The joint winners of the prestigious Vice Adm. James Bond Stockdale leadership award, given annually to the Navy’s top two COs, were selected from a competitive field of 10 finalists and represent both the Pacific and Atlantic fleets.
Cmdr. Chase Patrick, the Pacific Fleet winner, was chosen for his time in 2011 commanding the destroyer Chafee, based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Patrick holds master’s degrees from the Naval Postgraduate School and the Marine Corps University, Command and Staff College.

Jackson, according to his official bio. Sittlow holds a master’s degree from the Naval War College in Newport, R.I.
The award guidelines require eligible peers to nominate commanding officers, who are commanders and below, from unrestricted line commands. Nominees are screened by how well they embody the leadership ethos of Vice Adm. James Bond Stockdale, a Vietnam P.O.W. who earned a Medal of Honor for leading a resistance campaign against his North Vietnamese captors. "
