I know that each one of you has been looking forward to getting out of the world of academia and into the world of work. As you depart the security of these hallowed grounds and enter the professional ranks of our Naval Service, there are some basic philosophies that I ask you to consider. Take full advantage of the opportunities presented you. Establish long range goals and then resolve that you will use each day to accomplish them. Many obstacles will seemingly be put in your way, but a positive approach and attitude will help you through even the toughest of times. For the young, ener etic, often impatient, Navy or Marine Corps Officer that 9 can be a tall order. You've often heard me speak of Nwisdomn and how those of us that are older than you are wiser simply because we have lived longer. It doesn't necessarily mean we are more intelligent, only that we have had to face and solve many of life's everyday challenges. We have learned that some things take longer than others and when achieved, the better for it. A wise Admiral once passed on to me three ingredients in order of importance that, if practiced, would lead to a success ful professional career. They are applicable to any profession or walk of life. Take them aboard. First - Care for your personal health. Without it you have nothing. Second - Develop true and lasting friends, for without them living is devoid of many of life's pleasures and often without purpose. Third - Know your job thoroughly Leach and every facet of ith and you will be a professional leader that juniors will respect and follow. As a Class, and as individuals, you have done well. As you leave Mr. Jefferson's University take with you a firm resolve to put into practice those honor concepts that have been so much a part of your student life. By so doing, you will be a credit to yourself, those of us you leave behind, this fine University, and the Naval Service of which you are a member. MaY You enjoy fair wi ot AN T R A. ARK, JR.
