2021: Gavin MacLeod, Allan George See, attore e predicatore statunitense, noto soprattutto per aver preso parte alla serie TV Love Boat, in cui recitò dal 1977 al 1987, nel ruolo del comandante Merrill Stubing. Nel 1956 debuttò a Broadway nel dramma Un cappello pieno di pioggia e fu in questo periodo che scelse il suo nome d’arte. La popolarità di questo ruolo leggero costituì però un limite per…

Description: “NCIS History-Special Agent Vietnam is a comprehensive account of naval counterintelligence and criminal investigations in Vietnam. Doug Hubbard's first-hand experience provides unique insights into this little explored topic of the war, and the addition of a broad spectrum of his photos complements the narrative with a real life appeal. In an era when the term "terrorism" was not yet in vogue, NIS' investigations of insurgent attacks against US troops is a grim reminder of current threats our military faces in Afghanistan and around the globe on a daily basis.” Michael Sulick, Former Director, CIA National Clandestine Service “Although the Viet Nam War gives up its secrets grudgingly, former special agent Douglass Hubbard unveils an intriguing account of U.S. Naval Intelligence operations in the Republic of Vietnam. Drawing on his three years’ service in Vietnam and his subsequent research and interviews, Hubbard weaves a masterful story with 'NCIS History Special Agent Vietnam' that is equally inspiring and frustrating-just as the war itself proved to be.” Colonel Joseph H. Alexander, USMC. (Ret.) author of the Battle History of the U.S. Marines “Doug Hubbard Jr. explores the seamy underside of the Vietnam War from his ‘catbird seat’ as a special agent of the Naval Investigative Service. At the most there were never more than twenty-one of these Naval Intelligence officers serving in-country, and they had to deal with an overload of such unsavory matters as counter espionage, sabotage, black marketing, currency manipulation, simple theft, drug trafficking, subversion, rape, and murder. Sometimes these investigations came to a brilliant resolution that Sherlock Holmes would have applauded. More often they foundered because of command apathy or indifference.” Brigadier General Edwin H. Simmons, USMC, Chief of Staff of the First Marine Division in 1970, former head of the Marine Corps History Branch, and author of Frozen Chosin: US Marines at the Changjin Reservoir “Doug Hubbard’s exposition with NCIS History Special Agent Vietnam defines a period of counterintelligence development in the Vietnam conflict and records its events for the first time. Compiled personal recollections of wartime special agents make this historical narrative a defining work in the legacy left by the group of Naval Intelligence professionals who devised rules for counterintelligence and force protection in the challenging and dangerous arena of Vietnam in the 1960s. Theirs was a monumental contribution to the U.S. government’s efforts to achieve stability in the Republic of Vietnam, particularly in the early days of the mission when much was accomplished by a select few.” Maynard C. Anderson, former Assistant Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Security Policy

Review - It was a decent book with a lot of historical information on the Vietnam War and NIS's members. The main problem with the book was how light it was on actual cases vs pages and pages of commentary of who was assigned when and where. Another major issue were the multiple misspellings (Viet Congo is a common one) and repeated paragraphs. It's not unreadable, but it had issues. But for the historical information, and a few insights into deserters, fraggings, and a few interesting cases, it's worth a read.

End-of-Year Reading List, 2023:

Below is a full list of the 64 books I read this year.

I was indiscriminate in what I counted towards this total. The only requirement was that it was a published book (self or traditional), and I finished it. There are 100 page novellas and 1000 page titans. Several were consumed as audiobooks. Some are fact and some are fiction. Each developed my own style and ability, and that is their relevance to this blog.

This list is alphabetical by author surname, and where an author has multiple books on the list, by release date.

An asterisk (*) indicates I re-read the book in 2023, but read it for the first time one or more years ago.

"YOUTH'S LONG RECORD LED ON TO THE PEN," Toronto Star. May 17, 1918. Page 18. --- Albert Griggs, 17, Sent to Dominion Prison for Theft of Letter From Mails. --- SMALLEST PENALTY ---- Young Fellow Fined for Playing "Peeping Tom" at Beverley St. Boarding School. --- Albert Griggs only 17, yet, diminutive, undisciplined, a victim of the temptations of the streets. His offences were - and the Crown numbered them against him with almost monotonous indifference - that, in company with Harry Cresswell, he had stolen a motor car from J. Cochrane and another from W. J Robinson; that he had, singly, broken into a shop at 103 Church street, and stolen therefrom some candies, etc. and that, most serious of all, he had stolen a registered letter, the property of the Postmaster General of Canada.

