RANKS #2 OF 49 RECRUITERS AND #4 OF 96 COMMAND E6S

• Inspirational leader. As LPO, he mentored and developed three Recruiters and 79 Future Sailors with unprecedented results, 70 of his Future Sailors promoted to next paygrade, and two of his Recruiters completed their LPO PQS. He enrolled in college and USMAP, completed Navy COOL certifications, and earned one “heavy hitter” and two “six-shooter” awards. His leadership has established my command’s standard for excellence!

• Irreplaceable recruiting asset. Focusing on CNRC’s priorities, he led NRS Palmdale to receive 11 separate production awards, enlisting 240% of assigned high school senior goal for the year. 16% of all contracts under his charge were in Nuclear and SPECWAR programs making his average monthly production of 4.8, resulting in selection as Division Two LPO of the Year.

• Stellar initiative. He is the First Class Petty Officer Association Vice President, Command Mentorship Coordinator, and Sailor of the Year nominee. Navy COOL gave NRD Los Angeles national recognition for guiding 42 more of my Sailors to certify DHS Sensitive Security Information.

HIS LEADERSHIP IS ON-PAR WITH MY #1 CPO. PROMOTE TO THE CHIEF IMMEDIATELY!
