Lt. Col. David Bernatovich, the assistant chief of staff of G-8, shakes the hand of Brig. Gen. Charles M. Gurganus, the commanding general of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, after receiving a certificate of commendation on behalf of the comptroller’s directorate during a ceremony Nov. 12 recognizing the directorate’s exceptional work over the past year. According to the certificate of commendation the G-8 staff performed in a superb manner demonstrating unparallel success in providing budgeting and accounting support, funds management, and financial oversight which fully supported the complex MAGTFTC and MCAGCC mission. Bernatovich, a native of Nanticoke, Pa., attributed the directorate’s success to the estimated 35 civilian personnel who worked hard to appropriate funds for the Combat Center’s many financial needs and to make sure those funds were spent efficiently. ::r::::n::::r::::n::