"He managed to get away with $200 in a remarkably short space of time," said Crown Attorney Corley. The boy himself maintained that $20 of the money were now in the hands of the Chief of Police at Port Hope. To all the other charges he pleaded guilty, and on the motor theft he completely exonerated his companion.

Harry Cresswell was discharged. Albert Griggs, shedding ineffectual tears at the fate before him, and looking vainly to his father for help. was sentenced to three years at Kingston penitentiary, the minimum allowed by law, for theft from the Post Office: to six months on the Jail Farm for stealing the autos: and to three months at the same place for the other offence.

Lucky William. W. Treble was merely taking his liquor home - some in a bottle, some inside of him. For the latter feature of the arrangement he was assessed $10 and costs, very, very well pleased, indeed, to escape a more serious penalty.

On a charge of stealing from the Canadian Express Co., Squire Milner, oldest of the "gang" who were up yesterday for the same offence, was remanded to-day because they found only one cap in his premises.

Absentees Came Back. To see his dying mother in Kansas City, R. R. Fitzpatrick absented himself two months from the 1st Depot Battalion. Then he returned and surrendered himself. An officer from Exhibition Camp confirmed the fact of the domestic circumstances.

"If his statements are true, I don't want to commit him." sald Magistrate Kingsford. Therefore he remanded the accused to go back with the military men.

Four other absentees, Edward Leclair, Geo. Paradee, W. E. Allen and P. F. Fitzpatrick, were remanded to go with the first draft.

A Sufficient Excuse. When Charles Brohman got married, he quit work. Court was not sympathetic that after several remands, it finally withdrew the charge of having no useful employment."

Bowed to "Superior Wisdom." It wasn't much that Austin Ross asked - just a remand for his client. Wm. C. Desks, who was accused of having no useful employment.

"Mr. Kingsford wants to handle all those cases himself; he thinks they require a man of superior brain," replied Squire Ellis.

"I only want a remand until Monday," persisted Mr. Ross. "I can't touch it," replied His Worship. emphatically. "I might do something wrong."

A Guilty Young Pickwick. Mr. Pickwick in his night gown never created more commotion in a ladies boarding school, than caused by those other mysterious visitants who climbed trees and fences and peeked through windows. after dark, at the Church of land boarding house on Beverley street. At the request of the nervous In- mates. Constable Scott mounted guard last night - and caught Edwin Booth right in the act. "Disorderly conduct," the crown called it. It wasn't Edwin's first trick of the kind, but he escaped with 12 and costs and a solemn warning.

Not Emphatically Drunk. "Drunk, but not with emphasis." Thus Herbert C. McGuire described his condition Squire lent him with fraternal mildness, and did not emphasis "costs" in connection with the $10 fine.

[AL: Griggs was an automobile mechanic apprentice. He was convict #G-692 at Kingston Penitentiary, and ended up working on the warden's gardens. There he escaped in 1920 with another inmate! Treble was an ex-convict - he had done three years starting in 1914.]

Harry "The Breaker" Harbord Morant (born Edwin Henry Murrant, 9 December 1864 – 27 February 1902), more popularly known as Breaker Morant, was an Anglo-Australian drover, horseman, bush poet, military officer, and war criminal who was convicted and executed for murdering six prisoners-of-war (POWs) and three captured civilians in two separate incidents during the Second Anglo-Boer War.

I just watched the movie Breaker Morant  a 1980 Australian war drama film directed by Bruce Beresford, who co-wrote the screenplay based on Kenneth G. Ross's 1978 play of the same name, about Morant's trial. Very good film about war and morality. Found the movie free on You Tube.

Regal Pest Control Co. is a family-owned and operated business that has been in the industry since 1988. The company was established and managed by the former President of Pest Exterminators Association of the Philippines (PEAP) from 1995-1996, Atty. Silverio R. Garing on April 4, 1988, with a total number of 22 employees. Since then, the company was categorized as a Certified Pesticide Applicator/Exterminator. It is a Filipino company, adequately incorporated as a partnership and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, existing under and under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. With over thirty (30) years of experience in the pest control industry, Regal Pest Control is a company that guarantees all the customers their well-developed strategies in ensuring that the customers will receive the best pest control experience.

