  Ms. KUSTER. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Master Gunnery Sergeant

Enlisted Leader, in addition to his current assignment, he has serviced 
for the Defense Intelligence Agency, United States Cyber Command, the 
National Security Agency, and as the Intelligence Chief for Marine 
Corps Forces Special Operations Command.
  He has completed a total of 5 combat deployments to Somalia (1) and 
Iraq (4), and several deployments to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos as an 
assistant team leader for the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command.

Studies from American Military University, and his M.S. in
