The new Vice Chairman of the Board of the Founda-tion is RADM Mike Lyden, SC, USN (Ret.). Lyden sees his new role on the Board as integral to what he calls the “third stage” of his life. After capping his career as Chief of Supply Corps and then going on to found and lead the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, his focus is now on using his skills as a volunteer in areas he is passionate about. “I never had the time or opportunity to get really involved before,” he said. “I want to see what I can give back.” Lyden credits Board Chairman RADM (Ret.) Linda Bird with getting him involved with the Foundation again. The two “always had a close relationship...except when she was my detailer!” he recalled with a laugh. As Vice Chairman he has already begun

The life blood of any foundation is volunteers and contributors. The Navy Supply Corps Foundation is no different. We receive contributions from five sources: individuals, Combined Federal Campaign (CFC #10281), chapters, corporations, and estates. The Foundation is very grateful for the support we have received. We are very thankful for the 550 contributors listed starting on page 16; however, this list may not be
complete. When individuals contribute via CFC or through a local chapter fundraiser, the Foundation does not always receive that information. We are very appreciative of members who contribute in this man-ner. If you have made contributions in the past and they are not reflected on the list, please let me know so I can update the list.

Exactly one year ago I said it was “full speed ahead in 2017.” Fortunately your Foundation has a lot of stamina and strength, because all indications are we will continue at that pace in 2018. The committee chairs have embarked on executing their Strategic Plan goals for 2018. One very exciting action is the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement between the Foundation and the Battlship Iowa Museum for the partnership to develop supply related displays on board the ship museum. Such displays have proven to be an outstanding way to preserve our history and share our stories with the public. I am also very pleased to welcome a new member to our board, LCDR Adam Gunter. Adam has stepped forward to serve as the Volunteer Committee chair. On a less cheerful note, CDR Spencer Mosley tendered his resignation from the board due to health reasons. Spen-cer served on the board for seven years, most recently as the Communications Committee chair. We wish Spencer well and will miss his expertise, enthusiasm and dedication. If you or you know of someone who would like to give back to our community, becoming a volunteer or board member is an excellent opportunity. The Chief Staff Officer, CDR (Ret.) Jack Evans, is avail-able to provide more information at [email protected]. While moving full speed ahead, change will also be a major item on our 2018 agenda. Our Public Affairs Officer and The Oakleaf editor, Ms. Liz Van Wye, and Ms. Linda Hall, web management and graphics sup-port, have decided to retire at the end of 2018. Their support to the Foundation covers 14 years, so they will be sorely missed. At the same time this provides an excellent opportunity to review our entire communica-tion support strategy and execution. In the next few months we will develop a plan and provide further information about hiring and support options. 2018 also provides you the opportunity to sail on the Douro River, Portugal, on our third Oakleaf river cruise. With a few cabins remaining, please check the Foundation website (www.usnscf.com) and Facebook for details on the cruise, as well as other current events and Foundation and chapter highlights.

CDR (Ret.) Joe Jordan
In 2009, CDR Joe Jordan, SC, USN (Ret.), started thinking about how he could make philanthropy a bigger part of his life. A Certified Public Accountant, Jordan is now CFO for a graphic arts design company with offices in California, Arizona and Nevada. He had long been involved supporting organizations focused on education, particularly for area inner city elementary school children and foster kids terming out of the fos-ter care program, serving as board member, volunteer and contributor to several local programs. Commissioned through the NROTC program at Notre Dame in 1964, Jordan’s Supply Corps ser-vice included two active duty tours, and he retired from the reserves in 1986. He started receiving The Oak-leaf and found he was interested in what the Foundation was doing. “I saw the scholarship program as a good cause,” he said. He liked that a yearly donation of $2,500 could go completely to the scholarship re-cipient. “In our day education was relatively cheap,” he recalled. “Now it is so expensive.”
Making a difference for others motivates CDR (Ret.) Joe Jordan
He recognized that he was in a fortunate position to be able to make that level of contribution, noting, “not everyone can.” He concluded that rather than spend more on himself, he wanted to make a differ-ence for others. “I like to do research and I like to direct my giving,” he recalled recently over lunch in Old Town San Diego. When he learned about the Foun-dation’s Tench Francis Legacy Soci-ety, that focuses on estate planning to ensure the good work of the Founda-tion goes on, Jordan considered the request. “I know the organization, I know the people. I like that aspect a lot,” he said. He compared that to contributing to large organizations like the Red Cross or United Way, which seemed more impersonal and bureaucratic. “I also appreciate that the Foun-dation doesn’t bombard you with requests for more money. When they do reach out, it’s a thought-ful request and I can see where the money is going.” This summer Jordan signed up to be a member of the Tench Francis
Legacy Society. His motivation was simple; “I can help out.” For more information on the Tench Francis Legacy Fund, or to make a contribution to the Founda-tion, go to www.usnscf.com and click on Make a Donation or contact CDR (Ret.) Jack Evans, Chief Staff Officer, at [email protected].
Years ago I read a quote from Henry Ford – “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is suc-cess.” I think that is a perfect descrip-tion of the Foundation. We initially come together and forge our bond as Supply Corps officers and members
of the Foundation. Throughout the years we rekindle and strengthen those bonds and throughout our lifetime the Foundation provides us the means to support each other and our Corps. Enjoy our 223rd birthday cele-bration. Every Supply Corps officer
along the way has contributed to this milestone. We have a strong and proud tradition of being ready for sea, supporting the fleet and taking care of our own. I look forward to your ideas to make our Foundation even better in the future. You can reach me at [email protected].

Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt of CAPT (Ret.) George Morgan’s full article, posted on www.usnscf.com under “Programs/Heritage.” I arrived in Saigon in May 1965 and was assigned to the Headquarters of the River Assault Groups in Saigon, providing logistics/supply support to the River Assault Groups (RAGs) in the Mekong Delta. The River Assault Groups were the precursor to the Swift boats, with a line lieutenant and two Navy chiefs at each RAG as advisors. My job was a challenging assignment, complete with a Vietnamese lieutenant counterpart who attended Athens when I was there in 1962. After about three months on the job expediting shipment of supplies to the RAGs and visiting several RAG sites in the Mekong Delta, I got a call from LCDR Neil McNeil, the Navy Exchange Officer in Saigon. The Marine exchange officer in DaNang was going back to Okinawa in August and he asked if I would be willing to transfer to DaNang as his relief, since I had previous exchange experience. With a cheery aye-aye and some briefings I was on my way to DaNang. There were many challenges of running the Navy Exchange in DaNang. All merchandise was shipped through Saigon, often delaying needed products. In addition to running the large exchange located next to the air base, we supported all the private messes

his rank. I knew him as some-one who cared about his Supply Corps family. Lex was author of the “Chops Lunch;” a quarterly gathering in the DC area where he gifted us the opportunity to talk
about our past and present and tell our stories. If the Supply Corps has a “Valhalla”, no doubt we will see Lex sitting at the head of the table. In reaction to my comments on the Glenn Marine scandal, Harry Weinberg said as a young Navy Exchange Officer he chased down a salesman who wanted to celebrate his departure with cash. Joe Russell said he fought off many a “Fat Leon-

Many high school classes have a chronicler, a classmate that cares enough to send information on friends of our youth. Mine is CJ. He keeps us posted. What he drops into my email box is not unlike The Oakleaf. USPS drops off at the end of the driveway. Common bonds are held together by common caring. I had this thought when CJ wrote about Ralph. Ralph was a classmate, college cohort and fraternity brother. Like too many of CJ’s emails, he told of Ralph’s passing. Ralph had an exciting life. The more I read the obituary the more I wished that somewhere on our two journeys we had met again, paused and spoke. We would have talked about our past and told our stories. The Supply Corps journey has been beautifully paved by one of our comrades who also recently passed, Lex Fleming. I did not know Lex on active duty; not even
ard” as a contracting officer in Japan and Thailand. His Supply Corps son no doubt is an ethical apple that did not fall far from the tree. Duane Pitcher wrote how he saw his first SUPPO’s moral compass when he told the XO the ship would pay for crane operator coffee and not the gal-ley. His example was set by John Rol-off, one of the best with me at NSD Subic. Walter Tucker remembered a flag who had extra stewards and always owed money. That contrasts to a time when a CO might use only Philippine stewards who ate mostly rice so he made money. Mark Walker had no ethical problem trading an inexpensive spare tire for expensive non-skid paint from a carrier. Car-riers have more OpTar. It was all in the Navy. As contracting officer in Naples I received a chocolate Easter egg with jewelry inside. I ate the chocolate. There is the story of a

