Comments: I have to thank my family for being my reason to keep moving forward and never giving up. The Sailors that have got me this far. I appreciate you more than I can express in words.

Comments: I owe all of my achievements to all of the Sailors that helped get me to this point. The leaders that have guided me and the Sailors that have followed me have taught me the true meaning of camaraderie, cohesion, and respect. I’m learning everyday what it means to be a better leader as well as a better person. In particular, I would like to thank my Aunt NCC Latonya Perossier, she has been with me, guiding me, and fighting for me since the day I made my first oath to serve. CWO4 LeTisha Lee, whom I had the pleasure of serving with onboard BATAAN was one leader who fought for me and believed in me from the day I met her to the day I transferred and I owe a piece of this achievement to her. PSC(Ret) Antonia Willis, AEC JaDe Augustin, AZC Bobbie Lewis, and PS1 Kayla Boze, have all kept me afloat throughout my time in the Navy and I cannot thank you all enough for listening to me and keeping my head above water in the darkest times and in my most prominent times. All of who I have become as a leader, a woman, a mother, a friend, and a human being, I owe to these ladies because without their constant affirmations and constructive feedback, there is no way I would have made it this far.

If not for all of you and your support I would have surely taken the bow when the season started. Thank you for not giving up on me! I am forever grateful to have gone through this with all of you.

Comments: This section will not be long enough, however. I obviously must thank my family who has sacrificed as much or more than I have, thank you Alexis, Brentley, and Piper, deployment is almost over. CW02 Valarie Rodriguez, FCAC(retired) Mike Toole, without you two I would never have stayed in when it got to that difficult stretch although you both deserve so much more credit. FCC(retired) Mike Rowley, I still have and can’t wait to wear the anchors you left me. FCCS(retired) Justin Baudier, FCCM Chris Davis, GMC Mel Ragle and FCAC Eric Kemp, the four of you have carried me to the next phase in my career, I absolutely would not have made it without the knowledge and wisdom from you 4 over the past 3 years. Chris my record would still be in shambles without you. Justin I will always strive past aggressive mediocrity. Mel I will watch how I speak around junior Sailors. Eric, I have now run out of things to complain about. Thank you all, I can’t wait to call you brothers and sisters.

ISC Kelly Smith, you have always been a friend for me...no matter what I was going through while we were in Hawaii together. You helped me so much. ISCM (Ret.) Britt Scott, where do I begin? You have helped me so much, you mentored me in a time when I was in a weird place in my career. You pushed me to be the leader that I am today, and on top of that you still push me to this day. Last but certainly not least...my mentors onboard the Shoup. QMC Rufo and ETC Palacio...salamat for both of you.

Comments: I am truly humbled by my selection and I will never forget those that have consistently checked in in on me, gave me the plain talk and had my back throughout my career. My career has been filled with many obstacles and I truly believe I would not have made it this far without every Sailor who molded me and Sailors I had the honor of molding, and I absolutely didn’t make it this far alone. To my First Chief in Deck Department, Senior Marvin Guinto, he showed me what to expect in a Chief as an undesignated Seaman, demanding discipline and being all in with his Sailors and has been a true inspiration. To the Chief that guided me through a tumultuous time when I was in a major vehicle accident and had to relearn the use of my arm, my speech and use of my neck, making sure I took care of myself and I also continued to achieve career goals, such as third class and my associates degree, and has continued to check in on me for the past 15 years, HMC Tim Alonzo. AOC Rebecca White, AZC Sharnell Green, AOC Diana Carillo, AOCM Cynthia Obrien, AOCM Nikki WIliams have all showed me the grace and temperament that can be achieved at the Chief level. So many other Chiefs have given me guidance and multiple reality checks and from the bottom of my heart I appreciate every one of you.

Comments: Sorry this will be long, but I have had a lot of great mentors to make me the well rounded select I am today. I hope I didn't miss anyone that had a great impact on my life. But it takes a team/village to make the dream successful. I would like to thank God first and foremost. All glory to God. People wise I would like to thank my wife and kids, my parents, QMC Gary McCloud who gave me guidance as an E4 to change my mind state for the Navy, Capt Fink who pulled me to the side as an E4 out in the field with MSRON 10 and had a long talk with me on the potential in me he sees. Chief Chad Skinner, GMCS Varella, Eric, BMCS Barry Hagan, and BMCS Randy Ehlers which all gave me very good guidance. I would also like to thank Master Chief Joseph who actually gave me the most guidance for my career, how to be a firm but positive leader and show investment into your people for close to 400 sailors in the department. I am extremely thankful to him, we had a vast number of conversations about leadership skills. He would also put his foot in my @ss when I messed up. Thank you to DCCM Horace Johnson who mentored me and guided me. Shot out to BMC Emerson, Hanz (one of the smartest chiefs I have ever worked for, no disrespect to anyone else) he made me learn admin against my will (LOL) but I am extremely grateful for it today. I can't thank you enough for what you did for me. Shot out to EMC Josh Rosario from ATG Mayport. He was the first chief to ever sit down with me and actually go through every item in the package from the ladder, what they mean, how to order them, what to get, etc.. A very big shot out to my whole team in Bahrain at CNSS-5/CNSGC that gave me more mentorship and guidance. Biggest shot out to ENCM Giddens, Ryan who showed me by actions a new form of leadership and very smart and knew everything but would refer directly to the instructions or ask another brother/sister within the mess for those answers. Gave me a lot of direct mentoring and guidance and made sure I had what I needed to perform the job there but also made sure I was good mentally and my family was taken care of. He also sat down with me and gave me a more direct guidance on my package along with our CMC Master Chief Tucker, JT. Thank you as well. and to all the Master Chiefs within the command that viewed my package as well. Thank you. EMCS Wright, Ricky that gave me direct one on one mentorship for in work and out of work. Shot out to MMC Reid, Keron; DCC Jones, Nick; DCC Figueroa, Nick; ENCS Kiszenia, Shane, EMC Barrett, Hollywood lol; ENC Barnes, Willie, CWO3 Cascen, Dwayne, CWO4 Allen, ITCS Aarndel, Leandre aka Ricky. MAC Dickson, Candace as well.

Comments: Firstly I'd like to thank my parents, without them I would not be here. My father was a big driving factor in me joining the military let alone the Navy. He is a retired HMC, and has been the one I look to and hoped to surpass one day.
