Good morning. Welcome to today’s graduation ceremony. I’m sure all of you have been dreaming of this day for a while, and it’s finally here today. I will have the honor and privilege to commission all of you and celebrate your achievements of being the 78 newest instance in the United States Navy. But first, let me give you one last piece of mentorship and it’s about trust. The professional naval officers, much like the medical law profession, requires members to take an oath. Just a few minutes, the OTC staff and I will bear witness as you raise your right hand and swear a sacred oath to support and defend the Constitution. This oath carries farm or obligations and privileges. It carries the obligation to serve in the most trusted institution of America. According to Gallup polls that stretched back more than a decade, the American people trust the military more than any other institution, a list that includes the Supreme Court, Congress, organized religion, police, public schools, our medical system and our criminal justice system. It is up to you to maintain this trust, as George Washington once stated in an address to the officers of the Virginia Regiment. Remember that it is the actions and not the commission that make the officer, and that there is mawr expected from him than the title. As an officer, you will lead and mentor what is truly one of our most valuable national assets. He enlisted men and women of our Navy. The American people are trusting you, trusting you to care for and lead them in defending our Constitution. I challenge you to maintain and build upon the American people’s trust through your actions. As a naval officer, I am extremely proud of the effort you expended over the last couple of months, particularly during this pandemic. I know it has been challenging and I applaud all of you for having the grip to stick with it until the end. You will need this grit with various leadership challenge you will encounter in the fleet. I wish all the best of luck and remember toe lead from the front. It is my pleasure to introduce.
