- Never forgetting that you are now an Information Professional in the world’s greatest Navy
- Be a leader that others want to follow
- Standing up for what’s right is never wrong
- You are a warfighter and warfighting is your trade
- Stay humble and hungry
- Remember that leadership is not about you
- Take advantage of the opportunities presented to you.
