“To the Marines of Food Service Company, what can I say,” said Hunt. “You’re a great company. It’s been an honor serving as your commanding officer. Just remember one thing; food service is what you do, Marines is what you are.”
Hunt was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for his hard work and dedication as the commander of the company for the past year. During his remarks, he recognized his senior leadership for their hard work.
“Thanks for being my advisers for the past year and carrying out my commander’s intent,” said Hunt, from Lansing, Mich. “Whatever I needed done, you all did it. I truly thank you.”

“Marines, I look forward to leading you for the next two years,” said Fore, from Jacksonville, Fla. “I’m going to give 100 percent in being your commander. I know you’re going to go out and do great things.”
