- Dear Sam Hoyt,
- I am applying for the Submarine Navigation In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) / Submarine Navigation Specialist position. I bring extensive U.S. Navy navigation experience focused on readiness, training, assessment, and standardized navigation program execution. My background includes leading evaluations, mentoring navigation teams, and supporting fleet personnel through shipboard navigation systems training and implementation.
- In my current role as a Fleet Navigator, I conduct navigation check rides and readiness events, perform watch-team assessments, and mentor navigators and assistant navigators to strengthen safe navigation practices and compliance. I also use Excel-based trackers and data tools to improve how navigation statistics and readiness information are collected, organized, and used for decision-making.
- Previously, as a Senior Navigator, I planned and executed safe navigation over long-distance routes while managing system readiness and maintenance tracking to support operational success. Earlier in my career, I served as a Navigation Training Instructor, training over 200 future mariners in navigation and watchstanding while supporting administrative and technical needs. In addition to operational and training leadership, I have direct training experience with Surface Electronic Charting Display System and Voyage Management System, which aligns closely with the role’s focus on testing, fielding, and supporting fleet implementation and training.
- I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my navigation assessment experience, training background, and systems familiarity can support Noblis and the U.S. Navy mission. Thank you for your time and consideration.
- Sincerely
