 McPawn Mike Stevens visited the Pacific Northwest as a part of his zeroing in on excellence initiative and commented on the examples that sailors are setting in the fleet. There are sailors and leaders alike doing great work up there zeroing in on excellence controlling what they own focusing on good order and discipline and also developing leaders. I was so proud to have the opportunity to interact with them during the week-long visit that we had in the Pacific Northwest. Stevens also noted the importance of instilling leadership in sailors. Well I believe this I believe everything we do all starts and stops with leadership. Our ability to lead and to provide leadership is essential absolutely essential to the total success of our Navy.
