From World War II to the battlefields of Afghanistan today, Marines and Sailors of 2nd MLG consistently epitomize the axiom of “warriors sustaining warriors.” Members of this storied unit bring honor to them- selves and the Corps by accomplishing their mission of sustaining warfighting effectiveness and providing logistics support to all forces in their battlespace. On behalf of all Marines, and along with a grateful nation I salute all who have served with 2nd MLG as you celebrate this historic anniversary. SEMPER FIDELIS, GEN. JAMES F.

Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis supported a series of inductive suppositions. Section 2 of the Capstone combines experiential pre and post-military stories and six qualitative interviews with military leaders to pinpoint five leadership tendencies drawn from the literature. Section 3 details qualitative interviews with senior culinary leaders. The research identified the following five high- performance tendencies: (1) Indoctrination, (2) Sustained Standards of Excellence, (3) Competency, (4) Care for Others, and (5) Adaptability. A short questionnaire helped newly appointed leaders self-assess their leadership approach to see if they implement any of the tendencies in their current environment.

Cool and wet weather, with a very high water level, kept about 30% of boats in their winter berthing. It caused sev- eral negative effects. The number of Auxiliary hours are down from the previous year. Poor boating conditions meant fewer VEs, fewer MDVs and fewer OP hours. High water also meant people turned to paddle craft as a means to getting out on to the high water resulting in mishaps and deaths. Our paddlec- raft safety initiative was tested from the start of the season. Thanks to the Committee for Paddlecraft Safety (Glen Robert L. Harman, DCAPT; CWO John Henderson, OTO, and Gene Little, IPFC) and the many Auxiliarists who volunteered to Scofield help get the word out to our paddlecraft enthusiasts, 9ER DCO 9ER completed the first year of its Paddlecraft Safety initiative. The goals for the initiative were to motivate paddlers to: them to share their knowledge of boating. Dock Walkers • Have and wear a proper life jacket. are generalists in that they pass on information and answer • Have proper equipment on board. questions on marine safety, paddle craft, PE, VE, America’s • Have an awareness about all aspects of safety including Waterway Watch and many more areas. It gives Auxiliarists a situational awareness.
