Chief Petty Officer Howard distinguished himself through superior professional performance and unfailing dedication to duty while assigned as the Reserve Officer Recruiter at Navy Recruiting District Seattle from October 20XX to September 20XX. During this period, he served with distinction and consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership while producing results that outperformed his peers.
Superior Performer. Chief Petty Officer Howard led Navy Reserve Officer recruiting in FY-XX with 150% of General Officer mission attainment, 100% Dental Officer mission attainment, and 100% of Nurse Corps mission attainment. Prior to NCC Howard arriving at NRD Seattle, the Reserve Medical Program was struggling and failing to meet goals. He focused on this category and turned it around. Networking with the local Naval Hospital and civilian medical clinics, he developed a Center of Influence which provided a steady stream of enthusiastic referrals. This effort paid big dividends to NRD Seattle's Reserve Medical Program which now exceeds its goals. In addition, he achieved 150% of Medical Corps mission, a CNRC high visibility critical program area, 300% of Nurse Corps mission, and 100% of Medical Service Corps mission.
Role Model. His leadership, knowledge, and dedication to the professional development of junior Sailors led to all NCs becoming Officer Recruiter qualified in Division 4. NCC Howard continues to display his infectious leadership by training and mentoring a new Reserve Medical Recruiter under his charge. This recruiter, because of the knowledge and training provided to him by NCC Howard, is prepared to achieve and exceed the mission goals for FY-XX in all Reserve Medical Programs.
In addition to his other duties, NCC Howard accepted collateral duties as the Command Individual Augmentee Coordinator. Under his charge, NRD Seattle consistently met 100% of administrative program requirements for deployed personnel.
As a respected leader among his peers, he served as the Mess Secretary of the CPOA and was appointed as a Selectee Sponsor for the FY-XX induction season, during which he mentored the selectees.
Community Ambassador. Volunteered time and effort to the local community by serving as a Committee Member of Boy Scout Troop 1540, providing valuable leadership and vision with respect to training and mentoring of the Boy Scouts and ensuring that they achieved their qualifications through scheduled qualification milestones.
Chief Petty Officer Howard has proven himself to be an indispensable member of the Navy Recruiting District Seattle team. He possesses great patience, compassion, and an unmatched ability to analyze requirements and get the job done. Chief Petty Officer Howard has my strongest recommendation and is most deserving of the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal.
