 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer James Stilpeck. The Navy prides itself in the diverse sailors and marines who serve around the world. The Language, Regional Expertise and Culture, or LREC program, maximizes our capability to maintain the Navy's global mission. The Center for LREC Office provides online and resident training, as well as several other learning resources for sailors and marines. These courses provide students with the cross-cultural skills needed to enhance relationships with our global partners. LREC can also ease the transition to a new location by helping sailors and marines learn about the new region and culture. Sailors can also access a large library of language skills courses, covering everything from Arabic to Zulu, to aid in communicating with our partners around the world. Visit the Navy Personnel Command website and look under Career Info for more information about the LREC program and other learning resources.
