Pavle Đurišić ACRG'day, Could you have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Assessment/Pavle_Đurišić? Looks to me like it now has four reviewers (including yourself) that support it for A Class, but because User:Grandiose started the review (but limited it to images), it seems like it's stuck waiting on someone to actually tick off on it? If not, please let me know what else is needed? Thanks, Peacemaker67 (talk) 01:38, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

AustralianRupert left me a couple of suggestions to improve the article to B class and you have completed one of them. He would like to see more on his personal life and particularly the circumstances of his death. No joy there, as the main source of material, the US Coast Guard Historian's Office official bio doesn't have squat on his personal life. I have looked elsewhere for a credible source for personal material, but have had no luck. As a service, the Coast Guard historically has not paid a lot of attention to the history of the service, because they never had much money budgeted for the activity. They get by with a staff of three. As a retired Coast Guardsman, this is somewhat disappointing, but I also understand that the Coast Guard is the red-headed stepchild of the US Armed Forces and is shorted by our Congress when funds are voted each year. Since I have exhausted my resources on O'Neill, this is as far as the article will go in my estimation. Surely it is better material than a stub though. Your thoughts?

CWO4 Guertin is 2008 recipient of Admiral Merlin O’Neill Award By Rick Thompson Pax River Public Affairs Chief Warrant Officer 4 Michael R. Guertin is the 2008 recipient of the Adm. Merlin O’Neill Officer of the Year Award. Sponsored by the Southern Maryland Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America, the award recognizes “the most outstanding junior officer at NAS Patuxent River,” said MOA Chapter President Joseph B. Bush. “This is a great occasion,” said Pax River Commanding Officer Capt. Andy Macyko during the presentation last Wednesday at the Fleet Readiness Center hangar (Bldg. 301) before the members of FRC Mid-Atlantic Pax River Site. “This award recognizes those young officers who take a special interest in their Sailors, in their community, and in the development of others in their charge.” The award was announced Oct. 17 and the ceremony held just five days later, because Guertin had volunteered for a year-long Individual Augmentation tour in Bahrain and was to leave at 3 a.m. last Friday on a flight out of Norfolk, Va. In addition to the O’Neill Award, Guertin received the NAS Patuxent River Award for Leadership Excellence from Macyko. Bush related the history behind the O’Neill Award, noting that O’Neill “was a highly-decorated officer who served in the Mediterranean and the Pacific during World War II. What distinguished him was the interest he took in junior officers. He was very involved in their development.” After receiving the honor, Guertin thanked “you troops out there for your outstanding support and outstanding efforts to accomplish what we did during the years I have been here.” In nominating Guertin for the award, Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic Commanding Officer Steven Bartlett said, “CWO4 Guertin is a dynamic naval officer who has a magnificent conceptualization of command requirements, tenaciously addresses problems as they arise, identifies the solutions and implements them,” and called Guertin “the finest officer I’ve served with in 28 years.” According to Bartlett, Guertin is “caring and committed to our Sailors, and aggressive in achieving the command mission and supporting the fleet. His outstanding dedication to excellence and professionalism combine to suit him perfectly as an aviation maintenance manager.” He continued, “CWO4 Guertin’s contributions have had a resounding impact on the command’s ability to maintain critical aircraft readiness throughout Naval Test Wing Atlantic. His emphasis on quality maintenance and customer support coupled with a determination to provide the tools necessary to win the Global War on Terrorism have led to the completion of over 38,484 maintenance actions during his tour.” Bartlett also noted Guertin’s community activities, among them support of fundraisers for the Calvert Marine Museum, church council president, Boy Scout troop committee chairman, Cub Scout den leader, and assistant coach of a school softball team. In addition, Guertin is Command IA Sponsor, providing “exceptional counsel and detailed information of support and availability of resources for 28 IA spouses while their loved ones were deployed to fight the Global War on Terrorism” and command representative for the Drug Education for Youth (DEFY) Program, said Bartlett. Four other officers were finalists for the award. They are: Lt. Cmdr. Juan Gutierrez, nominated by the H-60 Helicopter Program (PMA-299) Commanding Officer Capt. Dean Peters, who cited his “enthusiasm, proactive communication, leadership by example, trust in individuals and unsurpassed dedication to the fleet.” Throughout his time at PMA-299, Gutierrez has “displayed tremendous bandwidth and inexhuastible determination, as well as the maturity characteristic of more senior officers,” said Peters, who also noted the nominee’s “ability to forge cooperation between the various stakeholder organizations. This cooperation was a direct result of proactive communication at unprecedented levels and unwavering trust in the working-level individuals from industry and the test squadrons.” Gutierrez’ community activities have involved helping paint a local elementary school, volunteering with Habitat for Humanity and raising money in the Northeast Florida “Cycle to the Shore” Multiple Sclerosis 150 Road Bike Race. Maj. Brian Kelly nominated by Precision Strike Weapons (PMA-201) Program Manager Capt. Mathias Winter for the award, saying Kelly “is the person to whom I go to solve the most difficult problems.” According to Winter, Kelly’s “superior leadership and acquisition process in bringing interoperable, cost-effective and lethal direct attack capability to our war fighters today is unsurpassed.” Winter added, “He was able to make huge strides in progress in the Joint Weapons arena with an innate power of persuasion and ability to build teamwork and consensus unmatched by other junior military officers.” In the community, Kelly is a youth sports coach, active in baseball and basketball. Lt. Matthew Kiser “has been the driving force behind the complex efforts required to execute operational testing of the pre-planned product improvement for the MH-60R and MH-60S helicopters,” said VX-1 Commanding Officer Capt. John Slaughter in nominating him for the award. He added that Kiser guides “an extensive team of officers, enlisted and contractors as they coordinate a challenging schedule of testing at sites ranging from Patuxent River to Jacksonville to San Diego, as well as ships at sea.” Slaughter said, “Lt. Kiser’s direct involvement, impressive knowledge and diligent persistence have directly contributed to the success of VX-1’s mission and will have profound impacts on naval aviation for decades to come.” Kiser’s volunteer activities include being the squadron Combined Federal Campaign coordinator, Navy Marine Corp Relief Society Fund Drive coordinator and federal voting assistance officer, as well as a squadron volunteer tax assistant. Lt. Cmdr. Eric Schuchard, currently the Mission Systems Teat Team lead project officer at VX-20, was nominated by VX-20 Commanding Officer Cmdr. John Lemmon, who called him “a superb project officer with a unique ability to execute his many duties without compromising his standard of excellence.” Lemmon said, “Lt. Cmdr. Schuchard and his test teams have successfully completed numerous critical developmental programs to support the fleet and provided much-needed capability to forward-deployed squadrons.” In addition, “he and his team have produced hundreds of software problems reports and his efforts have guaranteed that fleet operators receive quality systems that are capable of performing the desired mission.” Schuchard has “served as a dedicated volunteer to his local church by devoting numerous off-duty hours to adult and youth programs,” wrote Lemmon. “His mentorship of children ages 4-6 instills in them the qualities of a model naval officer and quality human being.” The Admiral Merlin O’Neill Award was established in by the Military Officers Association of America Southern Maryland Chapter at the behest of the admiral’s widow, Mrs. Esther O’Neill. O’Neill, who was recognized for his interest in the development and recognition of junior officers, moved to Southern Maryland after his retirement and lived in the area until his death in 1981.
