Command Evaluations
"SGT Bresto is the most competent Marine I've ever wanted to personally strangle. He has an almost supernatural ability to identify the correct tactical solution while simultaneously finding the most insubordinate way to implement it."
"Effective in combat. Nightmare in garrison. Recommend reassignment to units where his particular… talents… can be properly channeled."
"Bresto gets results. The CDF tolerates his behavior because dead Marines don't argue with sergeants."
Current Assignment
Transferred to Special Operations Command under Lieutenant Park. Previous commanding officer noted this assignment as “either inspired matching of personality to mission or bureaucratic revenge — possibly both.”
