THE XO I arrived here in January 1984, when this year's seniors were freshmen. A51 scraped the ice from my windshield, l thought of the beautiful Hawaiian beaches that I had just left, and wondered if I had made the right choice by coming here, Looking back, I'm certain that I did. Having had the opportunity to watch such fine people, as you all are, grow into officers of the Navy and Marine Corps was indeed worth it. It has been an interesting, exciting, and rewarding tour. l leave the job and i retire from the Marine Corps, envious of you, as you start your carrers. Good Luck. I will remember each of You.
