Equal Opportunity as our former CNO saw it

MY DEFINITION OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY GOES FURTHER. BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT, AS A TEAM, WE ARE BETTER WHEN WE ALL PERFORM AT OUR BEST WE WANT TO HELP EVERYONE DO JUST THAT....BE AT THEIR BEST. THAT MEANS EQUAL ACCESS TO TRAINING, TO CHALLENGING WORK, TO ALL THE THINGS THAT LEAD TO SUCCESS.

RACE, RELIGION AND GENDER SIMPLY DO NOT ENTER INTO THE DISCUSSION.

THE KEY HERE IS THAT WE WANT EVERYONE, REPEAT, EVERYONE TO BE JUST AS GOOD AS THEY CAN BE AND WE WILL NOT LET ANYTHING GET IN THE WAY OF THAT GOAL. IF WE ALL SIGN UP TO THAT DEFINITION OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY OUR NAVY WILL CONTINUE TO GET BETTER AND BETTER AS OUR PEOPLE GROW AND SUCCEED.

THIS WILL BE THE STANDARD WHILE I AM CNO.
