It is with great pleasure that I recommend CDR Bob “BZ” Zinga, a transformational global military leader. I first met BZ when he was a Junior Officer in my reserve unit, NR COMPACFLT INTEL 0419. Then LCDR BZ quickly took charge of a 37-member unit and led by example, always taking care of his troop. Under his leadership, the unit became the most award-winning unit in the COMPACFLT Enterprise and excelled in the trifecta of operation support, training, and administration. I was not surprised when BZ was selected as the 2019 COMNAVIFORES Junior Officer of the Year, #1 of over 2,000 Junior Information Warfare Officers across America and the world. It was my joy to see him realize his lifetime dream of promoting to the Senior Officer rank of Commander this past April. A promotion that was timely and well deserved, Bravo Zulu! I highly recommend CDR BZ for any position he applies for. He is not only tech-savvy and business-minded, but he is also an uncommon leader who always focuses on accomplishing the mission and the welfare of his team members.
