Recently, Navy Supply Corps School had the honor of welcoming Rear Admiral Milton W. Troy III, Director, Fleet Ordnance and Supply (N41) and Fleet Supply Officer, U.S. Fleet Forces Command, for a professional development session with students of BSOC 2nd Battalion and BQC-NR 109th Company.

During the session, RDML Troy spoke on the importance of creativity within logistics, encouraging students to think outside the box while remaining grounded in law, policy, and professional standards. He also emphasized the responsibility each Supply Corps officer has in upholding the reputation of the Navy Supply Corps through competence, integrity, and continued excellence.

RDML Troy challenged students to “bloom where you are planted,” reminding them not to become overly focused on a narrow career path, but instead to gain experience, develop skillsets, and grow from each assignment they are given. He also highlighted the importance of mentorship, encouraging students to seek out mentors while also becoming mentors to others.

As RDML Troy prepares to serve as guest speaker for the upcoming graduation of BSOC 2nd Battalion and BQC-NR 109th Company, his words offered timely perspective and motivation for students preparing to take the next step in their careers. With each lesson, each mentor, and each opportunity to grow, these future Supply Corps officers move closer to the fleet, ready to bring creativity, professionalism, and purpose to the Navy’s logistics mission.

Recently, the Navy Supply Corps School had the honor of hosting Vice Admiral Dion English, Director of Logistics, J4, Joint Staff.

As a three-star Flag Officer and the highest-ranking Supply Corps Officer, VADM English brought a wealth of operational and strategic experience to future Navy Supply Corps officers. Students from the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Basic Supply Officer Course, along with the Basic Qualification Course-Navy Reserve 109th Company, had the opportunity to hear his perspective on leadership, logistics, and the future of the Supply Corps.

During his address, VADM English spoke on the importance of resilient supply chains, integrating Reserve Sailors into the team, and the growing role of artificial intelligence within Navy logistics. During the question-and-answer portion, he shared professional examples of risk management, the importance of knowing when to say “no,” and the responsibility to continue working toward “yes.”

VADM English also emphasized the value of positive influence at every level, noting the impact of senior leaders, peers, and subordinates throughout his career.

At NSCS, opportunities like these connect students directly with the leaders shaping the future of Navy logistics. Through mentorship, critical discussion, and exposure to the strategic challenges facing the fleet, our students continue building the confidence, perspective, and warfighting mindset needed to lead from day one.

A New Chapter at Navy Supply Corps School

The Navy Supply Corps School began a new chapter today as one distinguished leader passed the reins to another during a meaningful Change of Command ceremony.

Please join us in welcoming the new NSCS Commanding Officer, CAPT Dena B. Risley! CAPT Risley, who previously served as Director, Supply Corps Personnel, comes to the schoolhouse with a seabag full of distinguished career experience, both at sea and ashore, and is eager to lead NSCS toward continued excellence and success. Welcome, CAPT Risley and Mr. Rees Risley!

Fair Winds and Following Seas to NSCS’s departing Commanding Officer, CAPT T. “Richie” Jenkins. During his tenure, CAPT Jenkins fostered the advancement and adaptation of core schoolhouse curriculum, emphasizing the essential role Supply Officers play in meeting today’s increasingly contested logistics environment. Through his mentorship, the students who have walked these halls, graduated, and shipped out to the Fleet continue to help make the U.S. Navy a formidable force.

During the ceremony, CAPT Jenkins was awarded a second Legion of Merit for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding service, leading the most comprehensive course revision in decades. These revisions, focused on building adaptive and resilient leaders, produced 2,500 technically proficient graduates imbued with a deep warfighting ethos to excel in contested maritime operations. CAPT Jenkins and Taffy, your kind, authentic, and engaging presence will be greatly missed.

NSCS was honored to welcome Commander, Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) and of Supply Corps RADM Ken Epps as the keynote speaker. His remarks reminded all in attendance of the importance of strong leadership, embracing innovation, and meeting others where they are.

For this week’s Lore of the Corps, presented by ENS Biares, the Navy Supply Corps School recognizes CAPT Jenkins as he prepares to depart the command after a distinguished tour as Commanding Officer.

A native of Sweetwater, Tennessee, CAPT Jenkins graduated from the University of Tennessee and earned his commission through Officer Candidate School. He holds Master’s degrees in Business Administration and National Security and Strategic Studies, with executive education from Wharton and UNC Kenan-Flagler.

Throughout his career, CAPT Jenkins has served across the fleet and ashore. At sea, he served aboard USS Iwo Jima, USS Ronald Reagan, and USS Norfolk, bringing Supply Corps leadership to amphibious, aviation, and submarine communities. Ashore, his assignments include the Navy Supply Corps School, Submarine Squadron Eleven, NAVSUP, Special Operations Command Pacific, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

A Joint Qualified Officer and member of the Defense Acquisition Corps, CAPT Jenkins is qualified across aviation, surface, and submarine supply communities. His career reflects operational versatility, strategic thinking, technical expertise, and a deep commitment to developing people.

His example shows future Supply Officers how sustained excellence, adaptability, and mentorship strengthen both the fleet and the Supply Corps community.

For this week’s Lore of the Corps, presented by ENS Drexel, we recognize Rear Admiral Worrall Reed Carter, a pioneer of mobile logistics whose work helped reshape how the Navy sustained combat power at sea.

Born on 11 January 1885 aboard the sailing ship Storm King while his family was crossing the Pacific Ocean, RADM Carter’s life began at sea. He later attended the United States Naval Academy, graduating with the Class of 1908, and continued his education in mechanical engineering at the Naval Postgraduate School and Columbia University, where he earned a Master of Science degree.

Throughout his career, RADM Carter built a reputation for disciplined leadership, financial management, and a deep understanding of logistics as an operational necessity. As the Navy grew in size and reach, he became one of its foremost experts in fleet sustainment and supply operations.

His most significant contribution came during World War II, when he organized and commanded Service Squadron Ten, the Navy’s first large-scale mobile logistics force in the Pacific Theater. Under his leadership, Service Squadron Ten delivered fuel, ammunition, provisions, repair support, and maintenance capabilities to forward-deployed fleet units operating thousands of miles from established bases. This allowed U.S. naval forces to remain on station, sustain offensive operations, and project power across the Pacific.

For his wartime service, RADM Carter received the Navy Distinguished Service Medal and the Legion of Merit. After the war, he preserved the lessons of fleet logistics afloat in his book Beans, Bullets, and Black Oil, which remains an important reference in naval logistics and professional military education.

RADM Carter retired from active duty in 1947, leaving behind a legacy of innovation, professionalism, and strategic foresight. His example continues to show that readiness, reach, and combat power all depend on logistics.

Recently, Basic Supply Officer Course (BSOC) students completed their Level of Knowledge (LOK) boards, marking the conclusion of the Foundations Phase of training at the Navy Supply Corps School.

Conducted by NSCS staff, LOK boards test junior Supply Officers on their basic knowledge and understanding of the U.S. Navy, including leadership structure, administrative organization, numbered fleets, areas of responsibility, and types of warfare. Just as importantly, the boards evaluate how students carry themselves in a formal setting, reinforcing the mannerisms, confidence, and professionalism expected of naval officers.

For future Supply Officers, this milestone is more than a test of facts. It is an opportunity to demonstrate readiness, communicate clearly, and show the presence required to lead Sailors in the fleet.

Each board brings students one step closer to becoming the fleet-focused logisticians their future commands will rely on.
