    Commander, Navy Installations Command, Vice Adm. William D. French (right), awards the Deputy Commandant and Chief of Staff of Naval District Washington (NDW), Navy Capt. Richard W. Kitchens, the Legion of Merit at his retirement ceremony at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) on March 7, 2014. The two were surrounded by members of the Navy's Ceremonial Guard, the Navy Band, military and civilian members and well-wishers. Kitchens' selection of JBAB to host his retirement ceremony was noteworthy, as he served as the first commander of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, leading the base to earning the 2011 Commander-in-Chief's Award for Installation Excellence as the Navy's top base. JBAB Commander, Navy Capt. Anthony T. Calandra, will assume the role as NDW deputy commandant and chief of staff, following his change of command ceremony on March 20, 2014, on the Air Force Ceremonial Lawn at JBAB. Calandra will be relieved by Navy Capt. Frank Mays, Jr. as JBAB's commander. Kitchens, a native of Jacksonville, Fla., served in the NDW post since June 2012. Kitchens joined the Navy in 1983 and served in various duty assignments in submarines, afloat and ashore. (U.S. Navy photo by Lt. Cmdr. Jim Remington/Released)
