Transcript
Good morning and welcome to Recruit Training Command and today’s graduation. We are very excited to have all the family and friends of our sailors, both here and online, because you are about to watch the formal transition from recruits to full fledged sailors in the world’s greatest and most powerful navy. As we honor the accomplishments of America’s best and brightest, we must also honor the family and friends of these new sailors. Without you and your steadfast support and devotion, this day would not be possible. Throughout our nation’s history, the secret to our military success has always been the military families that stand the watch at home and support their sailors. The Department of the Navy has made the determination that the men and women graduating today have what it takes, and that is thanks to you, so on behalf of the United States Navy, thank you for the support and care you provide. This celebration is not just for the graduates, but for you as well. Take special pride in what your sailor has accomplished and the tremendous journey they are about to embark on. They are our future. Thank you again for your support and all you do to keep America safe and strong. Enjoy this ceremony. It gives me distinct pleasure to welcome you to our Navy family.

Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. I’m Lieutenant Jessica Hall, Recruit Training Command’s curriculum instruction and evaluation division officer. I would like to welcome you to today’s pass and review. Today, you will see 15 divisions comprised of 980 sailors participate in their graduation ceremony, and soon join the most powerful Navy in the world. Please draw your attention to the unit positioned at center deck. There is the review commander and staff. The review commander is responsible for conducting the graduation ceremony. Today’s review commander is Fireman Nicholas (mumbling) from Miami Shores, Florida. Let’s give him a hand, folks. (audience applauding) Performing today is the triple threat unit on their sixth week of training, state flags unit on their seventh week of training, and staff unit on their eighth and final week of training. These units are comprised entirely of recruits. During their night of arrival, all recruits are placed into divisions of 88 personnel and assigned their division commanders. Recruit division commanders form the backbone of recruit training and are the key individuals in the life of every recruit. Division commanders must serve as counselors, disciplinarians, administrators, and military leaders. Above all, they must show themselves as outstanding examples of military bearing, appearance, attitude, and behavior. Each division also has a recruit chief petty officer. This is the senior recruit who supervises the divisional staff positions and leads the division in the absence of their division commanders. Now, ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce the graduating divisions, their division commanders, and recruit chief petty officers. As I introduce each division, they will raise the competitive flags that they have earned throughout their training. As I introduce each recruit chief petty officer, the flag representing their home state will also be raised. Please hold your applause until all introductions have been completed. I will be starting from their right. Division 307.

Let us pray. Father, we come before you today to give you thanks for the great accomplishment of our newest sailors. We thank you for the successful completion of boot camp here at Recruit Training Command. We thank you for the family and friends that are here today who have forged their lives in the past, and we thank you for the RDCs, instructors, facilitators, and staff that have forged their lives these last eight weeks. These sailors have been tested and tried, yet through the pressure, they’ve been transformed into diamonds, into warriors who are always ready to defend freedom and democracy around the world. So as our newest sailors go forth to be forged by the sea, Father, grant to them protection and the spiritual anchors of faith, hope, and love, and may their lives always reflect our core values and core attributes in everything they do. These sailors stand here today with an awesome responsibility on their shoulders. Future freedom is dependent upon them. They have a great responsibility to their families, to those who served before them, the Constitution they swore to defend, their leadership, the country, to the world, and to future generations, and we pray that they would not fall to the weight that is on them, but they would rise to the task that is before them, and we pray that they would be men and women of character, competent and tough, able to perform under pressure and always ready to get the mission accomplished as they defend freedom. And so we thank we for the blessings that you have given us, and may we continue to be a beacon of light and a beacon of hope to the world. We ask your blessings on each one that is here today, all who serve in these United States of America, amen.
[All] Amen. (gentle instrumental music) Eternal father, strong to save Whose arm hath bound the restless wave Who biddest the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep Oh, hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea Amen, amen
