 Hello shipmates. As I assume the duties of McPawn, I wanted to thank my predecessor McPawn Rick West for the unwavering commitment and leadership he provided to our sailors and navy during his nearly 32 years of service. He's been a mentor and a friend and I wish him and his wife Bobby all the best. I've been asked what are my expectations as the McPawn? The answer is simple. I expect sailors to work hard, stay out of trouble and be a good and decent person, both in and out of uniform by practicing good order and discipline, adhering to our core values and treating one another with respect. I believe those expectations represent who we are as sailors and the large majority are already living up to them. I look forward to working together and continuing to make our navy the greatest navy in the world. Thank you for your service. I'll see you in the fleet.