oversight of the Foundation’s strategic planning process. Lyden and his wife Joy are en-gaged in a host of volunteer ac-tivities in the Alexandria, VA area where they live, serving on their local library board, working on veterans’ issues, especially related to homelessness, and heading up the conservation committee of their chapter of the Appalachian Moun-tain Club. He also serves on the Board of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Alumni Association. Although he keeps profession-ally engaged on an occasional basis
as an international management consultant, Lyden has learned that working with volunteers is a par-ticularly rewarding experience. “People are there because they want to be. They believe in what they are doing. Leadership is more about encouraging and facilitating and not so much direction,” he said. “They are not getting paid, they are giving up their spare time, and they have a tremendous com-mitment. I keep that in mind all the time and I have a lot of respect for what volunteers do.” He sees the Foundation as a
unique place to bring the larger Sup-ply Corps community together. After being overseas for a few years, he has been impressed by what he’s learned about the direction of the Foundation. “There’s some incredible stuff being done by the committees,” he said. “The Scholarship Program is impor-tant but there is so much more,” he added, citing Heritage and Legacy programs, the Family Aid and Sup-port Team, chapter activities and the transition, recognition and volunteer programs. “Once you see the value the Foundation provides, you can’t help but want to be a part of it.”

Ship’s Store Officer who had a lovely night with a Greek fur saleslady and after frolic and ouzo woke up with a bad case of chagrin and a case of fur coats on the quarterdeck. Jim Martin wrote that he reads “Memories” first. He wants to know about the friends that enriched his Supply Corps experience. He also wrote about the DK that enriched his experience by keeping whiskey in the safe. Jim Kopp recalled how he convinced Gina Lollobrigida to attend the Supply Corps Birthday Ball in Subic in 1976, dance with Dick Dreese, and appear on the Newslet-ter cover. (Readers under 50 will discover Gina using Google). Steve House as CO a decade later received national notoriety for his “I Love Philippines Products,” a contracting initiative intended to build bridges, help their economy, and save money. From soda pop to bubble wrap to horses. Hardy Cook told a story how he ordered too much toilet paper. His Chief put 20 cases on the fantail and put out the word that too little had been requisitioned for deploy-ment. Bunkrooms quickly became storerooms. Hardy’s father was in the Supply Corps and had the first tender to stock-fund inventories. His 1959 letter to SERVPAC is a classic and will go to NSCS archives. Navy archives received Supply Corps ar-tifacts given me by Kurt Libby and Jim Knight. Tom Christensen had his cooks make his grandmothers chicken dumpling soup. He loved it. So did the fish when the ship’s Doc said the black pepper granules were dead weevils. Walter Tucker told about a fitness report that said, “He has some difficulty in getting along; he refuses to deviate from fixed no-tions.” He and his Captain differed,
but the final report said the skip-per would welcome him anywhere. Calvin Gogerty told of memorable fitness report lines when sitting on a selection board: “He has a win-ning and engaging smile” as an only comment. “He is Zoltan Kaparthy personified.” From “My Fair Lady”
the lyrics are, “That fraud from Bu-dapest, I never met a ruder pest…” As for movies, Chuck Gibfried as CO NSC Oakland met actor Roger Moore and resulting news had Code 00 meeting Code 007. Dave Caplan wrote about erasing the one from a priority 15 requisi-tion for a toilet seat so his Captain could feel comfortable. Dave now lives in Maryland near the childhood home of Tench Francis, from whom the Supply Corps traces our origin. Nearby is the historical plaque to his legacy dedicated by Bob Moore. Brady Cole wrote how as a Rickover “writing monitor” of then young Bob Moore, Bob chafed at the over-sight. Later Brady discovered Bob’s Rickover fitness report marks for writing were superior to his. Train-ing ceased. Don Sanders as DO of Kearsarge did an emergency payday on a destroyer by helo, lost his watch, and later received a new one from the ship as a gesture of gratitude....no doubt for his bouncing payday sea sickness suffered in line of duty. Connie Agresti wrote how he helped restore the ships 25mm chain gun by finding a part that matched in his LAMPS Pack-up-kit. In preparing for that unique deployment to Australia and MEF Ops, his memory book is
full of help from Pete Bondi, Kurt Libby, Chuck Vinson, and Kim Klein. George Morgan was our only “Navy Exchange Officer, DaNang” and he and two Chiefs were proud to have been relieved by two Lieuten-ant Colonels and two Lieutenants; just about the right ratio. I received several reflective thoughts from the serous side of the Supply Corps. After all, were we not handed the keys to the storehouse of public trust? Alec Levy was “troubled” that cumshaw could be a “slippery slope” to the illegal and unethical as he thought about those who gave in to impulses nourished by Fat Leonard. Sound thinking. Bob Schwaneke and Steve Olson presided over the 100th birthday celebration of Ensign Mark Todd, a fellow Missourian who went from Petty Officer to Pay-master to Supply Corps officer. The University of Missouri NROTC unit presented colors, Chief Jon Yuen sent a letter, and the Missouri governor issued a proclamation. Is Mark our oldest? “Back in the day” when NFC Cleveland was a Supply Corps com-mand, you could just ask the Skipper to check the file. Love privacy. Warm notes were received from Jim Lunn, Mel Murray, Walt Gordon, and Jay Fyfe who reflected with respect on the passing of Don Weatherson. LouGorenflo remembered eating Chicken Adobo in the galley. Calvin Gogerty reflected not only on Supply Corps officers but the many Line and other military services officers that enriched his experience. Don’t wait for an obituary be-fore you reach back and touch a shipmate. Stories need not end when we end. Share yours with [email protected]

