                    A TRIBUTE TO CPO BRETT D. MYLES

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 18, 2007

  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, it is my honor today to announce that 
Brett D. Myles has been promoted to the rank of Chief Petty Officer of 
the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps. Family and friends of CPO 
Myles will gather on the battleship New Jersey on Saturday, January 21, 
to honor this outstanding young man.
  In order to achieve this high rank, CPO Myles had to complete many 
months of intensive training as well as a broad range of U.S. Navy 
courses. Throughout his service, Chief Petty Officer Myles displayed 
superior qualities of patriotism, leadership, and expertise. He should 
be very proud of his achievement: Less than \1/2\ of 1% of the almost 
10,000 Naval Sea Cadets in the program succeed in attaining this rank.
  Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to honor CPO Myles for his 
outstanding achievement. He is truly an inspiration to all U.S. Naval 
Sea Cadets and to all citizens of this great Nation. I want to again 
congratulate CPO Myles for this achievement and I wish him the best of 
luck in the future.