Over the years, the company developed pest control services that will help eradicate wide-range pest issues in our homes and our office. It is not surprising that our homes are often infected by pests, especially that we are living in a tropical rainforest country. According to Vail et al. (2020), lighting, warm air, rain, and food all attract pests. They seek refuge and safety in dim cavities in floors or enclosed spaces. Many different insects are considered pests in our household, but the most common is called “bugs.” Some of these pests, such as termites, necessitate the use of specialized equipment and expertise to add vast quantities of insecticides to any possible entry points into our household or building.

Regal Pest Control, with the help of its partners like multinational firm’s suppliers and distributors of environment-friendly chemicals for Pest and Termite Control Services, the company developed new technology such as Baiting systems, Fogging Method, Misting Method, Rat Disposal Service, Garden Pest Control, Rat Abatement Maintenance Programme and General Pest Abatement Maintenance Programme for Non-Structural Pest. For Structural Pest, Regal Pest Control provides Termite Proofing Works, Soil Poisoning, Cement Drilling Method, Wood Drenching, Termite Mound Demolition, and Termite Abatement Maintenance Programme, etc. The Regal Pest Control team has gained not only experience but also the prestige of supplying consumers with the widest variety of facilities and products.

d. PRODUCT LINE AND SERVICES

Pests navigate their way into our households regardless of how meticulous we are about our household chores. Some of these pests cause severe damage to foods, clothes, rugs, and wooden furniture, while others transmit diseases. According to Cranshaw (2011), arthropods that inadvertently invade buildings are among the most common residential/structural pest scenarios, referred to as "nuisance invaders." Pests, such as cockroaches, flies, rats, and other insects, can be a real danger in our homes and company. Pest management in the home is essential all year. Any insect infestations, such as termites, will almost often necessitate the assistance of a reputable pest control operator (Hantsbarger, 1981). That is the reason why hiring a pest control operator is the easiest way to eradicate and minimize the negative effect of these pests. Below you can see the different products and services that Regal Pest Control treatment company provides.

Termitrol is a special kind of termiticide that is non-repellent and has a delayed mode of lethal action which means when termites have contact with the poison, they will not immediately die. Consequently, it enables the poison to be passed on to other termites resulting in the extermination of the whole colony.

e. INTERNAL FACTOR EVALUATION MATRIX

According to David and David (2017), this strategy-formulation method outlines and analyses the key strengths and weaknesses in a company's functional areas and provides a foundation for defining and assessing relationships between those areas. The table below shows the strengths and weaknesses of the company Regal Pest Control and how it affects the company's internal structure.

Legend

Rating:

4 - Major Strength 3 - Minor Strength 2 - Minor Weakness 1 - Major Weakness

Internal Factor Evaluation Analysis

In relation to the purpose of the IFE Matrix, the table shows that Regal Pest Control has the two most essential factors in line with their business: Contract completion on time and Financial Stability. It only shows that the Regal Pest Control has an excellent internal structure. On the other hand, the company is also experiencing some weaknesses like lack of company website and lack of modern advertisement mode. It is essential to update and have enough information on their website to allow their customers to know what they can offer and what is new about their services. If this is not handled well, this may be a problem for the company because they may be out of date and will not keep pace with their competitors.

Overall, the Regal Pest Control receives a score of 2.68. Based on IFE Matrix, Regal Pest Control weighted above average, meaning the company has a good standing and a solid internal position. Nevertheless, this also shows that there is still much room for improvement to enhance and fully operate without shortcomings.

III. EXTERNAL ASSESSMENT

Market Position

Since Regal Pest Control is a company that is still finding its way to the competitive market of the pest control business, the basis for the market position that will be used is according to the estimated net income of Regal Pest Control and its competitors.

Company Net Income

Regal Pest Control ₱ 400,168

ENTECH Philippines ₱ 680,560

TermaxPro Pest Control Services ₱ 756,845

Competitors:

ENTECH Philippines

ENTECH Philippines is a Total Care System provider that provides clients with practical and long-term strategies to achieve and preserve clean, sanitary, and healthy environments. Integrated Pest Management (General Pest Management, Termite Management, Other Pests), Professional Cleaning (Disinfecting, Deep Cleaning, Furniture Cleaning), and Environmental Solutions are among the high-quality facilities (Entech Philippines, 2021).

