I was fortunate to be in positions where I could guide teams on engineering projects and programs to achieve safety and readiness goals for the Navy. Additionally, I\u2019ve been fortunate to work on national efforts with my NAWCAD and FRC counterparts and on international efforts with our ally partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Introduced in the 1980s, the Fellows Program became a NAVAIR program in the 2000s, and NAWCAD re-established it in 2021 after a three-year pause in inductions. Inductees into the Fellow Program are nominated and selected by a team of peers based on their tenure and technical accomplishments in safety and readiness. The program is unique in that it does not have senior leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The Fellow Program has three levels of prestige: Associate Fellows, or the first tier, make up the top three percent of scientists and engineers at NAVAIR. Fellows, the second tier, represents the top three-quarters of a percent and is the level Hawkins has achieved. Finally, Esteemed Fellows make up the top one-quarter of a percent. Each level pulls new members from the tier below, and members are inducted by majority vote.<\/p>\n<p>Hawkins\u2019 primary discipline is nondestructive inspection, or the examination of aircraft and components that does not require taking them apart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a privilege to work for the Navy, and I feel like I need to do more and more every day, and that\u2019s the main reason I\u2019m here,\u201d said Hawkins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Fleet Readiness Center Southeast<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) is Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia\u2019s largest maintenance, repair, overhaul and technical services provider, employing approximately 5,000 civilian, military and contract workers.
