Everyone you come in contact with is a better person because of it. No harder competitor, no better friend, no better person. Thank you for all of the good memories, kicks in the ass, and friendship. Many times going with the first few groups I would bust ass and get a pretty good times, and feel comfortable I may be at the top....but noooooo, Chief would have to be in the last group and outs me more times then not. Thanks for the push Chief. I hope all is well and best of luck to you in your future challenges. -Raz YNC,

Out of five previous commands I’ve served with, I can honestly say I’ve never felt more attached to any of them as I am with this one. I will forever cherish the opportunity I’ve had to be a part of the future Navy and Marine Corps officer community. That has been the most important part of this tour for me and has been the most gratifying feeling above all. Nothing in my career up to this point can really even compare. And to know that I’ve made such a profound impact on so many of you as an example and role model means more than anything to me. A large part of this accomplishment is directly linked to what we’ve been able to achieve here together with this club. As painful as CrossFit can be at times, there are SO many more positive things it brings to the table. At the end of the day, the blood, sweat, tears and agony (and of course the occasional vomit) we all experience is nothing compared to the spirit of community, camaraderie, competition and challenge that CrossFit provides. I’m so proud and humbled to be a part of that with you and hope that after I’m gone the torch will be passed on and the fire will continue here at OUR affiliate. Thank you all so much for the thoughtful words and for everything you’ve given me. It would be an honor to serve with any of you again in the future.

YNC, I wanted to thank you for all your hard work and determination. You truly set the bar for a standard of excellence far above most others. I have been inspired, motivated, and occasionally pissed off by the level of performance you demand not only of yourself but all others who work with you. (I won't lie that I hate having you as a counter for any exercise...) Thanks for being an excellent example. Never again will I let you watch me do ring dips or CTB pullups...ever. S/F, Jon Tellez,

I have learned a tremendous amount from you about professionalism and leadership. Thank you for always pushing me (I will never chase you on an 800m run again) and keeping me honest on my ROM (damn ring dips). Good luck with everything, hope to see you around in the future. YNC-

Just kidding. You touched on some good points. Chief, I wanted to thank you for the impact you have made in my life and career as well. You live your life to a higher standard and as a model for future sailors to hope to emmulate. (As you all can see, I have been getting better at my Naval writing, F my life) I have always said it, but it bears repeating. You have been the best Chief that I have ever worked with and for. You set the bar extremely high for those who follow in your footsteps. As far as a competitor, well you blew that one out of the water as well. You will be missed there at the Unit and by anyone who had the opportunity to work with you. Good luck to you in all your future endeavors and keep in touch. Thanks for everything.

When I started Crossfit, I just thought it'd be a fun way to get in some extra PT. I also liked the fact that I'd get to work out WITH the Chief and LT. I never imagined how much of an impact it would have on me. People have never expected much from me in terms of physical fitness. While I'm nowhere near achieving the level you and others have reached, I feel that BECAUSE of you, I am a hundred times closer. I've said it before, but there is something about having you count for me that makes me want to push myself even harder. When I miss a day, I guilt myself by thinking "Chief probably didn't miss a day". And when I work out in the same group as you, even though I know I won't be able to catch you, I feel compelled to try. Finally, (as shown in the pictures above) you may require some recovery time after a WOD, but I require someone to whine to. Thank you for always lending a sympathetic ear. Thanks again Chief. I hope somehow we meet again in the fleet. YNC,
