It was an honor to host Rear Admiral Gregory Huffman, Commander, Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), at CENSECFOR HQ! He saw our commitment to creating operationally ready warfighters firsthand, from recognizing YN2 Ong as Junior Sailor of the Quarter and HM1 Frabotta for his hard work, to taking a ride in a prime mover. His tour of the boathouse showcased our integrated training model, where classroom learning translates directly to hands-on skills on the water, building the sharpest warfighters for the Fleet.
