MWR Announces Employee, Supervisor of the Quarter

Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) at NAS Patuxent River / NRC Solomons has announced Nicholas Dong as Employee of the Quarter and Carrie Jay-Root as Supervisor of the Quarter for the third quarter of FY2025.

Dong is a supply clerk at NRC Solomons who has been instrumental in the success and continued operational flow during the third quarter of the current fiscal year, according to NRC Solomons Facilities Director Adaryll Ferguson. He reconfigured and populated a backup document tracker that identifies all current on-board patrons, verified that contract packages met all CNIC requirements and helped track RV storage spots.

“He assisted with patron support/front-line customer service all while executing his regular assigned duties. Mr. Dong is an invaluable asset to the NRC Solomons team,” Ferguson said.

Root is the site director for NRC Solomons. In addition to overseeing all operations at the recreation center, she also actively supports programs at other MWR facilities throughout the year and is instrumental in lifeguard training and hiring for both NRC Solomons and NAS Patuxent River. She also supported a new program at the golf course this past spring.

John Malinowski, manager of Cedar Point Golf Course at NAS Patuxent River, said, “She embodies the 'one team' concept and 'walks the walk' as a team member."
