The commander also immediately began issuing uniforms, weapons and a hefty paycheck to each member of his team.
“He even began rewriting the stations Standard Operating Procedures,” Glasenapp added.
“The new lieutenant is definitely taking over smoothly and quickly,” said Cpl. Steven A. Dickson, an amphibious assault vehicle driver and security team member from Bakersfield, Calif. “You can see the IP’s are listening to him and following his orders. He’s really putting them in gear to work.”
