RINALDI IS SUB LEARNING CENTER’S CIVILIAN OF THE QUARTER

Groton — The Submarine Learning Center named Scott Rinaldi as the Civilian of the Quarter for the second quarter of 2017 during an all-hands ceremony on July 21.

Rinaldi is the SLC’s Domain Information Systems security manager and Cyberspace IT/ Cyber Security Work Force program manager, supporting instructional staff and students across a domain that trains 3,300 submarine sailors on a daily basis.

“I strive to do and be my best every day,” he said, “and in the environment of excellence in which I work, that quickly becomes your daily routine and benchmark as it does for those around you.”

Rinaldi continued, “Recognition programs help everyone to feel valued and valuable. I’m honored and humbled by my selection because it means my efforts are noticed and appreciated by so many people across the command.”

Rinaldi has worked for SLC since October 2015.

In announcing his selection, Capt. Andrew Jarrett, commanding officer of the SLC, praised Rinaldi’s rapid responses and multi-tasking abilities, “(R) ecognizing a void caused by the unplanned departure of both the Information System Security manager (ISSM) and classroom support contract technical adviser (TA) for the training site (in Groton), Mr. Rinaldi provided seamless support to Naval Submarine School while continuing to provide cyber security (CS) oversite to all (of our) learning sites.”

Jarrett added, “Mr. Rinaldi continuously reviewed workflows, establishing and/or improving processes to ensure training delivery despite resource constraints.(and) rapidly integrated himself into the training support organization of Naval Submarine School, his work ensuring our training networks are accessible, available, and compliant.”

The Submarine Learning Center’s primary function is to create, coordinate and execute the future training and education vision for the Submarine Force. As such, it is accountable for all undersea curriculums, training delivery methodologies, and for developing and maintaining professional development continuums for all undersea warfare officers and ratings to include electronics technician (communications and navigation), fire control technician, sonar technician, machinist’s mate (auxiliary and weapons), missile technician, and all nuclear training ratings.
