 Shipmates, C&O Gilday here. People are, if out of doubt, our Navy's asymmetric advantage. And today's sailors are the best and the brightest that we've ever had. You are our innovators, you're tenacious, you're driven, and most importantly, you're men and you're women of character. I'm honored today to recognize the Navy's 2019 Sailors of the Year. These four sailors represent the very best of our Navy, and they epitomize our core values of honor, courage, and commitment. So, congratulations to Chief Aviation Structural Mechanic, Carolina Berio, U.S. Fleet Forces, Sailor of the Year, Chief Aviation Ordinanceman, Jason Webley, U.S. Pacific Fleet, Sea Sailor of the Year, Chief Aviation Ordinanceman, Kimber Nominguez, Navy Shore, Sailor of the Year, and Chief Naval Air Crewman Mechanical, Amanda Alcantar, Navy Reserve Sailor of the Year. I could not be more proud to have you leading our Navy now as Chief Petty Officers. Welcome to the mess and anchors up. Thank you for your hard work and for your commitment to excellence. Also, a special thanks to your families and to your shipmates who supported you all along this long journey. Congratulations again, shipmates, and I'll see you in the fleet.
