 Shipmates, CMP John Nowell here, and there's something really important that I want to talk to you about. Last week at a conference, Secretary Harker, Secretary of the Navy, asked senior leaders in the Navy to share their stories about shipmates who needed to ask for counseling perhaps themselves or their experiences positive and negative with respect to suicide, and you know that we have far too many shipmates that are afraid to ask for help, perhaps you as well as suicides. And so I decided that I would share my personal story. 28 years ago, I lost my sister Mary to suicide. She was wonderful. We were both in our early 30s. I was ops on Arleigh Burke. She was the youngest marketing director for the Ladies Professional Golf Association. By any measure, Mary Nowell was someone that you wanted to be. If she'd had Facebook or Instagram or Twitter today, she would have been one of those people that you said, wow, that's the life I want to have. Look how great her life is. And you know, as it turned out, Mary was working through issues that she didn't share with me, didn't share with her friends, and we had a rocky childhood. I thought that we'd worked our way through that and we were in a good place, and you know, Mary was having problems, and she had gotten help, but she hadn't shared it with her supporting network, and so we weren't there to help her. So frankly, when I got that call on a Saturday morning, two weeks before deployment, I was devastated. I was stunned. I was surprised. I couldn't believe it. The family couldn't believe it. Every day for the last 28 years, I think of Mary. I think about what I could have done. I asked myself that, and so here's what I'm asking you to do. If you feel like you need help, then please ask for it. It will not end your career. People are there. They want to support you. Your shipmates, your family will be there for you, but we need you to let us know. And if you are a shipmate who thinks that another shipmate needs some help, I need you to reach out and take action. I don't want any of you to be Mary, and I don't want you to be me.
