1. It is my personal pleasure to convey to the Enlisted to Warrant Officer board the qualities and skills that make SSgt Arnold one of the top Marines I have observed. His work effect and results on all tasks are second to none. 2. I have had an opportunity to work with SSgt Arnold while we were both stationed in Okinawa Japan. As a Company Commander I watched then Sgt Arnold routinely take on difficult tasks with ease while producing results that far exceed my expectations. He became the homerun hitter of the Company and was a “fire and forget” leader of Marines.

SSgt Arnold took aggressive steps to protect a fellow Marine and stopped and bad situation from becoming worst. SSgt Arnold has the well-rounded background necessary to thrive as a restricted officer.
