    Petty Officer 2nd Class Religious Program Specialist (Fleet Marine Force) Christian L. Whitman, from San Diego, poses for photos with instructors and fellow graduates after completing the Navy’s Flag Writer Course at Naval Air Station Oceana, Feb. 12, 2026. The course, traditionally attended by Yeomen selected to serve on flag officer staffs, prepares Sailors to provide executive-level administrative support to Navy admirals. Whitman is believed to be the first Religious Program Specialist to graduate from the prestigious course, highlighting the rating’s historical connection to the Yeoman community and its expanding role across the fleet.
