I’m Rear Admiral Jean Price, Commander of the office of Naval Intelligence in Washington, D. C. It’s an honor to welcome you to the fleet. Eight weeks of boot camp were challenging, even grueling. But you are now prepared to join the men and women in the world’s most powerful and most significant maritime force. The United States Navy, You’ve joined us at a crucial time in history. The United States faces multiple challenges to the rule of law upon which our nation, our allies and the world at large depend. The balance of power across the seas could be significantly altered in the coming years. New technologies make these challenges significantly more complex. We’ll be relying on you to stand for freedom and our nation’s values as leaders, patriots and as guardians of the seas. Just as you face challenges and earn triumphs and boot camp, you will now be faced with even bigger challenges. But we will train you to prevail. You may be the difference and our nation of what we need to meet these challenges. So do not slow down in what you learn. We need you now more than ever to keep America safe mothers, fathers, spouses, brothers, sisters, significant others, friends of these graduates. I wish you could be here to see the ones you love graduate. But when they do return to you and you run your fingers through their hair check to see if they’ve lost weight because I know my mom did, whether you’re in the plains of Nebraska or the Dakotas, the mountains of colorado or California or simply the knobs of southern indiana, you’re going to notice something about them has changed. They’ll stand a little taller. Their backs would be a little straighter. They’ll look you in the eye and you’ll know they’re ready for the life before them. You helped get our newest sailors through one of the most challenging times of their lives. Thank you for that and thanks even more for raising a patriot. So sailors, you’ve worked hard to get to this point. Congratulations. Welcome to the fleet. Let us pray God of Grace, almighty and sovereign in the midst of unprecedented and unpredictable times. I give thanks for the grace bestowed upon all of these newest sailors of the fleet as they have met the mark, overcome their challenges and have crossed this finish line together as they reflect on their time here at recruit training, command their trials, their joys, friendships, made mentors gained. God, I pray renew their commitment, strengthen their resolve, fortify their determination. I pray God that one victory, One success would produce many more to come in the lives of these sailors as they go forth to further training and ultimately to their commands. God go with him, grant them wisdom and guidance to navigate the path ahead. Honor, remembering the privilege they have to serve our nation, courage and integrity to always do that. Which is right even in the face of fear, commitment above all else to ship and shipmate God instill in them a never ending respect and pride for the naval heritage they now carry and represent maybe now and forever be a United States sailor. These things, I pray in your most holy name I’m in
