I’ve always strived to leave a position better than I found it.
Below is the impact of those efforts. Each one tells a story of creativity, collaboration, and its results.
Navy & Marine Corps Commendation Medal
Awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the Navy or Marine Corps (including foreign military personnel), distinguishes him/herself after 6 December 1941, by heroic or meritorious achievement or service. To merit this award, the acts or services must be accomplished or performed in a manner above that normally expected and sufficient to distinguish the individual from those performing similar services, as outlined in the following:
For Acts of Heroism
For Meritorious Achievement
For Meritorious Service
Navy & Marine Corps Achievement Medal
Awarded to members of the Navy and Marine Corps, including members of Reserve components on active or inactive duty, of the grade of lieutenant commander/major and junior thereto, for service performed on or after 1 May 1961. The award shall be given for meritorious service or achievement in a combat or noncombat situation based on sustained performance or specific achievement of a superlative nature. It shall be of such merit as to warrant more tangible recognition than is possible by a fitness report or evaluation sheet, but which does not warrant a Navy & Marine Corps Commendation Medal or higher. The Navy & Marine Corps Achievement Medal may also be awarded to members of the armed forces of a friendly foreign nation consistent with the eligibility requirements specified in chapter 6.
