 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Tony Rosa. U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander Admiral Harry Harris Jr. has been nominated to lead U.S. Pacific Command. As a Fleet Commander, Harris understands how a fiscal budget can impact the fleet. We were sequestered in 2013 and we're still coming out of the burden to our maintenance of ships and aircraft in our training of personnel, particularly our pilots. If we wait until 21, I think it'll be too late. I believe by then we'll be down to maybe 250 ships. He also emphasized the importance of a forward naval presence. Forward presence matters. And having forces, whether they're, in my case today, naval forces or if confirmed, the Joint Force, they're in the Western Pacific matters. It matters on a fundamental level. Harris must be confirmed by the Senate before he can succeed the current head of PAYCOM.
