“ATTENTION TO PROMOTION”
Region Legal Service Office Mid-Atlantic would like to recognize LN1 Laura M. Delgado on her meritorious advancement to Legalman First Class Petty Officer.
LN1 was recognized through Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) today. MAP authorizes Commanding Officers to advance eligible personnel in paygrades E-5 and below to the next higher paygrade who have demonstrated superior performance that warrants increased responsibility. She has proven through her performance, with validation through multiple rigorous levels of competition including her command, Naval Legal Service Command, and at the Chief of Naval Operations level, that she is now ready to assume the roles and responsibilities of a First Class Petty Officer!
HOOYAH LN1 on your perseverance and dedication to the mission and your shipmates! Congratulations and job well-done!
"As we reflect on that day, we honor the service and sacrifice you and your families have made since 9/11, we salute the heroism of our first responders, and we remember the lives lost in Afghanistan and Iraq over the past two decades.
For me, people are the legacy of 9/11. People have devoted their lives to a cause greater than themselves. People have acted with conviction, courage, and a love of country. And people have dedicated their lives to ensuring an attack like that never happens again."
-- Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday
