Sailor of the Year

2010 Sailor of the Year
Hall Automotive will be sponsoring the 2010 Sailor of the Year Award. Each year, sixty sailors 
come to Hampton Roads from around the globe to compete to be recognized as the USFFC Sailor of the Year.
Six type commands, that’s every ship, station or command in the United States Fleet Forces 
Command, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, Naval Network Warfare Command, Naval Surface Forces Atlantic, Naval Air Force Atlantic, and Submarine Forces Atlantic send their top enlisted (E-4 to E-6) candidates to go through boards and evaluations.
To showcase the Mid Atlantic area Navy League of the United States, Hampton Roads along with numerous sponsors host these sailors and their spouses to various social events held throughout the cities of Hampton Roads. This is an opportunity to show our appreciation for them exemplify leadership, professionalism, dedication, and superior performance. At the completion of the process, the selectees are narrowed down 
to twelve sailors who will return April 15, 2010. The culmination is an Announcement Banquet to honor the top candidates as the “Best of the Best” Sea/Shore Sailor of the Year. Simultaneously, the Pacific Fleet and Navy Reserves are holding their competitions. In July, these sailors then go to Washington D.C. to be recognized and promoted to Chief Petty Officer at a ceremony conducted by the Chief of Naval Operations and presented the Navy Commendation Medal.
So, ultimately to be a Sailor of the Year out of 300,000 enlisted active duty personnel is phenomenal!
