Hispanic and Latino leaders from the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard came together virtually to discuss leadership, identity, and maintaining a culture of excellence May 5.
Sponsored by the Association of Naval Services Officers, a non-profit that focuses on mentorship of Hispanic-Latino servicemembers, the symposium was an annual meet up to re-commit to the ideals of recruiting, retaining, and ensuring promotion opportunities for people of Hispanic and Latino descent.
“We are in uncertain times. Times that call us to maintain a culture of excellence,” said Capt. Roy Love, who is the DC chapter president and whose chapter hosted the virtual symposium. “This was an opportunity for service members across all three maritime services to recognize that there are people of diverse backgrounds like them striving for success – and working together to get there.”

“Both Sen. Inhofe and I are determined to get our bill to the floor and then get the conference done and get a bill to the president s desk,” Reed said yesterday at an event sponsored by the Reagan Institute. “It s going to be difficult. We re going to have to make some hard choices, but our intention is to get the bill done. And to do so in a way that enhances our security.”

The service exceeded its retention goals in FY 2020 and announced a select list of ratings would qualify for early separation, according NAVADMIN messages in December and January. The list includes boatswain’s mate, culinary specialist and hospital corpsman. “While we have grown over the years, some enlisted ratings have become overmanned, creating imbalances in the Fleet,” the chief of Navy personnel, Vice Adm. John Nowell, wrote in December’s message.
