(Susan Mahaffey: For performance of duties as Chief of Operations of the M.F.S. Impetuous)

Submitted by General Doane

(Manuel Guajardo: Manny has been an outstanding member, he did most of the Game Managing of our sim actions this past Labor day. He came up with many of the scenarios our crew played out over a period of about six weekends to resolve the actions of SEALS Team 4 and several SOC Epsilon teams.

Submitted by General Doane

Joann Nickerson: From her Captain's reasoning for nominating her for her zones Rebel of the year, "I feel this also deserves an NAM I nominate Commander Joann Nickerson of the MFS Intrepid II. Joann has been a valuable member of the Intrepid II giving 110 % in everything she does. Even though she became a double amputee this past summer caused by her life time struggle with cerebral palsy she maintained and fulfilled her duties as security officer. Because of her dedication and hard work when I choose to leave command on the Intrepid II and turn the cell over to Captain Donna Parker, Joann was my first and only recommendation for first officer."

Commendation Awards

The following Members have distinguished themselves Force-Wide.

• MFI Commendation Medal(s):
  • Recipient(s):
    • Christina Doane: As VIC, Christina has had to step up to the plate a couple of times on short notice this year; particularly in absence of the IC. Her swift response and remaining cool in staff crises reflect well upon her.
    • Rob Johnson: For continued work in his active capacity as MFI Chief of Staff; his dedication and drive for excellence inspires us all to do well.
    • Commodore Barbara Adams: For all time & effort put into running Membership & Awards over the last "8 Plus" Years.

• MFI Achievement Medal(s):
  • Recipient(s):
    • Steve Lackey: Even with great personal issues that have taken precedent, Steve has has managed to keep informed and provide us all with candid counsel in the past year. His efforts have not gone unnoticed by any means.
    • Gary Hollifield: His own personal problems, grave and serious as they were, couldn't stop him from still taking part in his position and duties in MFI. Your devotion to duty is admirable and continues to be a source of inspiration to us all.
    • Gene Yazdir: Even with the little time he has, he continues to step up to the plate for jobs he's conscripted for. The Coordinator Council and the IC in particular highly appreciate your viewpoints and counsel.
    • Gary Davis: Your work with MAQUIS-CON 2010; among other projects, has been MOST appreciated! Your dedication after so many years of active service is truly remarkable and we hope for more of the same.
    • Frank Parker: Membership, particularly recruiting; has seldom been busier with you at the helm and I believe the credit goes to you. Well done, sir.
    • GEN Christina Doane: CD does a ton of work for this organization, both behind the scenes and in the spotlight. She steps up to the plate willingly and without fail whenever the need arises for her to run the organization. She works on many, many projects such as the MFMC, an Honor Guard Project, and she keeps the peace between members of the CC on the HQ List with her Foam Fishy <G>. CD is the epitome of an excellent officer and comrade in arms. Her willingness and encouragement for the membership as a whole is endearing AND her motivation for all of the projects she chairs is unwavering and never falters. She is a true MFI patriot and her fandom light never glows brighter then when she is talking about our organization.

• Naval Commendation Medal:
  • Recipient(s):

• Marine Commendation Medal:
  • Recipient(s):
    • BGN Marcus Easterly: for the MCM for all of his work he has performed as Commandant in the MFMC. He has been instrumental in revamping and retooling the current staff, encouraging marine participation, and also working in Training and Doctrine Command in formulating new courses and improving existing ones. Marc is an apt worker, a solid manager, and an effective leader in the Corps. He sets an example with his work ethic and esprit de corps on all levels of professionalism in dealing with marines and naval counterparts.
    • FCOL David Breland: He has been the Morale Officer for the MFMC for a few years, but its his work for TRADOC that is outstanding. He is writing a new manual, with courses to follow, which will be an improvement and a wonderful addition to the current status quo. David is an awesome go-getter, a truly motivated young man who accepts tasks without questions. He does as asked, but he also takes his projects to the next level and always provides feedback, asks questions, and does his work at a level higher than what is expected of him.

• SOC Commendation Medal:
  • Recipient(s):

• KTF Commendation Medal:
  • Recipient(s):
    • COMM Glenna Juilfs: Her work in this branch goes largely unnoticed. She is a very hard worker in her capacity as Deputy Director of the branch. She is heavily involved with disseminating information to the members, recruiting new people into the branch, and being a very effective leader. She does much more than she is given credit for in the KTF. Glenna is very hands on and concentrates heavily on behind the scenes work, therefore her deeds are quite unknown to the majority of the rest of MFI.

• MRL Commendation Medal:

Bravery / Heroism

• Bronze Starburst:

• Silver Starburst:
  • Recipient(s):
