I would go anywhere and do anything for Captain Eaton! He is an outstanding person, Naval Officer, and leader. He has a huge heart and truly cares about his crew. I continue to relish the opportunities I had to work for him and I look forward to celebrating his career at his retirement.

Behold, another class of contractors matriculates. Now comes the serious money, men.

Now that you mention it, there are no females on this list...hmmm...

I wonder how different this list might look if we were as focused on retaining competence as we are on retaining diversity

Some women will be joining this list soon.

Concur that all of these men deserve our hearty congratulations. That written, heroes like CAPT Eaton only come around once in a generation. Craig holds a special place in this old retired warrant's heart.
