PROFESSIONAL COMMENDATIONS
Mark Godsey is a very talented leader that I trust with some of our most importa
nt missions and projects. We specifically sought him out and asked him to come o
n active duty to lead a Beach Party Team. A dynamic leader, Mark is one of the f
ew people that I trust to lead one of our teams in an environment that is fast-p
aced and inherently dangerous. He is thoroughly knowledgeable, well grounded and
quick thinking. He acts independently when deployed, but always within guidelin
es and he provides insightful updates on his operations. A meticulous manager, h
e took on the additional duties as our training officer and the manager for all
of our equipment. Mark pursued each with a determination and drive that increase
d all of our Teams levels of readiness. His foresight and innovative approach to
improvements have set conditions to keep the unit up to date for the next twent
y years. I give my strongest possible recommendation to Mark Godsey! If you have
