L Gg is a Requirements/Combat Developer. Colleagues describe him as "I have taught alongside Gary for four years and have been impressed with both his in-depth knowledge of Irregular Warfare and his talent as an instructor and curriculum designer. He has consistently improved our course material, always seeking ways to engage our students (Active Duty servicemembers generally) in complex and challenging subjects. His classes are routinely singled out by the students as the best, most informative training they have had on these topics in their careers. He is also an excellent mentor, sharing his wealth of experience in productive, positive ways both to the soldiers and other instructors on his team." and "When I was stumped by the byzantine force development/modnerization processes Gary was the intellectual muscle I used to ensure SF soldiers got there COTS/GOTS and one off items as quickly as we could. This ranged from the 77gr bullet for the 5.56mm to the haligan tool sets, Gary was my dog robbin' fixer. When we couldn't get money for ammunition testing he called Gus the wizard at NavSea Crane and got it done. When we were blocked by USASOC regards the new MFF canopy, he found the GySgt at the USMC para loft and we got the new canopy man rated. He is an extremely intelligent and caring man, he is my friend."
