These young men and women as the newest Sailors in the world’s finest Navy I realize that this is an exciting day and that many of you are exhausted excited and really just thinking of seeing your family and friends I must confess I felt the same way when I went through my

Commission ceremony way back in September of 99 which seems like only a week ago but if you bear with me for just a few minutes I hope to impart a little bit of knowledge mentoring coaching and advice I want to focus on four things teamwork leadership education and perseverance

No one can succeed on their own many times as each of you saw when dealing with floods fires and other challenges is that you only succeed utilizing teamwork while you may not recognize it this has been true of your whole life through support your family your friends your teachers and others who have

Supported you and provided many opportunities for you to succeed as important as teamwork is leadership you’ve been surrounded by leaders your whole life you’ve been guided and molded by them making you the person you are today leaders who have mentored and coached you throughout your life for the last 10 weeks you were

Introduced to a new type of leader and a new type of leadership in addition to the mentorship coaching and support these leaders provide instruction and orders and in return expect good order and discipline I wish I could tell you that you always have great leaders but that just isn’t true

Do not allow poor leadership to disenfranchise you seek out good leaders that do exist in each command for mentorship coaching and support also know that leadership knows no ranks you can be a leader that others look to to do the right thing and provide the right example for others to learn

From most of your life has also been involved in education I hate to tell you this but it’s not over as you start the next chapter in your life there’s going to be continued interest in education education and particular training have been the Mantra that is born in Blood

And Tears handed down to each of us new generation from Sailors who have gone before us the training you receive here and continue to receive over the next several weeks months and years has never been more critical than in today’s environment always be inquisitive never stop learning lastly I want to speak of

Perseverance you are stronger than you think you have survived one of the toughest things young men and women can do in this country which is complete boot camp of the 3.5 million high school students who graduated last year less than 1% can make it to this point you’re

The best America has to offer there will be challenging times ahead of you times where you feel defeated and want to give up don’t if you can survive who camp you can survive anything You Are Not Alone your friends your family your fellow Sailors and your leaders are there to

Support you don’t ever give up on yourself don’t ever let a shipmate give up on themselves either we are stronger with you than without you don’t give up the ship you may or may not be aware but Sailors just like you who were standing less than a year ago here are now aboard

US Navy warships in the Red Sea that have survived numerous attacks shot down numerous enemy missiles and drones by using teamer learning the raped following their leaders and persevering through many challenges they have faced they have survived if you do the same you will also succeed to the parents

Families and friends I want to thank each and every one of you for the integral role you have played in your sailor’s success you help shape your recruit in a person who wanted to stand up for their country who understands the Navy core values of Honor courage and

Commitment we now welcome all of you into the Navy family in June of 1999 almost 25 years ago I first put on my first Navy uniform like you I made a choice into the profession of arms and to serve our great nation each of you has selflessly
