Yeah All right people are laughing. That's good. They're paying attention Okay. Hey good. Uh, good morning everybody skipper chaplain staff family shipmates. It's tremendous honor to be with you today In the navy we tend to give the me talk officers a hard time about bad weather But I was telling the chaplain this is on you. You're the ones the relationship up there So he didn't really deliver it for us today, but hopefully we'll get through this before the storm rolls through So when I stand up here and I look out of the room and those on on the web To me this room is just an endless river of awesome awesomeness And I say that not just about the folks in front of me the people behind them supporting them the folks on this stage Um man when we talk about the american people being proud of a group of people It's everybody in this room because we all contributed this you all contributed to this moment When you do a lot of public speaking as I have it's helpful to do audience analysis One of the first things you want to know is what slot did you get? Before lunch before dinner the last slot on the last day of a conference while everyone is looking at their watches nervously To get flights that's usually the worst slot You ask who yourself who's in attendance parents grandparents mentors folks in uniform Air force navy marine Is there any press in the room other flag or general officers who didn't tell us who just snuck in How many people will be there is it on the web etc. So those are all the things I kind of go through in my brain In addition to that analysis for this one I did extensive scientific research. I talked to 25 Former ocs graduates The conversation went like this. Hey shipmate. Guess what? I know you went to ocs Hey, i'm speaking at ocs graduation. How cool is that man? Hey, do you remember who spoke at your graduation? All 25 did not have one clue in fact one guy even told me Hey, I was so hungover. I was afraid I was going to puke. I just wanted to get out of there without making a scene So That is the sight picture that I have So here it is a room full of young new officers Who have been locked on this base for months with plane tickets in hands bags packed who will never remember me And my mom says i'm special Right The other thing I ask myself when I do this is what does success look like when i'm done And it's wonderful when you get in an uber and someone's complaining. It's not the right car It's dirty or it smells. I'm like, hey, man, you're focused on the wrong thing Success is we get there safely and alive. It's like being on an airplane I don't really if someone's saying hey, I say that too, right? I saw her look back like even when I got in an airplane I don't care if there are pretzels or peanuts or the drinks don't get it's like I want to get there Right, so focusing on the thing that truly matters. So what's success look like? So For the staff I want you to feel appreciated in a renewed sense of spirit of what you do here Because I actually think what you do here is one of the most important things in our military To the families. I want you to feel that your kids are in good hands And we'll also have time for pictures. I was in this room 32 years ago And went through a ceremony just like this the only thing I remember are the photos that we have from it So we will have time for that. I promise And the new officers I just hopefully you take away one thing One thing that you put in your c bag with you that you leave her with That you use and make a difference in other people's lives. So buckle in here we go So to the staff well done yet again another superb class of officers for a world class organization like the navy Nothing is as vital as world class leadership as you listen to my remarks I hope that they provide you a renewed sense of purpose for your mission. Well done and thank you team So that's an applause moment for those guys. So for the staff I also want to thank dana steiner. She's an assistant and she helped me get the books here for you guys And then we signed the other day that you have in your possession now You're like what book is he talking about? We're gonna come to the book So I want to thank her she's a mainstay here at the officer candidate school program And she's just awesome. So thanks dana for the parents and their relatives. Please excuse me If I get emotional What a deep sense of gratitude I have for you As I close my eyes and I've thought about this moment I've tried to visualize all the moments for you to get to this point They're birthed the hospital ride home They're diapers the first stitches The first lost tooth the first baseball hit or soccer goal Recitals first daddy daughter dances you name it all of those moments To me there is no single greater gift to this country Than to raise a child for its defense I know there are some parents who are veterans yourself But this person's humble opinion your child wearing the cloth of our nation supersedes your own I know my deploy deployments through the years Especially ones to the sandbox during the war were much harder on my parents than me So on behalf of a nation that's grateful chief of naval operations Admiral gilday I wanted to say thank you for these young men and women that are sitting here in front of me Thank you very much So for the new incidents my advice is very targeted to the next two or three years of your life If I was sitting there oh by the way I would trade these stars for your ensign bars any day of the week I would love to do it all over again The x the co was right the journey you're about to go on is going to be awesome Um But if I was sitting there I would say hey man, what's success look like when I'm done So here is the bottom line up front They'd call that the bluff Imagine a decade from now you're walking down the street and you run into one of your sailors Or more likely in our day and age you connect on zoom Or you're on a social media post or something And I hope a conversation transpires something like this The sailor says to his kids. Hey remember the officer. I'm always talking about This is him This is mr. Potter. This is the ensign. He was my divo on my first ship Man, he's one of the most important people in my life. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him I am so grateful to him for being there when I needed him most For you folks, that's what success looks like. Okay, so just bear with me for a few minutes We're going to give you the oath and we'll get out of here I see that not happening from you being the best ship handlers Pilots or nuke engineers. Those are all important roles, which I know you will excel at You'll experience that type of moment through being a leader My words are not designed to prevent failure heartache mistakes or regrets. You're going to have all of those things. That's just part of life I am known for saying that I got more more scars than stars. I barely got into college I fought for a two-year rotc scholarship I failed to finish buds. I failed my first swoleboard The list goes on Okay It's easy when you get these Readings about oh man harvard all this other stuff. I got way more scars than stars For many years. I even felt I was a bit less of an officer because I wasn't an academy grad It was a light bulb moment for me when I learned none of my sailors cared where I got my commission When I showed up to us as Callahan, nobody said hey, where'd you go to school? They didn't care. They cared about when was chow The eggs at breakfast weren't very good. When are we going to get liberty? Why are we staying late again in the engineering department when everyone else is getting liberty? That's