Ladies and gentlemen, please rise if you welcome today's section. Follow up and collect outer guns. Attention, please. For the remainder of the review, no one will be permitted to pass in front of the review stand. And we ask this as a courtesy to our viewing officer. Photography is certainly encouraged, but we ask that you remain seated and off the drill deck. Photographers will see on deck throughout the review. Are the official photographers of Recruit Training Command, Division Commanders, left or right, face, parade, rest. Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. I will tell you those Recruit Training Command drill division also. I would like to welcome you to today's passing review. Today, you see 10 divisions comprised of 820 sailors participating in the graduate ceremony and soon joined the most powerful Navy Award. Please draw your attention to the unit division at Senate Ed. There is the review commander and staff. The review commander is responsible for conducting the graduation ceremony. Today's review commander is Seaman Frut Capua de Moret from Coppers Cove, Texas. Let's give him a hand, folks. For him today is the staff unit on their eighth week of training, the triple correct unit on the ninth week of training, and the state flag unit on the 10th and final week of training. These units are comprised entirely of recruits. During the night of the run, recruits are placed in divisions of 88 personnel and assigned division commanders. Recruit Division Commanders form a battle of recruit training and are key individuals in the life of every recruiter. Division Commanders will serve as counselors, disciplinators, administrators, and military leaders. Above all, they must show themselves as an outstanding example of military bearing, appearance, attitude, and behavior. Each division also has a crew chief pediatrist, the senior recruits supervise the divisional staff positions and leads the division in the absence of their division commanders. Now, ladies and gentlemen, it's my pleasure to introduce you to the graduating divisions that division commanders can recruit chief pediatrists. As the engineers meet division, they will raise the competitive flags they have earned throughout their training. As the engineers teach recruit chief pediatrists, the flag they're receiving at home state will also be placed. Please hold your applause until all introductions have been completed.

Embracing challenges in adversity, their growth brings us joy and gives us strength, especially for our shared way of life. We're proud of their hard work over the past weeks and months. For those who shaped them in defying the equipped smart discipline sailors, to those RDCs, instructors, staff, may they receive a blessing this day, to the families, the mentors, coaches, who shared the mod and supported them, may they experience a deep measure of gratitude and pride at this moment.

These flags are carried as a physical symbol of the division's success. Each flag indicates that your sailors, individually and as teams, met performance standards in one or more missionaries. A division that excels in every phase of training qualifies for the battle efficiency honor division recognition, and is awarded the battle honor flag for this exemplary achievement.

Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in a work and recruit training command welcome to the honorable Gilbert R. Cisneros, junior. Good morning, everyone. I want to especially thank the families that are here. But I really want to talk to all our new sailors that are here today on this momentous day. 33 years ago, I was standing right where you are right now. In a different location, I actually did boot camp down to San Diego, which is no longer here. But what is going through my mind right now, I was nervous and excited. I'm sure you are feeling those same emotions. But this is a momentous occasion for you. When I look back on this, you are both all better trained, better prepared to join the fleet than I ever was when I joined and got out of boot camp all those years ago. So you should all be very proud of what you accomplished and what you achieved during these past 10 weeks. I know for a lot of you, they told you it was only going to be eight. You got a surprise when you got here and they said, I'm staying for an extra two weeks. But you all made it through. So as the undersecretary of personnel readiness, I am responsible for a lot of policy that deals with our families, our service members, and our civilians. But I'm also in charge of the readiness, making sure that our services, all of them, are ready to fight today and into going into the future. So your training is a big part of this. And what you have accomplished is just amazing. As I leave you here today, just a few words of advice. Learn your job when you get out there. Learn how to do your job. Learn how to do a well. Listen to your LBOs. Listen to your chiefs, because they have a lot of experience and they can teach you. But also, be proud of the work that you do. Be proud of your ship, be proud of your shipmates, and just be proud of your nation. You are all going to go out there and do great things. I owe everything I have to the Navy. It provided me with my education. It provided me with the leadership experience I have. And I look back on my time that I serve very fondly. And I know you all do the same one day. So good luck to you. Farewell to the following seas. And I wish you the best of luck. Thank you. And you'll be joined on the drill deck by our commanding officer, Captain Sandin. Please remain seated until your graduates have been placed on liberty. Please join me in one more round of appreciation for our wonderful musicians of the Navy Band, Great Lakes, Flags, Posts, Section Reviews. Fall out and retrieve outer garments. And everyone of you for joining us on this most memorable of Navy Days, please utilize all safety rails and exit in an orderly fashion. And without further delay, now hear this. Liberty call, Liberty call.
