Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Pearl Harbor hosted Rear Adm. Jonathan A. Yuen, commander, NAVSUP and chief of the U.S. Navy Supply Corps, during his visit to Pearl Harbor, Oct. 24-25.

Yuen conducted town hall meetings with supply corps officers, and the events focused on the critical role of logistics support in fleet readiness.

"We fight shoulder to shoulder with the warfighter," said Yuen. "We are sustaining today, planning for tomorrow, and always supporting the fleet."

Yuen also discussed his views on ethics during the town hall events, noting his first Navy lesson was to do what was good for the Navy, good for the crew, and had no personal gain. He then discussed the difference between doing the right thing and doing things right. He said character and competence matter, and ethics are the rules and character helps us follow our rules when tested.

The Silver Dolphin Bistro Galley at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) welcomed Yuen and supply-coded Sailors from Naval Special Warfare Logistics Support Unit (LOGSU) 3, U.S. Pacific Fleet (PACFLT), guided-missile destroyers USS Preble (DDG 88) and USS Halsey (DDG 97), and attack submarine USS Hawaii (SSN 776) for a special luncheon. Yuen immersed himself with the Sailors by sitting directly in the middle of the long, rectangle table and initiated conversation with the Go For Green (G4G) program that was fully implemented Oct. 20.

Afterwards, Yuen met with the supply department aboard USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53) at JBPHH. Yuen held a brief ceremony, where he awarded his personal coin to Sailors recognized as superior performers by their supervisors. Ship visits like these provide Yuen an opportunity to give thanks to the crews and discuss initiatives, as well as receive feedback directly from Sailors on the deckplates.

During the two-day visit, Yuen also met with Navy Exchange (NEX) Pearl Harbor management for a Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise support brief, and took a walking tour of each department.

Prior to departing Hawaii, Yuen had the honor of participating in a cake-cutting ceremony to celebrate NAVSUP FLC Pearl Harbor's 74th anniversary of fleet logistics support.

"Thank you for all you do to support the warfighter," said Yuen. "I heard RIMPAC was phenomenal, and your preparations for all operations that occur on-island are great."

After the ceremony, local military and civilian logisticians enjoyed a potluck lunch and had a chance to meet with Yuen.
