                       Tuesday, November 16, 2004

  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a constituent, 
Intelligence Specialist Senior Chief Petty Officer Stephanie A. Storch. 
Senior Chief Storch is retiring after twenty-one years of dedicated 
service to the nation.
  Senior Chief Storch began her career in 1983 as a Mess Specialist. 
During her initial assignment to Naval Radio Receiving Facility (NRRF) 
Kami Seya, Japan, her professionalism was first recognized when she was 
selected a 1985 Junior Sailor of the Quarter. In 1986 she joined the 
Intelligence field and reported to Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron 
THREE (VQ-3), Naval Air Station Barbers Point, Hawaii.
  Senior Chief Storch served throughout the Pacific Theater and the 
Middle East in a career that focused on Intelligence training and Naval 
Special Warfare operations. Her leadership and academic accolades are 
numerous from her 1993 Navy League Woman of the Year selection to the 
distinction of graduating in the top 1 percent of her Berlitz Language 
School Arabic class. Senior Chief Storch's Special Operations and 
Training expertise merged in March 2000, when she was assigned to 
Commander, Naval Special Warfare Command as the Force Intelligence 
Specialist for Naval Special Warfare.
  Senior Chief Storch culminates her service at the Joint Intelligence 
Training Activity Pacific (JITAP) where she is the Asymmetric Warfare 
Branch Head and Senior Enlisted Advisor. She is an Intelligence 
professional and leader who always put the welfare of her sailors 
first. Senior Chief Storch's performance reflects greatly on herself, 
the United States Navy, and our country. I extend my deepest 
appreciation to Intelligence Specialist Senior Chief Petty Officer 
Stephanie A. Storch for her 21 years of dedicated military service and 
wish her and her family all the best in the years to follow. I am glad 
to hear that upon retirement, Senior Chief Storch and her family, CWO3 
Ernest J. Storch, USN and two sons, Adam and Daniel will continue to 
make San Diego County their home.
