Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in a warm recruit training command welcome to Rear Admiral Mattingly. Well, good morning everyone. It's such a pleasure to be in your presence. This is America. This before you is America. Those in front of you are wearing the cloth of our nation. This is America. Other nations look at America as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy around the world. This. This is America. Thank you so much for that kind introduction, Rick. My mother would have been so proud, my father would have wondered who you were talking about. Good morning to the veterans. Good morning to the family and friends that are here today to witness the graduation of the 371 newest sailors in the United States Navy. It is a great privilege again to be here for this monumental event for these 371 individual sailors, these new sailors into America's war-fighting Navy, our Navy, the most powerful in the world. Before we talk about these women and men before us, I want to thank the family and the friends who are present in person and virtual. And to skip a frober, you're in good hands here with the XO leading the charge. We miss your presence, but enjoy your time as your family. For the families, by showing up and taking time to be part of this ceremony, you are validating those you love, that you support their decision to serve in the United States Navy. By this unswerving support, you are playing a final role in our Navy mission to deliver sustained and credible combat power to preserve the peace, respond in crisis, and win decisively in war. Those who served or currently serve do so because of your love, your encouragement, and your support. To affirm your role, I want to share my personal connection to your experience. Almost 36 years ago, I was graduating boot camp. It was in Orlando, Florida where I went to boot camp. This day is personal for me, for two distinct reasons. One, I get to reflect back to my graduation from boot camp with my parents and family in the stands. I was so proud of what I was accomplishing, and I was elated that my family was with me on this big day. And I felt that I had done something beyond what I thought was possible. And two, I connect with the experience of each of these sailors before us, so much in store for each of you. What you are about to embark upon, what you will accomplish as an individual and collectively as a team. How you will shape our nation's future. I'm excited beyond words for each of you. So family and friends, over the past several weeks, you entrusted us with the safety of your loved ones. You supported your current recruit throughout their journey, and now they are sailors. One of those sailors that is graduating today, you heard today sing, Rayvon Owen. So proud of Rayvon. I'm thinking about recycling him for another 10 weeks, just so he can continue to hear his wonderful music. Family says no, it's ready for him to move on. But just another perfect example of what America is all about. And so now I recruit completed boot camp and proudly stand before you to honor your involvement in their lives. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do to be a positive support network for these sailors. I also want to recognize the tireless professionalism of the Women and Men of Recruit Training Command, or RTC. Over the last several weeks, you have never taken your eyes off the goal of getting these young women and men to this day ready to enter the fleet. For the family and friends, you have likely received letters from your sailors discussing some aspects of what their time here has been like. These days are long. The training is intense and difficult. But every step of the way, the recruit division commanders and instructors are right beside your loved one, building confidence, providing mentorship and offering guidance. This process transforms recruits into the sailors who proudly stand before you. These are the sailors. These are the sailors ready to join the fleet and operate as a team to protect our United States of America and defend our values and interests through actions guided by our core values of honor, of courage and of commitment. Because of RTC, the Red Ropers, the instructors, these sailors before you are ready to meet the demands of our Navy. I want to take the time to thank the Red Ropers and the instructors, so please join me in a round of applause for all that they have done. Also during today's graduation, I want to take a moment to recognize someone who does not want recognition, but has had a profound impact on not only the RTC mission, but the Navy mission at large. That someone is Ms. Mary Bikinshire, Vince coordinator here at RTC since December of 2015. She also served her country wearing the cloth of our nation honorably for 27 years in uniform from E1 to O5, E1 to O5. Sailors, that means that she was one of you and then she led you as a human resource officer and then she wasn't done yet and she came here to RTC to boot camp to be part of your continued journey. Throughout her service, she was dedicated to helping others. I talk about two things when I go out into high schools and ROTC units and colleges and universities and it's care and competency. Care is what Mary does. Competency, she has the highest levels of competency in everything she touches. Since she has came aboard RTC in December of 2015, she has coordinated 432 recruit graduation ceremonies honoring more than 400,000 recruits and their families and their families were more than a million in attendance. 85,000 phone calls, 400 senior level officer engagements to serve as reviewing officers for these ceremonies. Mary, these numbers are staggering but even more astounding is the level of care you have imparted to each of these seniors. We are better for having served with you and while every recruit might not know you by name, all 400,000 have felt your impact. Mary, thank you for all you have done and I wish you nothing but the best in all future endeavors we will miss you. For the stars of the show, the Navy's newest sailors, you have done something very special today is your day. Today you have become part of a legacy that goes back to the founding of our nation's Navy 248 years ago. You are now part of a naval force that has protected our nation throughout centuries by operating around the world. We are the nation's away game. Bootcamp has demanded more from you than you might have thought possible. Like all the sailors that have gone before you, you have met every challenge. We see it in your performance. You pass crucible events such as battle stations and improve in yourself worthy of wearing the uniform that symbolizes freedom, professionalism and democracy across the world. Wear the plot of our nation with pride today and every day going forward. You made a choice. You made a choice to serve our nation. You chose to be part of something bigger than yourself. You chose to be sailors. Congratulations. Today is a day to celebrate your accomplishments at Bootcamp and reflect on and be excited for your future. You are about to embark on a challenging yet rewarding adventure. You will serve on ships, on submarines and squadrons and units around the world. You'll travel the world. You'll meet new people and friends. You will be busy but do not forget to call your mom. They will revel in your triumphs along with you and be there for you when you face challenges. Keep them involved and your life and service will be richer for it. You are joining our Navy at an important time in history. We are counting on each of you. Our nation depends on a Navy that is ready to compete, fight and win. And wherever and whenever that is needed. By graduating today, you are taking on a piece of that responsibility. As sailors, you are the most important asset we have. Admiral Paparo, commander of Pacific Fleet, a few months ago was interviewed during an at sea operation in the South China Sea by CNN. And the question was asked to him, is it your hope that we will defend the adversary if they decide to invade a nation that is democracy? And he looked at her and said, it is not my hope. It is my duty. It is my duty. Sailors, it is our duty to protect democracy and freedom. Continue to train hard to be that competitive war-finding advantage. Be proud to call yourself a sailor. You have earned not only my respect, but the respect and appreciation of all Americans, especially those before you at this moment. I will leave you with one final thought, something a great mentor of mine shared with me years ago. And I strive to live by every day. And that is this. Get up early every single day. Work hard. And do not go to bed at night until you are smarter than when you woke up and you have made a better place. Bravo Zulu, shipmates. Well done. And let me be the first to say welcome aboard. Thank you. And he will be joined on the drill deck by remaining seated until your graduates have been placed on Liberty. Wonderful musicians of Navy band. Post. Section leaders, fall out and retrieve outer garments. Today and tomorrow you can pick up your sailor. Sailors going on Liberty without a vehicle are to exit gate 8 toward the train station parking lot. Thank you for joining us on this most memorable of Navy days.
