in a second , but I just wanna say one

01:16:38.748 --> 01:16:40.859
more time , one round of applause for

01:16:40.859 --> 01:16:42.970
our award recipients , and individual

01:16:42.970 --> 01:16:45.770
awards , please . These are . Sailors ,

01:16:45.779 --> 01:16:47.835
ladies and gentlemen , thank you for

01:16:47.835 --> 01:16:50.057
supporting them over these long weeks .

01:16:50.850 --> 01:16:52.850
Again , welcome to Recruit Training

01:16:52.850 --> 01:16:54.961
Command . This special day we welcome

01:16:54.961 --> 01:16:57.350
573 of our newest sailors into our Navy .

01:16:57.779 --> 01:17:00.240
Each training group is built out at RTC

01:17:00.240 --> 01:17:02.240
according to the week they arrive .

01:17:02.240 --> 01:17:04.779
Every Tuesday , holidays aside , our

01:17:04.779 --> 01:17:06.890
triad meets with a new training group

01:17:06.890 --> 01:17:09.379
here in this hall of Honor . To welcome

01:17:09.379 --> 01:17:11.700
them to the Navy boot camp and the

01:17:11.700 --> 01:17:13.859
journey they've embarked on . In this

01:17:13.859 --> 01:17:16.140
case , I think I was TDY when this

01:17:16.140 --> 01:17:18.430
training group reported , so I'm not

01:17:18.430 --> 01:17:21.040
exactly sure what XO maybe told them ,

01:17:21.589 --> 01:17:23.589
but it seemed to work , right ? All

01:17:23.589 --> 01:17:25.939
right . So it seems like it worked . So

01:17:25.939 --> 01:17:28.180
bear with me . We generally emphasize

01:17:28.180 --> 01:17:31.580
that we or they are from , uh , you

01:17:31.580 --> 01:17:33.580
know , from a very early day , have

01:17:33.580 --> 01:17:35.640
joined a profession . And has served

01:17:35.640 --> 01:17:38.189
our great nation for over 250 years .

01:17:39.129 --> 01:17:42.049
That we must strive each day to serve

01:17:42.049 --> 01:17:44.271
with honor , courage , and commitment .

01:17:44.959 --> 01:17:47.959
That trust represents the currency of

01:17:47.959 --> 01:17:51.160
our profession , while integrity is the

01:17:51.160 --> 01:17:55.049
interwoven ethic that binds us all . We

01:17:55.049 --> 01:17:57.569
teach that courage can be learned . And

01:17:57.759 --> 01:18:01.120
that commitment matures over time as we

01:18:01.120 --> 01:18:03.520
reflect on these core values , those of

01:18:03.520 --> 01:18:06.000
our origins , and those that we are

01:18:06.000 --> 01:18:08.359
hard earned through a life of service

01:18:08.359 --> 01:18:11.169
above self . So here we are , ladies

01:18:11.169 --> 01:18:13.410
and gentlemen . Shortly you'll have the

01:18:13.410 --> 01:18:15.569
opportunity to gauge our success with

01:18:15.569 --> 01:18:18.029
your loved ones . In case you didn't

01:18:18.029 --> 01:18:20.140
know , I've been here for a couple of

01:18:20.140 --> 01:18:22.140
years . Tomorrow , recruit training

01:18:22.140 --> 01:18:23.862
command , as Captain Davis has

01:18:23.862 --> 01:18:25.751
mentioned , will host a change of

01:18:25.751 --> 01:18:27.751
command . I'll turn over the sacred

01:18:27.751 --> 01:18:30.049
responsibility of command to Captain

01:18:30.049 --> 01:18:32.850
Kent Davis after almost 3 years here at

01:18:32.850 --> 01:18:36.430
RTC . On a side note , a friend of mine

01:18:36.430 --> 01:18:38.374
once shared , he kept track of the

01:18:38.374 --> 01:18:39.986
number of graduations he had

01:18:39.986 --> 01:18:42.229
participated at RTC . So it got me to

01:18:42.229 --> 01:18:44.629
wondering how many have I , have I

01:18:44.629 --> 01:18:47.620
served here for . I believe today marks

01:18:47.620 --> 01:18:51.259
143 . The number or the

01:18:51.259 --> 01:18:54.580
one before it is special to me . So as

01:18:54.580 --> 01:18:56.691
Captain Davis alluded to , I attended

01:18:56.691 --> 01:18:58.580
the United States Merchant Marine

01:18:58.580 --> 01:19:01.220
Academy from 1993 to 1998 . It's a

01:19:01.220 --> 01:19:03.164
four-year program in case you were

01:19:03.164 --> 01:19:05.220
wondering if that gives you any clue

01:19:05.220 --> 01:19:07.164
how hard I had to work to become a

01:19:07.164 --> 01:19:09.387
marine engineer . My parents tirelessly

01:19:09.387 --> 01:19:11.276
shuttled me home and back for the

01:19:11.276 --> 01:19:13.331
occasional long weekends and uh with

01:19:13.331 --> 01:19:15.109
bated breath drove me down to a

01:19:15.109 --> 01:19:17.276
container yard in Port Elizabeth , New

01:19:17.276 --> 01:19:19.498
Jersey at Zero dark 30 in the summer of

01:19:19.498 --> 01:19:22.009
1994 to report aboard my first ship .

01:19:22.810 --> 01:19:26.100
The steamship export forever . I was

01:19:26.100 --> 01:19:28.211
scared they were probably terrified ,

01:19:28.211 --> 01:19:30.322
as you all were when you dropped your

01:19:30.322 --> 01:19:32.100
sailors off . I may be directly

01:19:32.100 --> 01:19:34.267
responsible for the gray hair . To Mom

01:19:34.267 --> 01:19:35.489
and Dad , I'm sorry .

