Recommendation for Commissioning as Naval Officer

1. Please accept this letter as my strongest possible personal recommendation for Intelligence Specialist First Class Name to be accepted for commissioning as a Naval Officer. If you have only one selection, IS1 Name is your pick!

2. I have had the opportunity to observe IS1 Name in action here in *region*. An extraordinary Petty Officer, she demonstrates the maturity, leadership, and dedication we seek in our officer corps. You will not find a more impressive candidate. Promoted to First Class Petty Officer during her first month at *UNIT*, she has not looked back. Our "subject matter expert" on the countries of *country* and *country*, she is an articulate analyst and a polished briefer, providing numerous updates to the Commanding General and the entire *unit* leadership team. She is confident, poised, and professional.

3. Engaged and active across the staff, Petty Officer Name has devoted herself to self improvement, fearlessly taking on leadership positions usually filled by more senior non-commissioned officers. Performing brilliantly as the LPO of her CPO 365 ship, she also volunteered as a Command Fitness Leader and Command Foreign Disclosure Representative. Setting an outstanding example, everyone on the staff knows Petty Officer Name!

4. l could go on and on, but I am confident a review of her record will prove she has all the tools to excel as a Naval Officer. I look forward to welcoming Ensign Name into the officer wardroom and have no doubt she will serve the intelligence community, our navy, and our nation with pride and zeal.
