- Mission Statement: The Department of the Navy will recruit, train, equip, and organize to deliver combat ready Naval forces to win conflicts and wars while maintaining security and deterrence through sustained forward presence.
- Vision: We are an integrated Naval force that will provide maritime dominance for the Nation.
- Origin: It is obvious that the U.S Navy was created from the birth of our country to help protect our oceanic borders as well as aid our Army forces across the seas.

Besides those qualification, I have everything I need to set myself on this path to military leadership.