the stuff they cared about The funny thing is most of them didn't even know I'd gone to college If you're hung up on being an ocs grad get over it and get over it quickly We picked you you're graduating an incredibly tough program and you're an officer in the greatest navy the world has ever seen That is the self-talk. I want you to leave here with I want you also leaving here knowing I think the single most important mission you have is the collective readiness of you and your people always be ready Fire when ready gridly is iconic phrase in our navy's history Commodore George Dewey uttered those famous words in 1898 on april 25th after the sinking of the battleship main in Havana harbor congress declared war on spain That same day the secretary of the navy sent a message to Commodore Dewey with orders to find and destroy the spanish fleet With no notice. Dewey led his squadron from hong kong to manila bay and the squadron Was the ship uss olympia in fact the ceos served on a uss olympia, but different ship He's not that old and he commanded was it was commanded by a 40-year veteran named charles gridly Upon citing the spanish ships. Dewey entered the bay in a column formation when the ships closed within range Dewey uttered the famous words you may fire when ready gridly The moral of the story is that dewey squadron and gridly ship the olympia were ready when called upon Do any of you know when you will be called upon to be tested in fire? The answer is no you we we have no idea That is why you must always be ready Your readiness is vital to the success of our navy and the great leadership and great and great leadership will be the critical enabler I would go further to say that it's not enough to lead your people I want you to love your people John wooden was the famous 20th century basketball coach Who was actually awarded the greatest coach of the 20th century all sports men women pro college you name it He had created a leadership pyramid for success. He had been a teacher for many years before he was ucla's coach But towards the end of his life. He said the famous pyramid was missing the most important word in life It was the word love He said he realized later on that it was In the pyramid it just wasn't one of the blocks It was actually the cement Or the glue between the blocks that held it together So leadership is in fact about love My favorite musical lame is a rob has one of the greatest lyrics of all time To to love another person is to see the face of god When i was telling my wife, I was going to take the risk to talk about love and readiness and charles gridly She said you know ted you might want to explain what kind of love you're talking about So chris here i am Philia is the love without romantic attraction and it occurs between friends or family members It occurs when both people share The same values and respect each other. It's commonly referred to as brotherly love or sisterly love The catalyst for this is the mind your mind articulates which friends are on the same wavelength as you And who can you trust? Which shipmates are on the same wavelength? Which ones aren't? Who do we need to get there? What gets them there is leadership? We exhibit philia by engaging in a deep conversation In deep conversation being open and trustworthy being supportive and hard times The book that was handed out yesterday to you was singularly and purposefully written with you in your task in mind The audience analysis for this is c going ensigns To the fleet to lead our sailors That is the book i wish i had when i was sitting in the seat similar to you The key premise of the book is leadership can be learned like playing the piano or learning to fly a plane You must study practice observe and be mentored By virtue of the oath you're about to swear You're writing a blank check to the american people to leaders like me who if need be will cash it And will put you in harm's way for the success of the mission and the security of our nation I won't blink to do it You will hear mission first, but remember people always More than a million americans have given what lincoln called the last full measure of devotion It is written in isaiah Chapter six verse eight Then i heard the voice of the lord saying Whom shall i send and who will go for us? And he said here i am lord Send me send me remember Your sailors answered the same call And they've written the same blank check that you have They too have parents and families dreams and hopes for their future I believe to my core that you can play a central role in helping them achieve their dreams In their vision for what they believe their time in uniform would look like Today in the audience Is my first department head and you should know that he has supported me and encouraged me and loved me for 30 years He's one of the most important leaders in my life. His son is in your class He's named after our commanding officer and to this day many of the officers And enlisted from us as callahan remain close Together through captain ryan's leadership. We deliver it up to honor Those relationships are one of the greatest gifts your service will afford you I also know from my audience analysis that there are several prior enlisted in this class And i'm sure each one of you Could share a similar story of mentor chief or officer who played a significant role It's why you're sitting here today As precious as our nation's treasure is we can always replace a valve or a panel while the pipe or repair radar Replacing you is much more difficult Just a few final recommendations on readiness that gridly would agree with Readiness is highest when we start with the individual responsibility not top-down guidance from admirals like me It's on the deck plates. Look left. Look right. That is where it needs to start Actions prevail over words another way to say it leadership by example Love yourself is about being good to yourself Please take care of yourselves and if you're struggling any way Raise your hand and get help take a knee whatever the team needs you mentally Physically emotionally spiritually fit and focused Don't be afraid of tough love either ask my chang. He knows it works The buddy system is proven Do it don't let shipmates go off alone Alcohol is a factor in 98% of the bad things that happen to our team They negatively impact readiness and we can't afford it help people who need help with that Know yourself and foot stomp OCS and rotc us naval academy. You're all ensigns. No one cares where you got your commission The gridly story was about operational readiness a key enabler is your individual readiness your heart Your head and your heart have to be in the game As time has passed few know who charles gridly is The truth is none of us knows when we will be called upon so we must be ready always So having a charles gridly on our tribe is a great value and a gift But only if members of the tribe pass along these important lessons and learn from them So in closing the best part of any speech For 246 years our team has amassed some amazing stories My challenge for you as a new member of the team study what kind of leader you want to be Answer the question what does success look like and please take care of our people and yourself included In the poem the laws of the navy by Admiral Halfwood He writes on the strength of the link in a cable dependent the might of the chain Who knows when they'll must mice be tested so lived they'll bear us the strain Embrace our culture of readiness and know it is your turn to be tested and bear a strain on the chain I know our navy is in good hands. May you always have fair wins as you make your own stories.
