Having chosen the SWO path, we now need to make sure that their training is exceptional. We need to ensure they are welcomed into their new wardrooms-feel that membership and camaraderie very quickly. Then they'll get that opportunity for responsibility and leadership when they get aboard the ship. Abraham Lincoln said that the philosophy in the school rooms of one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next. The same principle holds true for the SWO community.
Success breeds success.
That's how it begins. And that's how it carries on.
