CNIC Selects 2023 Shore Enterprise Sailor of the Year

Hasbrouck, who is also Navy Region Europe, Africa, Central’s Sailor of the Year, was one of four finalists who competed to earn the prestigious award, which includes a spot promotion to chief petty officer.

“Although I’m merely representing the physical form of the Sailor of the Year, there has been many, many puzzle pieces that have come together to create who I am today,” said Hasbrouck, who hails from Forest City, Iowa. “I would like to take this moment to express my greatest gratitude to Naval Support Activity Bahrain, all the leaders, my peers, and my junior Sailors there.”

To be able to compete for the honor, Sailors must consistently demonstrate superb job performance, contribute to the enhancement of command climate, participate in peer group development events and community service activities, showcase educational accomplishments, and meet physical fitness standards to name a few.

 

“You’re here today because you exceed the standard all the time,” said Naval District Washington Commandant Rear Adm. Nancy Lacore, who was the guest speaker. “You’ve demonstrated superior leadership, professionalism and commitment to duty that sets you apart from your peers and I am really proud of each of you.” 

 

Hasbrouck currently serves as Naval Support Activity Bahrain’s Harbor Patrol Unit leading petty officer, where she leads and mentors more than 125 Sailors while providing oversight of operation and maintenance of fully mission capable Harbor Security boats. She sustained operational capability by ensuring that watch stations were adequately manned utilizing faster reporting tool providing real time manning and force availability information in accordance with CNIC guidelines.

 

“We’re 10 regions and 70 installations, so when I say these Sailors up here are the top of the pinnacle of what we do every day at CNIC, that’s truly a profound statement and it’s an important one,” said the shore enterprise’s Force Master Chief Jason Dunn. “Congratulations for all of you being here.”
