I am a recently retired naval officer (30 years active duty) with a comprehensive and varied background in leadership, planning, resource management, safety, problem identification/solving and decision making. In addition, I was stationed at Ships Intermediate Maintenance Activity (SIMA) San Diego for several years and have a solid background in industrial planning, cost control and estimating, contractor bidding and resource procurement. As a naval officer and because of my above mentioned experience, professional ethics and personal integrity are a must, both upon which I laid my foundation for a successful navy career. In regards to ethics, I was frequently called upon by my superiors to conduct Judge Advocate General (JAG) inquiries regarding misconduct, breach of ethics and congressional inquiries. I was well known and respected for my thoroughness, objectivity, integrity and impartial fairness in rendering findings and recommendations and often sought out for these duties. Of the numerous summary court marshalls that I conducted, none were overturned by higher legal authority upon automatic review for procedural correctness, findings of fact and awarded punishment. Fifteen of my 30 year navy career were served in the South Bay area beginning in 1965, whereas I have had the opportunity to watch the City of Chula Vista develop over the years. I have been most favorably impressed with the long term planning, coordinated development, city government and quality of life which was a major factor in my wife's and my decision to buy a home in Chula Vista in 1987. Now that I am a California resident, I want to be an active part of a community that I genuinely feel proud to be part of. I believe that my naval experience can be easily converted to valuable use in the service and the maintenance of our city as a beautiful and progressive community and working towards improvement where necessary. Sincerely, ~ Douglas E. Cochrane
