MSTCLANT had the honor of hosting Naval Officers and military personnel from Mexico for a tour of our schoolhouse and ship handling simulators!

It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the training capabilities we provide every day and to strengthen the partnership between our two nations. From our state-of-the-art simulation technology to the dedicated instructors behind it, we were proud to give our international guests a firsthand look at what MSTCLANT has to offer.

Thank you to our distinguished visitors from Mexico and to our team for putting on an outstanding demonstration.

Special thanks to Navy Public Affairs Command and MC3 Licona for your support!

🎓⚓️Future Officers Aboard!

MSTCLANT was proud to welcome students from the George Washington University NROTC for an exclusive visit to our facility! Our team had the pleasure of giving them a full tour and putting them behind the controls in our state-of-the-art ship handling simulators.

Experiences like these help bridge the gap between the classroom and the fleet - giving tomorrow's naval officers a firsthand look at the skills and training that keep our Navy sharp.

We are honored to invest in the next generation of leaders. Fair winds and following seas, future Officers! 🇺🇸

On April 1, 1893, the rank of Chief Petty Officer was established — a symbol of pride, expertise, and leadership that has stood the test of time.

For 133 years, Chiefs have been the backbone of the United States Navy — bridging the gap between the deckplates and the wardroom, mentoring junior Sailors, and leading with Honor, Courage, and Commitment. They are technical experts, trusted advisors, and the steady hand that keeps our Navy ready to fight and win.

To every Chief, Senior Chief, and Master Chief — fair winds and following seas. Your legacy is the foundation our Navy is built on.

Happy Birthday, Chiefs!
