# Norfolk’s Sandman awarded DLA Distribution’s Field Grade Officer of the Quarter

By DLA Distribution Public AffairsDLA Distribution Public Affairs

                NORFOLK, Virginia  –              
Navy Lt. Cmdr. Brett Sandman, director of DLA Distribution Norfolk, Va., at New London, Conn., has been awarded the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Field Grade Officer of the Quarter award for third quarter, fiscal year 2015.

“Lt. Cmdr. Sandman’s productive, assertive management style ensured flawless operational distribution support to over 20 Atlantic Fleet submarines while in port and deployed, and over 70 shore organizations in the submarine capital of the world,” said Norfolk’s commander Navy Capt. Harry Thetford.

During the third quarter, Sandman sustained a 100 percent inventory and location audit of all classified and Fly by Wire material across all condition codes, including the rapidly changing Naval Supply Systems Command Weapons Systems Support controlled material, supporting the Virginia class of submarine modernization efforts.

“Under his sustained leadership, all DLA Distribution Norfolk at New London employees and supervisors continue to receive a steady stream of praise from Naval Sea Systems Command program managers, NAVSUP WSS item mangers, and Naval Submarine Force Atlantic Command leadership,” said Thetford.

In Sandman’s off-duty time, he volunteers as the Stewardship Committee chairperson at Mystic Congregational Church, as well as serves as the Financial Peace University assistant coordinator at multiple churches in the local community.  

“Lt. Cmdr. Sandman is totally committed to providing the best support possible to every DLA customer and his chain of command, while he serves as the military face of DLA in the submarine capital of the world,” said Thetford.  “His unparalleled professionalism and infinite dedication go above and beyond to exceed all customer expectations.”
