The auditorium was filled with nearly 500 service members for the all-hands call as Spencer discussed his outline for the Navy within the region.
SECNAV shared with the audience that at the top of his efforts are career opportunities stating, "People’s career advancement is our highest priority". Spencer affirmed that he is directly working with other members of Congress to get this initiative approved.
During the all-hands call Spencer stressed the importance of maintaining relationships between our international allies and the Navy and Marine Corps. He reiterated that our international allies are an integral part of this relationship, and our presence as a nation.
The audience asked SECNAV a variety of questions ranging from security, the impending Space Force, sea-lanes, and the Navy’s new littoral combat ships (LCS).
"We’re going to finish up the LCS plans," said Spencer. "The LCS offers us an expanse in global operations."
One of the last questions was in regards to the LGBT community’s opportunity to serve.
“So long as a person is willing and able, they will have the opportunity to serve,” said Spencer.
From Hawaii, Spencer continues his visits throughout the Pacific.
