Leroy Jethro Gibbs is a former Gunnery Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. In the main story, he is an NCIS special agent and is also the current leader of the main NCIS Major Case Response Team. He is mostly called "Gibbs" by colleagues, "boss" by Tony and McGee. He is, in the words of Ducky (Gibbs's oldest and closest friend), a man of more questions than answers.

For me, the person that instantly came to mind was a now junior at my high school named Alex Matz.

I, however, believe that I have the potential, the training, and the motivation to do something amazing as the VP of District Four. As I stated, every person has the potential to be a leader, though some stand out more than others.…
