(mellow electronic music)

00:03.210 --> 00:05.240
- So behind me I have
some members of our crew,

00:05.240 --> 00:07.020
who are painting our anchor gold.

00:07.020 --> 00:08.750
And the reason they're
painting it gold is 'cause

00:08.750 --> 00:11.593
we recently earned the
Retention Excellence Award.

00:15.190 --> 00:18.030
Retention Excellence
Award recognizes the ship,

00:18.030 --> 00:21.070
whose able to retain the highest level

00:21.070 --> 00:22.460
as required by the Navy.

00:22.460 --> 00:25.453
We keep our sailors here and
that's recognition of that.

00:26.364 --> 00:29.864
(mellow electronic music)

00:52.000 --> 00:54.786
That's really a result of the people here

00:54.786 --> 00:56.270
that are surrounding me.

00:56.270 --> 00:58.070
I have the Command Mass Chief.

00:58.070 --> 00:59.210
I have Senior Chief Beard,

00:59.210 --> 01:01.040
who is our command career counselor,

01:01.040 --> 01:03.030
and he's the guy that really pushes us

01:03.030 --> 01:05.230
in the direction of retaining our folks

01:05.230 --> 01:08.870
and making sure that we are
pursuing them with success.

01:08.870 --> 01:09.980
And then of course,

01:09.980 --> 01:12.330
we have our Executive
Officer Captain Thoroman,

01:12.330 --> 01:15.710
who's the man who keeps all
the trains moving on the ship.

01:15.710 --> 01:17.180
So together,

01:17.180 --> 01:19.670
this team here, along with the crew,

01:19.670 --> 01:22.250
was able to deliver the recognition

01:22.250 --> 01:24.270
to build an anchor award.

01:24.270 --> 01:25.450
Ready now?

01:25.450 --> 01:26.844
- Ready always!
- Alright.
