MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) – Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO) Adm. Bill Lescher traveled to Millington for a scheduled visit to Commander, Navy Recruiting Command (CNRC) Mar. 17.
During his visit Lescher received a tour of CNRC from Rear Adm. Dennis Velez, Commander, Navy Recruiting Command, where he was able to see firsthand some of the ways in which recruiting is shaping the future of the fleet. Velez discussed how recruiting efforts currently support Navy transformation goals and how NRC is reaching the virtual recruiting market through strategic outreach, marketing and advertising.
Following the tour, Lescher held a virtual meeting where he recognized members of the command and presented them with a coin for their outstanding service.
“It’s a pleasure to come and visit Navy Recruiting Command and see the great efforts being put forth by the staff and Sailors here,” said Lescher. “Your efforts are directly shaping the future of the Navy and I am humbled by the great work the command is putting forth.”
NRC has amplified its diversity and inclusion efforts by holding regular town hall meetings and roundtables, bringing Navy promotional days to historically diverse colleges and institutions, and initiating new recruiting programs like the Junior Officer Diversity Outreach (JODO) pilot program. Velez expects these actions will make long-term diversity and inclusion improvements for the Navy.
“It is an honor to host the Vice CNO and show him the changes we’ve made and the improvements that have resulted due to the amazing effort of the members of this command,” said Velez. “We have an exceptional staff here at CNRC and it is a pleasure to have received a visit from Admiral Lescher.”
Navy Recruiting Command consists of a command headquarters, three Navy Recruiting Regions, and 26 Navy Talent Acquisition Groups that serve more than 1,000 recruiting stations across the world. Their combined goal is to attract the highest quality candidates to assure the ongoing success of America’s Navy.