TermaxPro Pest Control Services

TermaxPro Pest Control Services has focused on being a customer-friendly business that provides safe and dependable care. The company is there to provide service and satisfy the strict demands of new commercial enterprises and homeowners. Many of their pest controllers have received extensive training through certified PEAP (Pest Exterminators Association of the Philippines) workshops (TermaxPro Pest Control, 2021).

a. PORTER’S MODEL

According to Bruijil (2018), Porter's Model is built on the principle that a corporate approach can counter opportunities and threats in the organization's external environment. A strategic approach should be based on a thorough understanding of market structures and how they adjust. It is a method for analysing the level of competition in a market and developing competitive strategies.

Porter’s Framework Analysis

Regal Pest Control is already thirty (30) years in service and continues to maintain the pest-free status to where they provide their service and is now competing with ENTECH Philippines and TermaxPro Pest Control Services, which has only a few years in service, but a lot of people knows their company name and patronizing their service.

The business Regal Pest Control is bound to have the threat of new entrants, which are the Dexterminator Pest Control Services, Mapecon, and Pest-Ex Pest Control Services Metro Manila that would challenge their business. Since technology has been changing from time to time, there is a need to scale up within the company to keep abreast with the time, and it is not hard for other companies to come up with the same line of business.

The one who supplies the pest control companies or services is the chemical distributors in the Philippines, which provides chemicals to each pest control company to be used for cleaning and washing out the pests that dwell in areas and facilities.

The substitute products for Regal Pest Control or any pest control services that use chemicals as an active ingredient to kill pests are agricultural netting and cultural control, which is risk-free and has no adverse consequences.

The target market of Regal Pest Control is the sub-urban and urban people in which maintaining clean and safe facilities and areas are their priority, especially that there are a lot of buildings, offices, and restaurants present in the area.

b. EXTERNAL FACTOR EVALUATION MATRIX

An External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix enables strategists to compile and analyse financial, societal, cultural, demographic, environmental, political, governmental, legal, and competitive details that will help the company know if their strategies successfully capitalize on emerging opportunities while minimizing the possible negative impacts of external threats (David & David, 2017).

Legend

Rating:

4 - Major Strength 3 - Minor Strength 2 - Minor Weakness 1 - Major Weakness

External Factor Evaluation Analysis

In accordance with the purpose of the EFE, Regal Pest Control showed the opportunities and threats present in the company. Based on the table above, Regal Pest Control earned a cumulative weighted score of 2.65 on the EFE Matrix. The EFE Matrix is focused on an overview of the general climate and these external conditions that impact the sector to determine new opportunities and threats for Regal Pest Control. According to the weighted ratings, the company's response has a significant impact on its existing opportunities and threats in the pest control sector.

There is a series of opportunities like increased demand for Pest Control Services, new agreements that will deal them better pricing of services, and decreased taxes in the external factor matrix. In the threats section, we will see the new competitors who would either be in the same line of business, predicted natural disasters that may lessen the demand for their services, and new laws in this ever-changing time that will require them to have a change in framework.

c. COMPETITIVE PROFILE MATRIX

According to Bhattacharjee and Dey (2015), the Competitive Profile Matrix (CPM) is an analytical method that offers competitive edge information focused on key performance factors and acts as the foundation for an organization's strategy. It also enables the firm's owners to compare their firm to main competitors by using crucial performance factors.

Legend

Rating:

4 - Major Strength 3 - Minor Strength 2 - Minor Weakness 1 - Major Weakness

Competitive Profile Matrix Analysis

In relation to the primary purpose of CPM, which is to know the company's competitive advantage, Regal Pest Control compared to the two (2) present competitors where you can see and evaluate from the table above. Regal Pest Control received a weighted score of 2.96 based on the CPM matrix, while Entech Philippines received a weighted score of 3.67 and TermaxPro Pest Control Services received a weighted score of 3.69. About the fact that TermaxPro Pest Control Services has the highest weighted average, some of its variables have varying ratings and weights.

