Underwood Sailor Receives Navy And Marine Corps Association Leadership Award
By Ensign Kim Hanson , USS Underwood Public Affairs (http://mayportmirror.com/stories/081910/may_mm1.shtml)
USS Underwood (FFG-36) recently recognized Chief Select Yoeman (SW/AW) Jeremy A. Campbell for earning the Navy and Marine Corps Association Leadership Award.
Campbell was nominated by his fellow 1st Class Petty Officers on board Underwood for this prestigious award.
Recipients of the Navy and Marine Corps Association Leadership Award were selected by their peers for exhibiting the highest levels of excellence in leadership. Chief Select Campbell was more than deserving of this distinction. He is the epitome of a team player, routinely stepping out of his comfort zone and challenging others to do the same. In addition to his job as Ship's Secretary, he is a member of the Damage Control, Force Protection, and Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) Training Teams. During Underwood's CY10 Counter Illicit Trafficking deployment Chief Select Campbell requested to be added to the watchbill to attain his Officer of the Deck qualification.
Always willing to learn, his shiphandling and navigation abilities made him a go-to source of information for other bridge watch standers.
His peers also recognized his high moral, ethical, and behavior standards. During Operation Unified Response in support of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief efforts in Port Au Prince, Haiti, he volunteered to go ashore and assist with the wounded. His assistance in distributing food and medical supplies and as a stretcher bearer was met with graciousness and gratitude by the Haitian people.
Campbell has served with honor and distinction and is admired by his peers and subordinates. His demand for excellence permeates throughout Underwood and results in a stronger, more efficient crew.
Most importantly, Campbell knows and cares for his subordinates. His keen ability to inspire and encourage others has led to the most successful and operationally diverse department on the waterfront, which boasts three VBSS team members, two DCTT members, and three STT members. Furthermore, by challenging his people and by his innate ability to understand what motivates his Sailors, his leadership directly resulted in his department achieving a Senior Sailor of the Quarter and two Blue Jackets of the Quarter for CY09.
Campbell will soon transfer from Underwood to work as Admin Officer at Fleet Industrial Supply Center, Naval Air Station Jacksonville, leaving behind shoes that will be extremely difficult to fill. He is most deserving of the prestige and honor afforded by the award and will be an ideal ambassador to the Navy and Marine Corps Association.

Member Oo-Rahs!
My Name is Sergeant Major Juan. M. Hidalgo, Sergeant Major of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) out of Camp Pendleton, CA. Sergeant Major (Ret.) Frank Pulley is one of my mentors and is someone that I have a tremendous amount of respect for. The MCA and SgtMaj Pulley do a phenomenal job in helping us recognize our Marines and Sailors and they continually demonstrate that they are always more than ready to support; anytime...Anyplace! And on behalf of the entire 13th MEU, I thank you very much!

Ma’am,
I received the shipment of plaques, books and certificates today for
mail call. It was more exciting to me than candy or magazines! Thank
you very much.
Semper Fi,
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!
Louise,
I just wanted to say thanks so much for making sure the uniform got back
to me in time for my commissioning class's photo. It fits me well and I am so excited for commissioning which takes
place in 17 hours! Thank you again!
Very Respectfully,
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.

I want to relay my many thanks to everyone at Marine Corps Association and Military Historical Tours for providing me the opportunity to experience such a wonderful trip to Russia. Had I not won this trip through MCA I may have never taken advantage of such fantastic travels. The group, the Russian Tour guide (Oleg Alexandrov) and Charlie Dunn were wonderful companions during the trip. It will be a memory I will cherish all of my remaing days on this earth.
Again, Many thanks and Semper Fidelis!
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.

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
