\u00a0
\u201cForty-two years of dedicated service to our Navy and great nation is truly notable,\u201d said SCSTC ATRC\u2019s Commanding Officer, Cmdr.

Vicks began her career for the Department of the U.S. Navy in June 1981 as a clerk typist at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS) in Bremerton, Washington.\u00a0 From 1983 to 1995, she worked as a nuclear engineering technician for PSNS\u2019s nuclear engineering department and in February 1995, she was detailed for temporary assignment as a software tester for a Navy shipyard-wide planning tool being developed at Norfolk Naval Shipyard.\u00a0 In September 1996, Vicks joined the ATRC team and assumed her current management assistant position.\u00a0
\u00a0
Mrs. Amanda Blackman, SCSTC ATRC\u2019s director of training and facilities readiness, says Vicks is an indispensable member of the team.<\/p>\n

“As the primary assistant and advisor to me, Ms. Vicks performs numerous administrative duties,\u201d she explained.\u00a0 \u201cOne of her most significant responsibilities is serving as the primary Government Purchase Card holder facilitating procurement of supplies, equipment, and services support for our large schoolhouse.\u00a0 She also advises division heads and department personnel on office policies and procedures.\u00a0 Furthermore, she conducts editorial reviews, timekeeping for civilians, and tracks important training requirements.\u00a0 Bonnie ensues our team is effective and efficient in our daily operations so that we can provide the fleet and our allies with highly trained surface warfighters to maintain, operate and employ the Aegis weapon system.”<\/p>\n

Vicks says she is honored to have worked with such a great team for over 27 years.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cI am truly grateful to work for an organization that cares deeply about our Sailors and civilians,\u201d she said.\u00a0 \u201cThank you all for your kind words and praises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vicks plans on taking various fitness classes, perfecting her recipe for frittatas and french toast, visiting friends around the country, and relaxing with her fur baby.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cI\u2019ll miss my Aegis family, but I am looking forward to my next adventure.\u201d