To keep up in the future, Regal Pest Control should improve their competitive edge and make additional changes for variables that have poor ratings, allocating additional advertisements and investments, especially in advertising, reliable work, and customer loyalty.

d. KEY EXTERNAL FACTOR

Key External Factors

Political

Political factor is the extent wherein the government can intervene or influence the economy, thereby influencing the industry. This is evident during the global pandemic where they had the call which businesses would be open or not. There will be scenarios where the pest industry will be affected, especially with the rules and regulations imposed by the current and future administration. There will be possible problems in the political arrangements in place to deal with growing tensions throughout the transition of power in a post-election period, resulting in an election-related violence that may affect the industry (Alihodžić & Burcher, 2013).

Economic

This is how economic conditions may affect the supply and demand of the industry, therefore, affecting the company. These may also depend on the services which are deemed necessary nowadays. In line with the economy, the activities that are performed are somehow the ones that are in demand. Now that we are in the middle of the pandemic, the economy of the Philippines is deteriorating. In fact, in 2020, the Philippines experienced its highest unemployment and the most significant drop in GDP in history (Lim, 2020). All of the businesses, including the pest industry, were severely affected because of the economic drop in the Philippines. This shows how the economy can affect the business, especially if the world is dealing with a pandemic.

Social

With the social factor, this is how the customer expectations and desires are reflected in changes in the socio-cultural business environment. According to Masovic (2018), culture and society are not actively involved in business activities; they do play an important role in influencing how well the company is handled, on which products are manufactured, and how and by what methods these will be marketed to the development of administrative and organizational practices. A company examines the socio-economic context of a given industry's market in order to fully understand how the consumer needs and wants are formed and what drives them to the store to make a purchase. This just shows how society has a significant impact on the company's products, especially that Regal Pest is a company that produces products. Adults often purchase the pest control industry's products, the reason why Regal Pest Control should examine and come up with strategies that could reach all ages, not just adults.

Technological

Technology has the potential to carry out the company's advantages and opportunities. It strengthened the market and industry by developing new products and services, establishing new markets, and increasing company efficiency. Most businesses or companies have a working technology to reach out to the consumers, deliver goods, and provide high-quality services. Consumers can shop for goods and services without leaving their homes. It is much easier to provide online reservations for pest industry products and services with the aid of technology, particularly now that we are in the midst of a pandemic.

Environmental

Environmental aspects are elements of an organization's activities, products, or services that can interact with the environment (Ganguly, n.d). Environmental factors include climate change, availability of non-renewable goods, and eco-friendliness of the products that affect the company's operations or customer demand. It may also affect the consumers' health. For the Regal Pest Control, these may include the chemicals used to perform the job and affect the said company. Many chemical products are hazardous for the company and consumers. There should be strategies to minimize the effects and broaden the options to provide more environmentally-friendly products.

Legal

It comes with the requirements needed in a particular territory or laws to perform the business and may differ from one territory to another, which needs to be considered when businesses are opened. The pandemic has indeed compelled nations all over the world to impose unparalleled lockdowns, forcing companies to close for long periods and imposing restrictions in our daily lives to mitigate and possibly minimize the effect of the pandemic in the Philippines. This is the best example of how legal actions affect the business because everyone is required to follow government restrictions, especially if it is connected to the business.

IV. STRATEGY FORMULATION

a. BOSTON CONSULTING GROUP MATRIX

The BCG Matrix is designed by Bruce D. Henderson of the Boston Consulting Group, a private management consulting firm specializing in strategic planning (Boston Consulting Group, n.d). This matrix serves as an aid for companies or organizations in analysing their business units or product lines which are also called divisions. The BCG Matrix graphically presents the differences among the product lines in terms of their relative market share position and industry growth rate, consequently allowing the organizations to manage their business portfolios in order to formulate suitable strategies for each division (David & David, 2017).

The relative market share is on the graph's x-axis, and the industry growth rate is on the y-axis of the graph. The matrix consists of four quadrants: The Question Marks or Quadrant I, Stars or Quadrant II, Cash Cows or Quadrant III, and Dogs or Quadrant IV. The units situated on the Question Marks Quadrant have a low relative market share, but they compete in a high-growth industry. The units on the Stars Quadrant have a high relative market share and a high industry growth rate which means they represent the companies' best opportunities for growth and profitability. The divisions on the Cash Cows Quadrant have a high relative market share but compete in a low growth industry. Lastly, the divisions on the Dogs Quadrants are weak because they have low relative market share and compete in a slow or no market growth industry (David & David, 2017).

