Members of Army's workforce participating in Phase 2 Course at Rock Island Arsenal

Thirty-four members of the Army's Rock Island Arsenal workforce are taking part in the Civilian Education System's Intermediate Phase 2 Course this month. This on-site offering is being held on 2-20 October and is facilitated by a Mobile Education Team from the Army Management Staff College.

During opening remarks on Oct. 2, Jay Carr, the Joint Munitions Command's executive director for ammunition and the deputy to the commander, said the community was fortunate the course was being offered at the Rock Island Arsenal.

"One of the most challenging things you have with any class like this is you’re going to be away from your work. You are going to think that things that are piling up on your desk are going to be more important than what you learn in this class and that couldn’t be further from the truth," Carr said. "Each one of you has taken a different path to get here and I don’t know what brought you here but what I can tell you is to take the time to listen, to learn, and to talk to your peers that are in this training. The relationships that you’re going to build in this training are relationships that you are going to leverage for the rest of your career regardless of where you go.

“This class is truly important. The things that you learn in this class you’re going to use the rest of your career," Carr added. "I challenge you to take the opportunity that you have in front of you and run with it.”
