201013-N-RG482-0009 BREMERTON, Wash. (Oct. 13, 2020) Hospitalman Chandler Mason, left, and Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Jennifer Stacey, both assigned to Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton, conduct morning colors Oct. 13, 2020, the 245th anniversary of the establishment of the United States Navy. In an effort to curb British Sea Control, the Continental Congress established the Continental Navy, which later, on Oct. 13, 1775, became the U.S. Navy. In 1972, the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Elmo Zumwalt, designated Oct. 13 as the Navy’s official birthday, and directed that it be commemorated so as to “enhance [the] appreciation of our Navy heritage” and reinforce “pride and professionalism in the Naval Service.” NMRTC Bremerton supports more than 60,000 military families in West Puget Sound, shaping military medicine through training, mentoring and research to ensure a ready medical force and operationally ready force.
