Navy Inspector General arriving. Ladies and gentlemen, Chaplain Subfin will now offer us the invocation. Eternal Father, we come to you in prayer as our first and highest duty, offering our grateful praise for your abundant goodness. Make us aware of your presence and be known among us as the author of strength, mercy and joy. The character of class 0620 has been established through suffering and toil. They have been tested and found worthy. May this be no transitory state. May they be known while they serve throughout their lives and long after for their consummate integrity. What they have gained in knowledge and physical strength match for them now in spiritual will to accomplish far greater things in service to the fleet, the nation and the world. And may they always recall fondly their formative moments on these grounds. Bless each member of this class team by the measure of what they have generously given. Let them be encouraged by the continued success of these new incidences. Guide us to honor those united in applause today and the many more they represent who were active in the course of events that led to this celebration. Faithfully, we offer these prayers to you, O God, our refuge and shield. Bless those who go forth to stand the watch. May all here gathered find ourselves daily restored, confirmed, strengthened and established by your mighty hand and your holy name. Amen. Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. Ladies and gentlemen, Captain Mark Nicholson, commanding officer of officer training command Newport. Vice Admiral Snyder, captains, colonels, distinguished guests, family members and friends, most importantly soon to be commission ensigns of class 0620. Good morning. Good morning, sir. Welcome to Newport and this morning's graduation ceremony. I'd like to start off by formally thanking and recognizing the members of Navy Band Northeast. Your patriotic music inspires us all and I truly thank you all for being here this morning. Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in recognizing Navy Band Northeast. It's my sincere honor and privilege to be with all of you this morning, to recognize and celebrate the achievement of these 89 young men and women sitting in front of me. America's very best and brightest is their commission as the newest ensigns in the United States Navy. For the families, I want to thank you not only for making the long trip to be here this morning, but for the outstanding performance of your sons and daughters, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters. Your love and support have helped produce the quality individuals seated here and enabled our outstanding team of recruit division commanders, drill instructors and class officers to further develop them morally, mentally and physically until future leaders of character and confidence. On behalf of the Navy and on behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your efforts. For class 0620, the profession of naval officers, much like the medical law professions, requires its members to take an oath. A few minutes, your parents, spouses and loved ones, along with the OTC staff and myself will bear witness as you raise your right hand and swear a sacred oath to support and defend the Constitution. This oath carries far more obligations than privileges. Here is the obligation to serve in the most trusted institution in America. According to Gallup polls that stretch back for more than a decade, the American people trust the military more than any other institution. A list that includes Supreme Court, Congress, organized religion, police, public schools, our medical system and our criminal justice system. It is up to you to maintain this trust. As George Washington once stated in an address to the officers of the Virginia Regiment, remember that it is the actions and not the commission that make the officer, that there's more expected from him or her than the title. As an officer, you will lead and mentor what is truly one of our most valuable national assets, the enlisted men and women of our Navy. The American people are trusting you, trusting you to care for and lead them in defending our Constitution. I challenge you to maintain and build upon the American people's trust through your actions as a Naval officer. I'm extremely proud of the effort you've expended over the last couple of months. It's my pleasure and honor to welcome each and every single one of you into the war dream of the world's greatest Navy. I have another honor and privilege this morning, that of introducing our guest speaker, Vice Admiral Rick Snyder. This full bio can be found in your programs but I'll hit a few highlights. Admiral Snyder was commissioned via the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Tulane University with a degree in management. He holds a master's degree in operations research from the Naval Postgraduate School and is a career naval aviator. He's commanded at all levels, including helicopter, anti-submarine squadron light 46, HSL 40, USS Baton, and Expeditionary Strike Group II. Previously Vice Admiral Snyder was a director for strategy, plans and policy at US Northern Command and North American Airspace Defense Command. Currently he serves as the 41st Naval Inspector General where he's charged with inspecting, investigating, inquiring to any and all matters of importance to the Department of the Navy, maintaining the highest level of public confidence. Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming this morning's guest speaker, Vice Admiral Rick Snyder. Well, good morning. Aren't you guys gonna say it back? There we go. That's the highlight of coming here is to get to hear that. We get stuck up there in Washington dealing with our issues and the opportunity to come down and hear from these young men and women about to be ensigns is just a highlight. Also to be remiss in saying happy Valentine's Day. Hopefully that's not a surprise to anybody. And you remembered that beforehand, but what a great opportunity. And so thank you for letting me be here today and welcome everyone. It's an honor to be here recognizing the culmination of at least 12 weeks of dedication, hard work and accomplishments by these candidates soon to be the Navy's newest ensigns. So my bio gives it away, simple math reveal that almost 37 years ago, I sat figuratively where you are today embarking on what I thought would be a six or seven year stint in the Navy. Sometimes things don't turn out exactly as you planned. And those decades have been filled with meaning, challenges, rewards and adventures more so than I could ever have imagined. And so now it's your turn. I do want to start off with some thank yous, Captain Nicholson, the band as well, the OCS staff, the class officers, Lieutenant Storm and Lieutenant Balesford, the class chiefs, Chief Thompson and Chief Abel and the ever present Gunny Dogner. Thank you very much for your support of these men and women. I also want to thank the family and friends in the audience and most importantly you, the men and women who have chosen to serve our great nation and our great Navy. Make no mistake about it, you are commissioning into the greatest Navy in the world and you will be a vital part of making sure that never changes. So where were hazards and folks get nervous when the inspector general shows up? Don't be, unless you've done something wrong. As you heard the mission of the office of the naval inspector general is to inquire, investigate and inspect into all matters of importance to the department of the Navy. To that end, we're partners in war fighting readiness and war fighter quality of service. When I assumed this position, I had several folks tell me it would be unlike anything I'd ever done before and I believed him for about two weeks. Then I realized that the inspector general business of identifying standards, assessing performance of those standards, making changes to meet standards to ultimately make the Navy better is something I've done my entire career. And guess what? It's something you'll be doing as well as a successful leader in the Navy. How well you do IG business from day one of your career will be a measure of how well you do in the Navy. So welcome to the Navy Wardroom and welcome to the Navy IG team. The Chief of Naval Operations, Amal Gilday, recently provided a design for maintaining maritime superiority. In it, he directs our focus towards war fighting, war fighters and the future Navy. He tells us that mission one for every sailor is the operational readiness of today's Navy. So why should the Navy's newest ensigns pay attention to the Chief of Naval Operations' strategic guidance? Because you have a role in executing that design. War fighting, your very first mission after leaving here today is to become the very best in your warfare specialty. In doing so, you will directly strengthen our war fighting ability and increase our operational readiness. War fighters, our sailors are our asymmetric advantage. You are our asymmetric advantage. You and your sailors must embody our core values, honor, courage and commitment and our four core attributes, integrity, accountability, initiative and toughness. As a leader, you must set the example and these values and core attributes must guide your every action and every decision. The future Navy, you are the future Navy. The only thing certain about the future is uncertainty. There have been a lot of changes for the Navy since I first put on a uniform, but sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. 40 years ago, we were in great power competition with the Soviet Union, a potential adversary who could challenge us and our dominance at sea. We needed to be ready to take on a powerful adversary at sea anytime, anywhere. Then things changed, the Soviet Union fell, dictators threatened and invaded their neighbors, terrorists attacked our country and our focus as a Navy shifted to a different threat, a dangerous one, but not a great power and not one that could seriously challenge us on the seas. Well, great power competition is back and we must be ready again to take on an adversary at sea anytime and anywhere. Whatever it is that you've signed up to do for our Navy, each and every one of you must be a war fighter, our nation and our Navy are counting on you. So what's the key to success? Decades ago, I too had a commissioning speaker and to be honest with you, I couldn't tell you a word he said. So I'll make it easy for you. Remember just one word, care. Care about your sailors, care about yourself, care about your command, care about your mission, care about your family, care about the Navy and care about the nation. You're gonna make mistakes and it will be hard at times, but if you care, if you truly care, if you learn from your mistakes and move on, if you work hard and persevere, you will succeed. In a few minutes, you'll be taking an oath of office, as was mentioned. It's something almost none of your friends will ever do. And that oath is important because it's not to a person, to a place or to a thing. It's to an ideal. It's to the Constitution of the United States. And so as we raise our right hand and swear to protect and defend that Constitution, remember that obligation and privilege you've been given. And once again, thank you for the opportunity to be here today. Congratulations to each and every one of you. The graduating class will now receive the oath of office. Would all military personnel in uniform please come to the position of attention. Class 0620, raise your right hand. I state your full name. Having been appointed an ensign in the United States Navy, do hereby accept such appointment and do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely without reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I'm about to enter. So help me God. Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated.