McKayla Hunt, a freshman at Southeast Missouri State University, holds the Foundation’s Carol Ann Walker scholarship. The daughter of CDR Kevin and Stacey Hunt, McKayla has her eyes set on a career in nursing. Until she was five, McKayla says, her family “more or less moved around,” as her father was assigned to jobs in Illinois, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Since
then, she has lived in Bell City, MO, where she graduated from Bell City high school. McKayla made the decision to take her first two years at the lo-

cal Sikeston campus of Southeast Missouri State. “Living at home is cheaper,” she said, adding that she chose the school because it also has a great nursing program. She plans to move to the main campus in Cape Girardeau, where she can enter the nursing program, to complete her last two years. She comes by her interest in nurs-ing naturally, as her grandmother and aunt are both nurses. But her focus significantly sharpened when she was in seventh grade and need-ed an emergency appendectomy. “At first it was scary, then the nurses put me at ease. It got me thinking about nursing and it developed from there.” McKayla was initially concerned that living at home for the first two years might mean she would miss the college experience, but she has
found that worry groundless. “I’m having the full college experience,” she said, “just a little different.” The Foundation scholarship was a “big help,” McKayla said. “The scholarships really help people who otherwise couldn’t have gone to col-lege and that’s great,” she added.

throughout “I” Corps with beer and soda. These items, along with other merchandise, came through the port of DaNang. One week a very large shipment of beer and soda arrived during a monsoon storm. The cardboard containers for the beer and soda did not hold up well in the heavy down pour. As a re-sult, my large shipment, with their containers falling apart, were dumped at the port, blocking other vital war material from moving through the pier to their destination and we were ordered to dump the cans of beer and soda on a remote beach where they rot-ted over time and could not be retrieved. My mess customers had to live without beer and soda until the next shipment arrived. I returned home in May 1966, knowing that I had a rewarding and challenging experience in Vietnam and that I was the only Navy guy to ever hold the title of “Navy Exchange Officer, DaNang.”

Photo tips for The Oakleaf, social media and moreBy Linda Hall
Holding an event that you want to have highlighted in The Oakleaf, on the website or in social media? Pho-tos really help to tell the story and call attention to your event. Show-ing your chapter in the best possible way includes reflecting the values of today’s Navy in your photos. Here are some additional suggestions for providing the best photos.Choose your background carefully Avoid bright or busy back-grounds. Putting your subjects in front of windows with bright light coming in or with glaring lights behind them will make them dark blobs. If you are shooting outside, put the sun behind the photogra-pher. Put your subjects in a situation where they will be the “star.” Highlight the story If the keynote speaker or special guest is the story, take a small group photo with that person and few (no more than three or four) of your members. Pose them so all faces are visible. Avoid photos show-ing the backs of members. Another option is to take several photos of the speak-er making their presenta-tion if the background is
conducive. Pick the best one to sub-mit. Don’t try to take a photo with a screen showing the presentation graphics being displayed. Chapters often want to show pho-tos of large groups, including for CVT events. If you are outside and can capture everyone in one photo, it can be a good shot but remember faces will be small and recognizing people will be difficult. Think about ways to place the subjects at differ-ent levels to create interest and bring people closer together. Using your camera or phone Check out the options on your camera or phone that will help you get the best photos for the condi-tions surrounding you. When you download your photos, save them as they come out of the camera. Select “Actual size” when emailing them to the Foundation. Don’t resize or make
In keeping with cultivating our rich Supply Corps history, the Heri-tage Committee is beginning an initiative to compile and archive the memories and experiences of our oldest living Supply Corps of-ficers.

