With 1,866 graduates in 2024, the Navy Supply Corps School (NSCS) continues its tradition of excellence in training and education. This achievement underscores the school’s rock-solid commitment to the highest quality in training and professional development, preparing future leaders who will carry the Navy Supply Corps’ mission forward.
“This level of achievement was made possible only through ALL our efforts,” said NSCS Senior Enlisted Leader AZC Chris Allen. “Whether you are active duty military, Training and Administration of Reserves (TAR), General Schedule (GS), instructor, support staff, BQC, HAZMAT or JASMMM, we have all played our parts exceptionally well. Together, we’re laying the foundation for future leaders who may rise to become the Chief of the Supply Corps, AIRBOSS, Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) or even the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO). The professional foundation that we instill in our students stays with them throughout their careers - make it count! I personally want to say ‘Thank you!’ to everyone for their efforts this year. I look forward to 2025 where we will undoubtedly increase our impact even further.”
