PENSACOLA, Fla. - Capt. Brett St. George relieved Capt. Kertreck Brooks as the Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) commanding officer at a change of command ceremony Oct. 4 onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola.

He also led efforts to launch Web Tuition Assistance (WebTA), which delivers unparalleled customer service to Sailors by providing greater Sailor self-service functionality. St. George assumes command of NETPDC’s 14 military and 202 civilian personnel, most of whom are assigned at Saufley Field in Pensacola. He came to NETPDC from U.S. Northern Command in Colorado Springs, Colo. NETPDC's mission is to provide Navy-wide products and services that enhance and enable training, education, personnel advancement and career development. The primary elements of the command include the Navy Advancement Center, and the Voluntary Education and Resources Management Departments. Brooks will transfer to San Francisco under the Secretary of the Navy Tours with Industry (SNTWI) to serve as a Navy fellow at LinkedIn. (Source: NETPDC 10/09/19)
