The In Service Engineering Office provided technical support and expertise on over 150 survival NASTP training devices, at eight Aviation Survival Training Centers (ASTC) and directly contributes to the successful CNO deemed mission essential high-risk training of over 22,500 joint warfighters annually. In addition, ISEO assist the Naval Survival Training Institute (NSTI) during each site's annual Quality Assurance and Revalidation (QA&R) inspections positively impacting and improving NSTI's maintenance program.The NASTP ISEO has accomplished a great deal and is deserving of this recognition. The ISEO identified a cost-effective solution for the flight simulator software of the 9A17 Mask-on Breathing Device (MOBD) transitioning from X-Plane to Prepar3d, has been directly involved with the test and acceptance of the MOBD since the prototype was initially introduced in 2018, spearheaded a cost-effective solution eliminating maintenance issues with the 9A19 Normobaric Hypoxia Trainer (NHT) MD1 regulators, and drafted a cyber security plan in FY23Q1, allowing our ISEO to perform Assured Compliance Assessment Solution (ACAS) scans and image backups on all NASTP training devices with both Windows 10 and 11 operating systems.The NASTP ISEO is to be commended for their hard work and professionalism, and commitment in the first quarter of FY2023 in support of the NASTP.

You displayed superior insight into the requirements to ensure the correct engineering standards were created for all available human training centrifuges that completed training for 500 Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers per year. Your continued dedication was evident in the creation of a new Quality Assurance and Revalidation (QA&R)-style checklist that impartially set the engineering standards that the competing contractors had to comply with. You coordinated with the Navy Medicine Operational Training Center (NMOTC) Safety Officer and the NSTI Centrifuge Flight Environment Training Curriculum Model Manager (CFET CMM) to travel to each of the sites, met with engineers at each site to explain the requirements and provided fair assessments of the contractors' capability to reliably provide this Cheif of Naval Operations required training. Furthermore, you traveled again to the selected site to conduct a throrough QA&R-style inspection and confirmed they complied with the findings from your earlier visit. your visit provided the peace of mind required to continue training and ensured there was zero interruption to the Fleet's requirements. Your welecomed advice throughout the entire process was invaluable.Once again, I commend you for your hard work and commitment to the Naval Aviation Survival Training Program and know that your contributions are apperciated by all who serve NSTI, the physiology community and, most importantly, our Nation's warfighters. Thank you for a job well done. "Bravo Zulu"! Show less

The information collected during this study will determine if hypoxia symptoms and onset rates experienced within a portable reduced oxygen training enclosure are similar to those experienced within a hypobaric chamber and if any physiological differences exist between normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia exposures.Your efforts in making the normobaric chamber ready for the safe collection of human subjects data was key to insure our mission success. Results of this research will aid in improving safety and human performance in critical Department of Defense operational aviation and high-altitude settings. Your dedication is truly appreciated and reflects great credit upon you and the United States Navy.Please accept my sincere appreciation for a job well done. Show less
