Lt. Edward Costa, field operations officer for Base Boston Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology department, otherwise known as C4IT, recently earned the Cmdr. John P. Dailey award for outstanding leadership and mentorship within the C4IT community. “When the ALCOAST came out soliciting for the award, I read the requirements, and there wasn’t even a question in my mind Ed was the right man for this,” said Costa's supervisor, Cmdr. Stephen Bird.
