The truly best part about the #ArmyNavy game is meeting @NavalAcademy midshipmen. @DepSecDef and I spoke with some of the top performers, and I could not be more proud of these future @USNavy and @USMC officers!
While we didn’t win the #ArmyNavy game, the @USNavy & @USMC scored 20 new Sailor & Marine Recruits — thank you for choosing to serve our Nation!
I am proud of the talent & skill that our shipyard & industry partners invest into a mighty warship like the future USS Bougainville. These ships make our @USNavy & @USMC a potent fighting team, forward-postured across the globe, ready to respond to crisis & disaster.
HII’s #IngallsShipbuilding division christened the Navy’s third America-class amphibious assault ship Bougainville (LHA 8) today.
Congratulations, shipbuilders!

Impressive visit hosted by @RealNCIS at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center - it was a pleasure to meet some of our Special Agents and see firsthand how they put PEOPLE FIRST, MISSION ALWAYS.
🔍 Under Secretary Erik Raven was @RealNCIS Special Agent Basic Training graduation today! 🎓 #NCIS training academy maximizes readiness, covering everything from handcuffing to cyber tactics. Proud to showcase how we prioritize PEOPLE FIRST, MISSION ALWAYS! 🦅 #TrainingDay
Class 2304, you distinguished yourselves in several extraordinary ways. Unlike other law enforcement agencies, you learned how to carry out your duties not only ashore in the U.S., but aboard @USNavy ships, with @USMC & duty stations all over the globe. Welcome to @RealNCIS team!
