Commended by Joshua Stephen Black, First Line Supervisor, Fort Drum NY, 2013-2016

Gabriel Torres was a very strong asset… I never needed to worry if couldn’t complete the task or mission at hand. He did an outstanding job…. Whether he was working on field exercises or Military Police work he did it to perfection. He is an excellent in being an absolute all around professional!

His communication skills—oral and verbal—are flawless and he know how to handle the most difficult of situations. I could always depend on Gabriel no matter the circumstance. Supervision was never needed as he was always striving to be better in any way he could …. Gabriel was a very vital asset to myself and other supervisors. When we were not available, he would take charge and get critical tasks completed by deadline. His dedication to his peers, supervisors, and country showed true every day.
