 Greetings shipmates, I'm Vice Admiral John Mustin, the Commander of the Navy Reserve Force and the Chief of the Navy Reserve. I'm at the International Sea Power Symposium in Newport, Rhode Island, and behind me you can see some of the over 100 nations that have gathered either in person or virtually to attend this year's event. It's pretty spectacular, but I'm mostly impressed by the fact that we've got over 130 cell res participants who are helping us run the show with logistics and overall support. What makes me thrilled, however, is not just that there's so many, but they're coming from everywhere. We've got folks from Schenectady to San Diego, coming from Anchorage, Alaska, all the way to West Palm Beach, and I'm thrilled to be here with them and I'm proud of the work that you're doing every day. Thanks very much, keep up the great work out there. Now let's get busy.
