MSG McKinney’s strong character embodied the Army Values. Though he had over 20 years in the Army, possessed a body badly worn from years of tough assignments, and his wife was vocal in her insistence for him to retire, his loyalty and sense of duty would not allow him to retire.

Sgt Simmetcole’s interaction with junior Marines is not consistent, in that he only uses explicit phases to address specific Marines; some Marines within the section believe he shows favoritism. To whom he showed favoritism was not discussed. [Encl (7), (8), (9), (10)]

Douglas MacArthur was the recipient of the 1962 Sylvanus Thayer Award (Thayer Award). Douglas MacArthur was an American five-star general, a Medal of Honor recipient, the Field Marshall for the Philippine Army, and the Chief of Staff of the United States Army during the 1930s; these outstanding services were some of the rationales why General MacArthur received the Thayer Award. General MacArthur delivered his 2000+ word Sylvanus Thayer Award Address to the cadets and the commanding officers at West Point Military Academy on May 12, 1962; though his speech was given to the cadets and commanding officers at West Point, it is still a speech that instills morale into many of the troops today. Because of his magnificent military

I thrive on the opportunities to lead while providing mentorship and guidance to Sailors and Marines alike. My record of accomplishments as a professional, leader, manager and mentor exemplifies the traits required and will ensure my success if selected.

James R. McDonough sets a spectacular example of what it is to be a second lieutenant in the United States Army and what it is truly like to lead a group of enlisted soldiers for the first time. Lieutenant McDonough, a graduate of West Point, was deployed as a platoon leader in a small fort with the mission of holding a Vietnamese village out of the hands of the Viet Cong. When he arrived, Lieutenant McDonough discovered that the former Lieutenant and platoon leader of the 2d Platoon, Bravo Company, 4th Battalion, 503d Infantry (Airborne) hardly ever left his
