectiveness and ef- ficiency of our products and ser- vices; but, to award a medal for significant accomplishment is not something we do every day — it is a big deal and something to be celebrated,” Stewart said. “Capt. Pratt and I are pleased to honor 11 of Panama City’s best and brightest, and it is great to see so many of the family mem- bers here as well to share in this occasion.” NSWC PCD Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Award recipients include: • Dr. Peter Adair provided ex- emplary leadership as the Head of the Analysis and Tactics Divi- sion and was responsible for the technical oversight and develop- ment of numerous, high visibility analytical and tactical efforts in Susan Trahan | Navy support of Mine Countermea- Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division’s Technical Director Ed Stewart and Commanding Officer Capt.