Browsing a beach book store this summer, I came across a military his-tory book…reading the book jacket there is a description about a “plum commission in the Navy Supply Corps,” so I had to buy it! “The Jer-sey Brothers” (published by Simon & Schuster, 2017) describes three siblings involved in WWII – one of them a Navy Supply Corps officer. The book tells the tale of Barton Cross and his older (half) brothers, Bill and Benny Mott, all in the Navy. Barton’s business degree, experience as an iron and steel procurement officer, and brother Bill’s support resulted in a commission and ac-ceptance into the Harvard Supply Corps training program. Barton was assigned to the USS Otus (AS-20) in the Philippines. On December 10, 1941, Barton is on the Cavite Navy Yard pier when a Japanese bombing run results in a

shrapnel injury to his leg and foot. He is treated and eventually trans-ferred to the Sternberg Hospital in Manila, and is captured in the hospital when the Japanese over-run the city in January 1942. His brother Benny is serving in the USS Enterprise (CV-6) as the Gunnery and Anti-Aircraft Offi-cer, with many details about its battles across the Pacific. Brother Bill is serving in the White House in President Roosevelt’s situation room. Both brothers are focused on getting to the Philippines to find and save Barton. The author, daughter of Bill Mott, says she thought that writ-ing this book would be a one or two year effort, but it actually required 10 years of research. The extensive epilogue and notes in the book provide added interesting details about this family’s search.
Barton’s fellow prisoners attested to his courage, strength, honor and persistent optimism – “one of the finest men I have ever known. He never complained. He was cheerful and courageous.” Barton was forced from prison camp to prison camp in the Philippines and discovered that he had the physical and emotional capacity to help others survive. A great read about the life of a Supply Corps hero and his family.

OP Roadshow helps spouses to better understand potential career pathsBy Mrs. Gracie Dziewiatkowski, Spouses Representative
Spouses Corner
Let’s face it. Promotion is not black and white. There are a multitude of paths one can take in a Navy Supply Corps career. No one career will look the same as another. Our active duty service members have a lot of doors to choose from when it comes to paving a career path, but inevitably, the decisions made today can affect orders years down the line! Although there is not a science to it, there are certain boxes you will need to check and certain choices that can bring you closer to your career and family goals. Making these decisions can be daunting and over-whelming, not only for the service member, but for spouses as well. No matter how families decide to make these choices, communication remains the key to the success of military families. The Navy Supply Corps now has a great opportunity to provide that communication, not only to service members, but to spouses as well, to help navigate these important decisions. In recent years, with encourage-ment from the Chief, the Director of Supply Corps Personnel at the Office of Personnel (OP) has developed an event to engage spouses and provide information about career progres-sion in the Supply Corps. Spouses have always been welcome to the
traditional OP Roadshow, which is generally attended by the service members. The inclusion of a spouse-specific event has evolved as an opportunity for spouses to ask questions more freely and in an honest forum. This opportunity provides a wealth of information and a chance to better understand your spouse’s career path. As spouses, we tend to have a lot of questions at home regarding orders, promotions, records, and why one set of orders doesn’t look as favorable as another. These are the concerns addressed by the OP Spouse Roadshow team, and this invaluable knowledge can help you to carve your family’s adventure in the Navy! Be sure to keep an eye out for the next stop in your area and bring a friend!
Participating in PAX River Spouses OP Roadshow were, from left, Marytzita Benavides, Tina Oke, Joannes Figueroa, Ceteria Williams, CDR (Sel) Dena Risley, CAPT Marty Fields, Brandy Radke, Patricia Kloepping (Pax River Chapter Spouse Rep), Jennifer Stein-wand, Amanda DeVorse, Casey Biddle, Gracie Dziewiatkowski, and LCDR Kirk Engler.