01:19:38.149 --> 01:19:40.490
My wild and misspent youth . All right ,

01:19:40.790 --> 01:19:43.068
the first day I raced around that ship .

01:19:44.270 --> 01:19:46.326
Remember that weather deck with that

01:19:46.326 --> 01:19:49.870
crew , and I was convinced . That I had

01:19:49.870 --> 01:19:51.981
made a horrible decision . Absolutely

01:19:52.939 --> 01:19:55.700
convinced and we talk about this when

01:19:55.700 --> 01:19:57.922
we start training here because a lot of

01:19:57.922 --> 01:19:59.978
your loved ones go through that same

01:19:59.978 --> 01:20:02.033
anxiety for that first experience in

01:20:02.033 --> 01:20:05.029
life . We talk about this , we'll pass ,

01:20:05.620 --> 01:20:09.529
and you know what it did . What was I

01:20:09.529 --> 01:20:11.585
thinking ? Why was I here ? The next

01:20:11.585 --> 01:20:13.696
day though , I reported at the bridge

01:20:13.696 --> 01:20:15.751
at 0800 to stand my very first watch

01:20:15.751 --> 01:20:18.085
under instruction . And when I reported ,

01:20:18.085 --> 01:20:20.529
the ship was already underway outside

01:20:20.529 --> 01:20:22.751
of New York Harbor . I looked forward .

01:20:22.890 --> 01:20:25.330
There's water . I'm like , holy cow . I

01:20:25.330 --> 01:20:27.441
looked to the right , I'm sorry , the

01:20:27.441 --> 01:20:29.552
left , and there's water . I'm like ,

01:20:29.552 --> 01:20:31.719
oh boy . I look to the right , there's

01:20:31.719 --> 01:20:33.970
more water . I'm like , Oh boy . And

01:20:33.970 --> 01:20:36.189
then I realized when I was struck with

01:20:36.189 --> 01:20:38.939
that view in that moment , I was where

01:20:38.939 --> 01:20:42.229
I was meant to be . I was at sea .

01:20:42.629 --> 01:20:45.350
I was on my journey to becoming a

01:20:45.350 --> 01:20:48.620
sailor . United States Navy sailor ,

01:20:48.839 --> 01:20:50.950
and I knew I was where I was meant to

01:20:50.950 --> 01:20:53.240
be . Shipmates , you are where you are

01:20:53.240 --> 01:20:56.479
meant to be in time in history to make

01:20:56.479 --> 01:20:59.759
a difference . Serve with honor . Serve

01:20:59.759 --> 01:21:01.600
with courage , and serve with

01:21:01.600 --> 01:21:03.933
commitment , and you will be successful .

01:21:04.759 --> 01:21:08.000
So sailors now under the 142 . Kings

01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:10.167
Point , as my school is known , is the

01:21:10.167 --> 01:21:12.333
only Federal academy to carry a battle

01:21:12.333 --> 01:21:14.333
standard that honors 142 cadets and

01:21:14.333 --> 01:21:16.839
midshipmen who shipped out just as I

01:21:16.839 --> 01:21:19.600
did on that sunny day in 1994 who were

01:21:19.600 --> 01:21:21.767
tragically lost to enemy action during

01:21:21.767 --> 01:21:25.359
World War II . 42 is special to me

01:21:25.580 --> 01:21:27.524
because it reminds me that life is

01:21:27.524 --> 01:21:30.399
precious . 142 is important to me

01:21:30.779 --> 01:21:32.668
because it is often said that our

01:21:32.668 --> 01:21:34.723
service is underwritten with a blank

01:21:34.723 --> 01:21:36.723
check . We are our families hope is

01:21:36.723 --> 01:21:40.140
never cashed . I believe success in our

01:21:40.140 --> 01:21:42.307
profession is forged with attention to

01:21:42.307 --> 01:21:44.251
detail , hard work , and technical

01:21:44.251 --> 01:21:46.520
mastery that unlocks creative

01:21:46.520 --> 01:21:48.687
opportunity to seize the initiative to

01:21:48.687 --> 01:21:52.290
be victorious in any situation . Always

01:21:52.290 --> 01:21:54.620
remember , chance favors the prepared

01:21:54.620 --> 01:21:57.819
mind . Practice the level of mastery

01:21:57.819 --> 01:22:00.100
where you can't get it wrong . Someone

01:22:00.100 --> 01:22:01.989
I know keeps reminding me of that

01:22:01.989 --> 01:22:04.156
periodically . I believe the secret is

01:22:04.156 --> 01:22:05.989
to embrace the moment while also

01:22:05.989 --> 01:22:07.822
dedicating our lives to lifelong

01:22:07.822 --> 01:22:10.044
learning . You are on the right track .

01:22:10.044 --> 01:22:12.267
Our professional arms has sailed across

01:22:12.267 --> 01:22:14.489
the horizon for over 250 years carrying

01:22:14.489 --> 01:22:16.378
the red , white , and blue in the

01:22:16.378 --> 01:22:15.879
pursuit of life , liberty , and the

01:22:15.879 --> 01:22:18.046
pursuit of those who threaten it . Our

01:22:18.046 --> 01:22:20.779
duty is to ensure we carry those colors

01:22:20.959 --> 01:22:23.240
with honor and integrity for another

01:22:23.240 --> 01:22:26.669
250 years . So shipmates

01:22:28.540 --> 01:22:32.259

01:22:32.259 --> 01:22:36.109
