Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman

Huge thanks to Brig. Gen. Palenske, Chief Hodgin & the Andersen AFB team for the warm welcome. Honored to present SEAC coins to #Airmen overcoming major challenges to keep the mission moving! Guam = U.S. NatSec in action. 🇺🇸 #JointForce #INDOPACOM @usairforce @DeptofDefense

Between recent engagements on Guam, we made time to reflect & honor those who came before us at the War in the Pacific National Historical Park. @nbguam @INDOPACOM @thejointstaff @NatlParkService #Military #History #NationalParks #WWII

#Guam is a US territory, so #Sentinels of USCG Forces Micronesia are there protecting lives, enforcing maritime laws, & securing vital waterways across the region. Always great when @DHSgov+@DeptofDefense work together in the noble #ProfessionOfArms! #CoastGuard #DoD #JointForce

Tropical weather is great for service members at @nbguam, but rough on barracks and family #housing. As these sailors work hard to accomplish the mission, CMC Lugo works hard to connect people & resources so they & their families are taken care of—as an NCO should! #military #QoL

I recently checked in with the Joint Region Marianas & JTF-Micronesia Commanders & Sr Enlisted to learn what our #warfighters require to defend the homeland from the US territory of #Guam! Though not a state, the residents are U.S. citizens & many serve in our #ArmedForces.

"It's important the Marine Corps and Navy have this capability. Having served with Maj. McClung, I am personally overwhelmed with emotion and my daily memory of her can now be shared with all. Be bold. Be Brief. Be Gone." -Retired USMC 1st Sgt. Stacie Black, spouse of SEAC #5

USS McClung is the name for the first ship in the new McClung-class of medium landing ships. navy.mil/Press-Office/N… | #McClung | #BeBoldBeBriefBeGone | #PAO | #Officer | #Military | #MilitaryHistory | @DeptofDefense | @thejointstaff | @USNavy | @USMC

The Joint Force’s readiness for fighting & winning our Nation’s wars depends on logistics! Monday at the DLA, most conversations came back to this: Effective Scope and Scale in Great Power Competition demands our logistics be agile, adaptive, & resilient. dla.dod.afpims.mil/About-DLA/News…

December 7, 1941 at 7:48 am Hawaiian time—Imperial Japan attacked Pear Harbor, killing 218 Soldiers, 2,008 Sailors, 109 Marines, 68 civilians, and wounding 1,178 others. Today, we honor the sacrifice of those who served. #NationalPearlHarborRemembranceDay
