Chris was hand-selected to serve as the Squadron's Assistant Operations Officer - a position normally reserved for more senior officers - due to his stellar record as a Platoon Commander and reputation as a critical thinker, team player, and problem solver. He adapted quickly to the new role, assembling and managing planning teams in support of an exceptionally dynamic operational environment spanning multiple countries. Even working at a scope well above his pay grade, he surpassed all expectations; all of the plans that he implemented were overwhelmingly successful in supporting demanding communications requirements, including critical joint and partner-nation links. All the while, he facilitated relationships that continue to benefit the Squadron's complex mission present day. Chris balanced a relentless operational tempo with his responsibilities as the unit Defense Readiness Reporter, and in this capacity collected, analyzed, and briefed readiness data to our command team before formally submitting the data to Headquarters Marine Corps each month. His meticulous analysis and attention to detail always inspired confidence and empowered me to make informed decisions for the Squadron that benefitted communications support to countless Marines and units across 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. Due to his confident leadership, constant adaptability, and intrinsic ability to solve complex problems, I have no doubt Chris will excel in all of his future endeavors. His future employer will be beyond fortunate to have him as part of their team."
