I take pleasure in commending your exceptionally outstanding performance of duty as a Leading Petty Officer. You have earned this Gold Wreath Award for Navy Recruiting Station Palmdale achieving 100% Active New Contract Objective, NPS Reserve Accession, NAT, Prior Service Affiliation and TTCU for three consecutive months during the period of October 2011 through December 2011.

Your performance is indicative of your professionalism, effectiveness and total dedication in support of Navy recruiting. It takes professionals, such as yourself, working long, hard hours at considerable personal sacrifice to be able to excel in recruiting.
