NCO and Marine of the Quarter Recognized
The Marine Corps Association & Foundation recognized the recipients of the Noncommissioned Officer & Marine of the 4th Quarter during an awards ceremony at Camp Pendleton Feb. 8.
Sgt Dalton Miller was recognized as the Noncommissioned Officer of the Quarter and LCpl Razul Ware was selected as Marine of the Quarter for Marine Corps Installations West, Camp Pendleton. Both are stationed at Marine Corps Air Station, Camp Pendleton.
Cpl Jaclyn Michelson was recognized as the Noncommissioned Officer of the Quarter and LCpl James Foster was selected as Marine of the Quarter for Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton. Both are stationed at the Camp Pendleton Security Battalion.
“By their respective selection, they demonstrated a degree of professionalism a cut above Marines of their rank and experience,” said MSgt Terrence Seymour. “This professional attitude not only surfaced in their military bearing, but also in every aspect of their lives to include academic performance. Each has worked long hours to include many off-duty hours to further their education levels and better themselves as Marines.”
Miller and Michelson were awarded a complimentary MCA&F membership, a certificate of achievement, a congratulatory letter and the “Gate of Fire” book from the Commandant of the Marine Corps Reading List.
Ware and Foster were awarded a complimentary MCA&F membership, a certificate of achievement, a congratulatory letter and the “Art of War” book from the Commandant of the Marine Corps Reading List.

MCA&F West Coast Area Representative SgtMaj Frank Pulley, USMC (Ret) congratulates Cpl Jaclyn Michelson, the Noncommissioned Officer of the Quarter of Camp Pendleton Security Battalion.

Jessica,
Thank you so much for taking the extra time and making the extra effort
to ship another hat to me for my husband last week. The second hat
arrived last Thursday... and he was tickled with it. Although it may be
"only a hat" it is a very special hat in many ways. He will always be a
proud Marine dad, and your kindness is very much appreciated.
Member saying thanks to our Customer Service Representative, Skylar Hand.
Thank you so much for your help!!! I think you should be commended for your excellent customer service! You were extremely helpful and I was about to get upset about my order but you handled it before I could say anything. You are the best. Thanks again!!!
Just a quick note of thanks to Patty Everett. I arrived home from a week vacation to find a package from the Marine Corps Association. I was expecting to find one of the magazines I requested, however, I was pleasantly surprised to discover both magazines were inside. In a time when it seems no one cares about customer satisfaction I am gratified to discover that customer service is not a lost art at the MCA. Once again I thank you for your efforts on my request. It may have been thing but the effort made a huge impression.
Christina,
Thank you for all your help over the phone today. Planning a Marine Corps Ball is a lot of time, energy and work.

I received my blouse last Friday and want to thank you for your efforts
in getting things done. Also, please thank the tailors involved in
making everything right and please give my sincere thanks to those who
made the decision to make the necessary corrections at no charge to me.
That in itself says a lot about your organization. The blouse fits
like a glove and actually looks and feels like new.
Thank you and all the staff who had a hand in correcting a problem and making an old man happy. Semper Fi
Sincerely,
I'm so pleased to see all the great merchandise you are stocking and the awesome promotions. Your store was dissappointing a few years ago and I shopped only at Sgt Grit.
Now, I can find what I am looking for with you guys.
Great job!
You have been the easiest person I have ever dealt with since I have started MWR out here. You were very quick to respond to my every question and very knowledgeable about your work for an order over a phone that was my greatest experience. If you were in the Marine Corps Skylar I would write you up for a meritorious promotion. I will surely write it in my books to pass the word to the next MWR rep to continue the membership with you guys.

Colonel Ford, I have to pass this on because I'm in shock that I was able to Connect (on the first Ring), Chat and concluded my business with "Sharon" in less than 30 seconds, at the MCA-Office. I was taken by surprise. Why, I'm Not used to anyone answering the phone especially on the first ring. AND...a human being...a lovely lady with a disarming voice, which at first I thought was a recording. WOW! I commend THE MCA for doing such an outstanding service for its members...make me proud. Just think...I was not asked "if I knew my parties Extension."?
Wish I had a Blog...I would spread around how delighted I am. What transpired to me today is Rare, just doesn't happen anymore. See, I'm so impressed I'm blitzing you here.

Ma’am,
Just wanted to let you know that I got the sword yesterday with time to spare. It showed up unscathed due to the excellent packing job despite the rough postal process. And most importantly it looks great and the Bahraini’s couldn’t be happier! Thanks again for all of your assistance.
