Groton — The Submarine Learning Center named Donald C. Fauver as the Civilian of the Quarter for the third quarter of 2016 during an all-hands ceremony on Oct. 14.

Fauver is the Defense Property Accountability System Manager for the SLC headquarters in Groton as well as for the training sites in fleet concentrations areas from Norfolk, Va., to Guam, supporting both the training professionals and the devices and classrooms they require to deliver timely and time-sensitive training to all non-nuclear enlisted and officer submarine sailors.

"I'm both honored and humbled," Fauver said. "It is nice to be recognized for years of consistent improvement to a program that needed a lot of attention. I could not have done this without the hard work of the thirty sailors and civilians from Groton to Guam who help me manage the inventory at the various learning sites."

A retired Navy Senior Chief Operations Specialist, Fauver has worked for the SLC for four years.

Capt. Andrew Jarrett when announcing Fauver's selection, noted, "I'm always pleased to recognize stellar performers and Don Fauver is definitely one of ours.

"Working jointly with our learning sites and their staff members, he achieved the SLC's first ever, domain-wide 100 percent accurate property inventory. His efforts established accountability for over 660 assets valued at approximately $850 million. His procedures will ensure continued asset control into the foreseeable future."

Fauver appreciates the spotlight but is also quick to share it.

"While the Civilian of the Quarter Program recognizes the efforts of one person, for the SLC's continued success as an organization, everyone on the staff, no matter if you're a sailor or a civilian, has to work as a part of the team.

"I consider myself very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with so many talented individuals. And recognition programs like this one play an important role in assuring each of us that we are both valuable valued members. "

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.
