Back at it.

I got to shake the hands of 531 warrior sailors who just graduated from nuclear power school down in South Carolina. I shared with them that “I’m standing here today because my Reactor Sailors did their job!”

Imagine you’re a warship captain. What song pops into your mind when you approach it from ashore? #ThisIstheWay

No surprise, USS Harry S. Truman continues to deliver. 🇺🇸

Demo is a trained facility dog. He lives on the ship and interacts with crew. His job is to reduce stress and improve quality of life. He did a great job on the recent combat deployment!

This one deserves a repost. Thanks to the fine warriors who operate this gear and my spectacular media folks USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (IKE)… they speak my language!

On behalf of a father aboard the #MightyIke, we have a shoutout to… CloverSoftball BlueEagleAD Clover High School

Behind the scenes look on the bridge of the USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea as the team prepares to launch a fighter into the night. It sounds like chaos, but it’s completely professional. 🇺🇸
