 The unique characteristics and skills of each sailor add value to our Navy. Personnel with diverse experiences, ideas, capabilities, and talents can maximize our ability to adapt to new challenges and opportunities. Chief of Naval Personnel, Vice Admiral Bill Moran explains why diversity is important to the Navy. Well, diversity is important to everybody, including the Navy. But if you walk around the fleet like I do a lot, all you got to do is look out in the crowd and you see representation of the entire country. And the value of that to our business and our Navy is the experiences, the backgrounds, how you were raised, which parts of the country, in many cases different parts of the world. Young men and women join our service and give us different perspectives, different ideas, and they help us innovate. To see what other commands are doing to celebrate diversity, visit navy.mil.
