America’s Navy truly is A Global Force For Good, where men and women of every cultural background proudly take the lead, bringing their different skills, backgrounds and talents to bear every day, creating an environment of excellence. We believe embracing diversity is vital to both our present and future as a military organization and as a nation. Our commitment is to do our absolute best to make sure every young man or woman who hears the call is welcomed into a family they will proudly call their own for the rest of their lives – a family that exists like no other on land, at sea or in the air.