The OakleafSupply Corps support brings Honor Flights alive in Monterey Bay In 2013, retired Supply Corps CAPT Carl Stewart volunteered to go along with a family friend, a WWII veteran, on a Kern County, CA, Honor Flight. Honor Flights are sponsored by non-profit orga-nizations across the country, with a goal of taking military veterans to see their respective war memorials in Washington, D.C., at no cost to the veteran. That first trip motivated Stewart to start an Honor Flight hub in the San Francisco/Monterey Bay area. “It was the right thing to do,” he recalled, “...to help recognize the veterans ...for their service and sacrifice to our country.” The first step was recruiting a board of ten directors to incorporate as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization. In addition to Stewart, other retired Supply Corps officers who served as “plank owner” board members include RADM Doug Moore and
CAPTs AttilioSerafini and Randall Ramian. The first trip for Honor Flight Bay Area (HFBA) was Sep-tember 2014. Last October the group sponsored their 15th flight. The typical flight includes 25 veterans ranging in age from 80 to 101, according to Stewart. Five percent of the veterans are women and ninety percent are from the en-listed ranks. They are selected by age and ability to travel, Stewart said. In addition to flight leaders and medical staff, the flight in-cludes a guardian escort (often a family member) who accompanies each veteran and covers their own trip expenses. The three-day trip includes visits to the service memorials as well as those for WWII, the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, Arlington cem-etery and the Lincoln memorial. Departures and arrivals are coor-dinated with the USO and airport
volunteers to welcome the veterans like “rock stars,” Stewart said. Private donations are raised to fund the trips, with an average cost of $1,000 per veteran for the trip from the west coast. Many volun-teers are needed to help plan and execute each trip, most of which are scheduled in spring or fall, which are considered the safest weather months for these veterans to travel to the East Coast, accord-ing to Stewart. About a month after their trip, a reunion of the group is held, where stories are enjoyed along with lunch. Handwritten thank you letters sent to volunteers after the trip are especially rewarding. “I am not a hero,” they often say. “I was doing my job.” For more information about Honor Flights Bay Area go to hon-orflightbayarea.org.

Senior Chief Petty Officer LeDezman Johnson is currently serving as a Retail Operations instructor at the Navy Supply Corps School (NSCS, Newport, RI). While onboard USS Carney, he was selected as the 2012 Senior Sailor of the Year and awarded the Surface Forces Atlantic Leadership Award. Both his afloat units have been awarded the “Best in Class” and “Navy Exchange Service Command Ship’s Store Excellence Awards.” He is a qualified Enlisted Surface Warfare and Master Training Specialist. Q: Senior Chief, can you tell us a little about yourself and how long you’ve been at the Navy Supply Corps School (NSCS)?A: I’m from the little town called Lawtey, Florida. I joined the Navy on March 26, 2001. I’m getting close to 17 years of service with just over 10 years at sea. I’ve been at NSCS since February of 2015 and I really enjoyed my time here.Q: Why did you request to serve at NSCS? A: I needed to challenge myself. I hated speaking in front of large groups of people formally. I used to get teased about my dialect. What’s a better way to get over it than to do it? I also wanted to have some influence. I was given the opportunity to teach the officers that my Sailors would work for. Challenge accepted. Q: In almost three years at the schoolhouse, what do you feel was the best part about the position? What has been your greatest accomplishment here? A: Just giving back was the best part for me. A few people cared enough to take me in and teach me things that I should know. I can never pay them back, but I owe it to them to give others what they gave me. I like the idea of being the example as well. I’m a regular guy. If I can come here and successfully do something that I struggled with, I want them to understand they can too. If I was able to positively influence anyone personally or pro-fessionally in my time here, that’s an accomplishment. Q: Other Chief Petty Officers will see this article. What would you say is the best reason for coming to NSCS? A: I would say if you want to directly affect the way the leaders of the future make decisions, come here and contribute to their foundation. Q: You’ve earned some notable accolades during your tour at NSCS, such as Military Instructor of the Year and have
Decorated NSCS Chief stands out for leadership and knowledge Interviewed by LT Ryan Matlock, SC, USN, Food Service Instructor, Navy Supply Corps School
also been selected as the Basic Qualification Course (BQC) Instructor of the Battalion multiple times. What’s your secret?A: I don’t know if there’s a secret. I believe if you take a genuine interest in people they tend to pay more atten-tion to the things you say. Awards are cool, but if there weren’t any what would you have? I prefer an honest appreciation from an individual. If I was able to help, a hand shake and a thank you works for me. Q: What piece of advice do you have for new Supply Corps Officers heading out to their first operational assignment?A: Be humble enough to listen and confident enough to make the right decisions. Q: Any last words you’d like to share with people about your time here at NSCS?A: I had a ball. I was able to work alongside some highly educated men and women that made me sharper. I would recommend to anyone that has confident knowl-edge in the rating to come here and help shape the future of the Supply Corps.
