Commendation: Exelent work incharge of blue even if i was a little AWOL a lot of the time - by Admin
Commendation: Candid did an excellent job leading Blue team in this operation. In spite of the strange squad makeup of a photographer, a machine gunner and a machine gunner pretending to be an RO Candid maintained excellent squad cohesion and tactical awareness. She was instrumental in maintaining momentum and aggression in the face of the enemy, and this was shown in the decision to have blue team on point for the mission. Of specific note was Candid's decisive actions in leading her team to flank and assault an enemy stronghold defended my numerous hostiles and machine gun positions. Through the use of terrain, plunging fire, smoke grenades and extreme violence the position was neutralised and vital supplies were located. - by Admin

Commendation: Her leadership of yellow team made it easy to communicate and stay focused when leadership was out of commission. She also single-handedly dragged her team to safety in the village when they were all down. - by Admin