The Regal Pest Control Company divisions are listed in the table above and their revenues and profits. The first division is the Termite Control Services; the second division is the Pest and Termite Control Chemicals and Equipment; the third is the Non-Structural Account and the Structural Account. In the External Assessment, the market position and the net income of Regal Pest Control and its competitors were recorded. With that data, the relative market share was calculated by dividing the profit percentage by the competitor with the highest market share. According to Grand View Research, the industry growth of Pest Control Services is approximately 5%, while the industry growth of Pest Control Products is approximately 4%.

The figure below is the BCG Matrix of Regal Pest Control Company:

Boston Consulting Group Matrix Analysis

Based on the figure above, Division 1 or the Termite Control Services are situated in the stars quadrant because it has the coordinates of (0.85,5). This means that the company may adopt strategies such as forward, backward, or horizontal integration, market penetration, market development, and product development. Next, the second division is the Pest Control Products; though the industry growth rate is not as high as the industry growth rate of pest control services, it is still located at the stars quadrant with division 1. The same set of strategies can be adopted for this division. There are no divisions on the dog's quadrant, which is suitable for the company. Lastly, divisions 3 and 4 or the non-structural account and structural account are both on the question marks quadrant because they have the same relative market share and industry growth rate. Strategies for the divisions in this quadrant would be market penetration, market development, product development, or divestiture.

