Sailor First Class (S1) Chloe Schriemer is shining bright at the Royal Canadian Navy’s new Advanced Naval Capabilities Unit (ANCU). Due to her outstanding efforts, she has been awarded Sailor of the Quarter (SOQ) for the months of October to December.

“I was honoured to receive the Sailor of the Quarter,” says SI Schriemer. “I am very fortunate to work at a unit like ANCU. Since my first day on the Maritime Tactical Coxswain (MTC) Course until now, I’ve had the privilege of strong mentorship and great coworkers. The other MTCs and the [Maritime Technical Operators] are incredible people to work with. It’s easy to show up and put in your best effort when you’re working alongside people who are great at what they do.”

Known for her reliability, professionalism, and commitment, S1 Schriemer has proven herself to be an invaluable asset to her unit as the MTC. Her leadership extends beyond training, as she supports ANCU and the fleet with small boat operations and taskings, ensuring seamless execution under tight timelines and adverse conditions.

“Its no surprise to the team and myself that S1 Schriemer received SOQ as she always exemplifies the highest standards of leadership and professionalism required of a sailor within the Royal Canadian Navy,” says Petty Officer First Class (PO1) Andrew Astles, her supervisor. “Her outstanding ability to lead the Maritime Tactical Coxswains with confidence and precision is a testament to her exceptional skill set, unwavering commitment, and dedication to duty.”  

Reflecting the Royal Canadian Naval ethos both on and off duty, S1 Schriemer leads by example, consistently working alongside her subordinates during challenging tasks. Her dedication has cultivated a collaborative team environment where ideas are welcome and incorporated, fostering a culture of positivity and excellence.

In addition to leadership abilities, S1 Schriemer recently completed the Rigid Hull Inflatable Operation Training course delivered by the Canadian Coast Guard, along with her QL training packages. She also seeks ongoing professional development by completing numerous training courses to enhance her skills as an MTC and leader.

S1 Schriemer has taken on multiple secondary duties, including MTO boat liaison, small boat training coordinator, and acting small boat supervisor in the absence of her PO1. Beyond work, she promotes fitness within her team and is deeply involved in her local Judo community, mentoring new members and children to develop a passion for the sport.

Her unwavering dedication, leadership, and drive continue to set a high standard within ANCU, making her an inspiring role model for her peers and subordinates alike.
