    It was my extreme pleasure to be assigned to the USS Enterprise Operations Office under your guidance and supervision. I also had the extreme honor of being transferred to the CINCPACFLT staff and again assigned under your supervision in the Fleet Air Operations office. I think of my time serving with you as some of the best memories of my 10 years in the Navy.