As is my custom this time of year I would like to remember those lost in the attack on Pearl Harbor 78 years ago today. I would like to remember the 2,335 people killed and 1,143 wounded. I would like to remember the everlasting scar on those families and our Nation. I would also like to remember the 2 Sailors from the USS Nevada who earned the Medal of Honor during that attack. Captain (Then Lieutenant) Donald K. Ross, USS Nevada. “For distinguished conduct in the line of his profession, extraordinary courage and disregard of his own life during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. When his station in the forward dynamo room of the U.S.S. Nevada became almost untenable due to smoke, steam, and heat, Machinist Ross forced his men to leave that station and performed all the duties himself until blinded and unconscious. Upon being rescued and resuscitated, he returned and secured the forward dynamo room and proceeded to the after dynamo room where he was later again rendered unconscious by exhaustion. Again recovering consciousness he returned to his station where he remained until directed to abandon it.” Chief Boatswain Edwin J. Hill. USS Nevada (Posthumously) “For distinguished conduct in the line of his profession, extraordinary courage, and disregard of his own safety during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, by Japanese forces on December 7, 1941. During the height of the strafing and bombing, Chief Boatswain Hill led his men of the line handling details of the U.S.S. Nevada to the quays, cast off the lines and swam back to his ship. Later, while on the forecastle, attempting to let go the anchors, he was blown overboard and killed by the explosion of several bombs.” There were 15 MoH earned in Pearl Harbor and 1 earned on Sand Island that day. Of the 15 earned 11 were earned posthumously, giving the greatest sacrifice for their Brothers in Arms and their country.   Captain Mervyn S. Bennion, USS West Virginia. (Posthumously) “For conspicuous devotion to duty, extraordinary courage, and complete disregard of his own life, above and beyond the call of duty, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, by Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. As Commanding Officer of the USS West Virginia, after being mortally wounded, Capt. Bennion evidenced apparent concern only in fighting and saving his ship, and strongly protested against being carried from the bridge.” Chief Petty Officer John W. Finn, Naval Air Station Kaneohe Bay. “For extraordinary heroism, distinguished service, and devotion above and beyond the call of duty. During the first attack by Japanese airplanes on the Naval Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, Territory of Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, he promptly secured and manned a .50 caliber machine gun mounted on an instruction stand in a completely exposed section of the parking ramp, which was under heavy enemy machine gun strafing fire. Although painfully wounded many times, he continued to man this gun and to return the enemy’s fire vigorously and with telling effect throughout the enemy strafing and bombing attacks and with complete disregard for his own personal safety. It was only by specific orders that he was persuaded to leave his post to seek medical attention. Following first-aid treatment, although obviously suffering much pain and moving with great difficulty, he returned to the squadron area and actively supervised the rearming of returning planes. His extraordinary heroism and conduct in this action are considered to be in keeping with the highest traditions of the Naval Service.” Ensign Francis C. Flaherty, USS Oklahoma. (Posthumously) “For conspicuous devotion to duty and extraordinary courage and complete disregard of his own life, above and beyond the call of duty, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, by Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. When it was seen that the U.S.S. Oklahoma was going to capsize and the order was given to abandon ship, Ens. Flaherty remained in a turret, holding a flashlight so the remainder of the turret crew could see to escape, thereby sacrificing his own life.” Commander Samuel G. Fuqua, USS Arizona. “For distinguished conduct in action, outstanding heroism, and utter disregard of his own safety, above and beyond the call of duty during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, by Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. Upon the commencement of the attack, Lieutenant Commander Fuqua rushed to the quarterdeck of the U.S.S. Arizona to which he was attached where he was stunned and knocked down by the explosion of a large bomb which hit the quarterdeck, penetrated several decks, and started a severe fire. Upon regaining consciousness, he began to direct the fighting of the fire and the rescue of wounded and injured personnel. Almost immediately there was a tremendous explosion forward, which made the ship appear to rise out of the water, shudder and settle down by the bow rapidly. The whole forward part of the ship was enveloped in flames which were spreading rapidly, and wounded and burned men were pouring out of the ship to the quarterdeck. Despite these conditions, his harrowing experience, and severe enemy bombing and strafing, at the time, Lieutenant Commander Fuqua continued to direct the fighting of fires in order to check them while the wounded and burned could be taken from the ship, and supervised the rescue of these men in such an amazingly calm and cool manner and with such excellent judgement, that it inspired everyone who saw him and undoubtedly resulted in the saving of many lives. After realizing that the ship could not be saved and that he was the senior surviving officer aboard, he directed that it be abandoned, but continued to remain on the quarterdeck and directed abandoning ship and rescue of personnel until satisfied that all personnel that could be had been saved, after which he left the ship with the (last) boatload. The conduct of Lieutenant Commander Fuqua was not only in keeping with the highest traditions of the Naval Service but characterizes him as an outstanding leader of men.” Ensign Herbert Charpiot Jones, USS California. (Posthumously) ‘For conspicuous devotion to duty, extraordinary courage, and complete disregard of his own life, above and beyond the call of duty, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, by Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. Ens. Jones organized and led a party, which was supplying ammunition to the antiaircraft battery of the U.S.S. California after the mechanical hoists were put out of action when he was fatally wounded by a bomb explosion. When 2 men attempted to take him from the area which was on fire, he refused to let them do so, saying in words to the effect, “Leave me alone! I am done for. Get out of here before the magazines go off."’ Captain (future Rear Admiral) Isaac C. Kidd, USS Arizona. (Posthumously) "For conspicuous devotion to duty, extraordinary courage, and complete disregard of his own life, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by Japanese Forces on December 7, 1941. He immediately went to the bridge and as Commander Battleship Division ONE, courageously discharged his duties as Senior Officer Present Afloat until the USS Arizona, his Flagship, blew up from magazine explosions and a direct bomb hit on the bridge, which resulted in the loss of his life.” Lieutenant Commander Jackson C. Pharris, USS California. “For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while attached to the U.S.S. California during the surprise enemy Japanese aerial attack on Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, December 7, 1941. In charge of the ordnance repair party on the third deck when the first Japanese torpedo struck almost directly under his station, Lt. (then Gunner) Pharris was stunned and severely injured by the concussion which hurled him to the overhead and back to the deck. Quickly recovering, he acted on his own initiative to set up a hand-supply ammunition train for the antiaircraft guns. With water and oil rushing in where the port bulkhead had been torn up from the deck, with many of the remaining crewmembers overcome by oil fumes, and the ship without power and listing heavily to port as a result of a second torpedo hit, Lt. Pharris ordered the shipfitters to counterflood. Twice rendered unconscious by the nauseous fumes and handicapped by his painful injuries, he persisted in his desperate efforts to speed up the supply of ammunition and at the same time repeatedly risked his life to enter flooding compartments and drag to safety unconscious shipmates who were gradually being submerged in oil. By his inspiring leadership, his valiant efforts and his extreme loyalty to his ship and her crew, he saved many of his shipmates from death and was largely responsible for keeping the California in action during the attack. His heroic conduct throughout this first eventful engagement of World War II reflects the highest credit upon Lt. Pharris and enhances the finest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.” Chief Radioman Thomas J. Reeves, USS California. (Posthumously) “For distinguished conduct in the line of his profession, extraordinary courage and disregard of his own safety during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, by Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. After the mechanized ammunition hoists were put out of action in the U.S.S. California, Reeves, on his own initiative, in a burning passageway, assisted in the maintenance of an ammunition supply by hand to the antiaircraft guns until he was overcome by smoke and fire, which resulted in his death.” Machinist’s Mate First Class Robert R. Scott, USS California. (Posthumously) “For conspicuous devotion to duty, extraordinary courage and complete disregard of his own life, above and beyond the call of duty, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor by Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. The compartment, in the U.S.S. California, in which the air compressor, to which Scott was assigned as his battle station, was flooded as the result of a torpedo hit. The remainder of the personnel evacuated that compartment but Scott refused to leave, saying words to the effect “This is my station and I will stay and give them air as long as the guns are going.” Chief Watertender Peter Tomich, USS Utah. (Posthumously) “For distinguished conduct in the line of his profession, and extraordinary courage and disregard of his own safety, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor by the Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. Although realizing that the ship was capsizing, as a result of enemy bombing and torpedoing, Tomich remained at his post in the engineering plant of the U.S.S. Utah, until he saw that all boilers were secured and all fireroom personnel had left their stations, and by so doing lost his own life.” Captain Franklin Van Valkenburgh, USS Arizona. (Posthumously) “For conspicuous devotion to duty, extraordinary courage and complete disregard of his own life, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor T.H., by Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. As commanding officer of the U.S.S. Arizona, Capt. Van Valkenburgh gallantly fought his ship until the U.S.S. Arizona blew up from magazine explosions and a direct bomb hit on the bridge which resulted in the loss of his life.” Seaman First Class James R. Ward, USS Oklahoma. (Posthumously) “For conspicuous devotion to duty, extraordinary courage and complete disregard of his life, above and beyond the call of duty, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor by Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. When it was seen that the U.S.S. Oklahoma was going to capsize and the order was given to abandon ship, Ward remained in a turret holding a flashlight so the remainder of the turret crew could see to escape, thereby sacrificing his own life.” Captain Cassin Young, USS Vestal. (Killed in Action November 13,1942, Gaudalcanal.) “For distinguished conduct in action, outstanding heroism and utter disregard of his own safety, above and beyond the call of duty, as Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. Vestal, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by enemy Japanese forces on December 7, 1941. Commander Young proceeded to the bridge and later took personal command of the 3-inch antiaircraft gun. When blown overboard by the blast of the forward magazine explosion of the U.S.S. Arizona, to which the U.S.S. Vestal was moored, he swam back to his ship. The entire forward part of the U.S.S. Arizona was a blazing inferno with oil afire on the water between the two ships; as a result of several bomb hits, the U.S.S. Vestal was afire in several places, was settling and taking on a list. Despite severe enemy bombing and strafing at the time, and his shocking experience of having been blown overboard, Commander Young, with extreme coolness and calmness, moved his ship to an anchorage distant from the U.S.S. Arizona, and subsequently beached the U.S.S. Vestal upon determining that such action was required to save his ship.” First Lieutenant George Ham Cannon, Sand Island Midway Island. (Posthumously) “For distinguished conduct in the line of his profession, extraordinary courage, and disregard of his own condition during the bombardment of Sand Island, Midway Islands, by Japanese forces on December 7, 1941. Lieutenant Cannon, Battery Commander of Battery “H”, Sixth Defense Battalion, Fleet Marine Force, U. S. Marine Corps, was at his Command Post when he was mortally wounded by enemy shell fire. He refused to be evacuated from his post until after his men, who had been wounded by the same shell were evacuated, and directed the reorganization of his Command Post until forcibly removed, and as a result of his utter disregard of his own condition he died from loss of blood.”

Ok, so, I said I should make a masterlist of Robert Vaughn roles and whether or not each character survived, so here it is, under the cut--presented in chronological order of release/airdate, here are the roles that @ksturf​ and/or I have seen (will be updated as we see more).

Roy Pelham (Wagon Train) -- survives

Roger Bigelow (Wagon Train) -- survives
