Yesterday I visited Blount Island Command Marines, @NS_Mayport Sailors, and their families. There is no greater privilege than to serve beside these warfighters in defense of the homeland.

Speaking with the Aviation Maintenance Master Chief mess alongside CNAF and CNAL at @nas_oceana and addressing Navy, civic, and business leaders at @HRVA_Alliance's Ironclad Summit were two phenomenal opportunities to discuss two of my Lines of Effort: taking care of Sailors and expanding the maritime industrial base.

Talk about a fine Navy day! Today, the Honorable Michael P. Duffey, Undersecretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment, and I welcomed home and presented the Presidential Unit Citation to USS McFaul after 332 days at sea, celebrated our $1.7 billion unaccompanied housing Hunt contract closure with Hampton Roads civic leaders, spent time with Norfolk Public School students at a @NAV_STA_NORFOLK STEM day, and had lunch with USS San Antonio warriors.

This morning, I joined @USNavyCNO, @NavyMCPON, and other Sailors in the Pentagon's Hall of Heroes to celebrate our Navy's 251st birthday and honor the generations of @USNavy Sailors that have stood our continuous watch.

Our ultimate strategic advantage is not our equipment. It is our people.
This was the key point I stressed during my recent visit to Navy Personnel Command as I spoke with newly pinned Chiefs and senior leadership.
The future of our Navy is in good hands!

Never Forget.
Rebuilding American maritime power requires greater shipbuilding capacity. Full stop, no workarounds, no excuses.
Today, we visited @PhillyShipyard with Sen. Chris Coons and Sen. McCormick’s staff to discuss opportunities to expand domestic shipbuilding, strengthen our workforce, and get more hulls in the water. Let’s go!

Sustaining the Navy’s shore installation enterprise with nuclear power one step at a time! @CNICHQ
Honored to toss the coin for the first @NavyFB game of the season! Our Midshipmen hit the field with ferocity and carried that energy all the way to victory—42-15!
Go Navy!
Kicked off my Class of ’96 reunion weekend at the @NavalAcademy alongside @SpeakerJohnson and @usnasupe. It was an honor to serve as reviewing official and watch the future leaders of the Fleet and Force march onto the field.
Our Navy and Marine Corps are in great hands with these Midshipmen. Go Navy!

Serving side by side in the Pacific to ensure peace through strength. Our rotational forces support maritime and aviation missions and enhance interoperability.

Over 2,600 Sailors and Marines are deployed aboard USS Boxer (LHD 4) as the amphibious assault ship operates in the Middle East. Here's an inside look. 👇
Discipline shows in the details.
@USMC recruits at Parris Island, S.C. put their precision and coordination to the test during Final Drill.
Today at Camp LeJeune, @USMCSgtMaj, @CMC_MarineCorps, @Dakota_Meyer, Pastor Peters and I spoke with Marines about an important topic that we must directly address: Suicide.
For too long, we’ve ignored proven intervention strategies and instead relied on compulsory training sessions. That’s going to change.
Today, I am reaffirming my commitment to the Suicide Prevention and Response Task Force that was launched back in February to singularly focus on how the Department of the Navy can best provide the support our Sailors and Marines deserve.
Taking care of our people is more than a priority - it is a responsibility.

Couldn’t have said it better myself, @RickyBuria.
Being able to witness the discipline of these Marines is always inspiring. On the grounds of Marine Barracks Washington, the legacy of the Corps is more tangible. You can feel the generations of Americans who’ve manned this post.
Thanks for joining us for the evening and your steadfast support of our @USMC.

I was honored to attend the Marine Barracks Washington Evening Parade with my family as a guest of honor alongside The Honorable Dan Scavino and his wife Erin.
As a proud Marine, it was meaningful to witness the precision, discipline, and warrior spirit on full display. The traditions of the “Oldest Post” are a powerful reflection of the heritage, excellence, and fighting spirit of the United States Marine Corps.
The event was hosted by Maj. Gen. Hoffman and we were honored by the presence of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Attorney General Todd Blanche, NASA Administrator Jared Issacman, Commandant of the Marine Corps General Eric Smith, and SgtMaj of the Marine Corps Carlos Ruiz.
Semper Fidelis. 🇺🇸

The professionalism, precision, and pride of the @USMC was on full display this week at Marine Barracks Washington. Since 1801, the Marines of 8th & I have upheld our Nation’s most sacred responsibilities with the discipline that defines every Marine.
During a special Evening Parade, I had the privilege of joining @DanScavino, @RickyBuria and several government leaders to witness the historic performance while paying our respects to America’s warfighters.
Semper Fi.

It is disturbing that some military members think they can leverage foreign laws by moving their families overseas, only to divorce their spouses and abandon them with no means to return to the US.
This will not become a trend on my watch. My top priority is to take care of our Sailor and Marines and that includes their families.

Great speaking at the @PotomacOfficers Club today on building the Golden Fleet.
Our message to industry is simple: if you can compete, perform, and scale—you have a place at the table. The Department of the Navy is open for business.
