Each one of them should be proud of their service to our nation and dedication to our Navy. Each one should be proud of what you have accomplished and what you represent.

So now onto our spectacular finalists. This is certainly a momentous day for the five of you. A proud day certainly. You have worked hard. You have overcome many obstacles. Your careers to-date are all eye-watering exemplary. The fact that you are here today to celebrate this moment is a notable achievement in-itself and regardless of the results we are going to announce in a moment, you\u2019re all winners,\u201d said Mustin.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u201cWe have over 12,000 First Class Petty Officers in the Navy Reserve force. A very rigorous process that I just mentioned narrowed that field down to five and today, ultimately, to one. And although there\u2019s going to be a single selection announced this morning, all of you have distinguished yourselves from thousands of other Reserve Sailors, each of whom are doing great work\u2026in every theater around the globe&#8230;24\/7\u2026365 days a year. \u00a0Your achievements exemplify the best our Reserve force has to offer\u2026and exactly what our fleet commanders demand from us:\u00a0 talented, capable, dedicated, warfighting-ready Sailors with a clear-eyed resolve to compete, deter, and win today.\u00a0 Regardless of today\u2019s results, all of our finalists are going to go on to continue and do great things for our Force and for our Navy. I take great comfort in knowing that these aggressive Sailors are going to be part of the leadership of the Navy Reserve in the critical decade that lies ahead. Whether they\u2019re wearing khakis immediately next year or the year after, they are going to continue to thrive, they are going to dedicate and contribute to the urgent generational transformation that\u2019s driving the Force right now. I take great pride personally in serving alongside every one of you,\u201d said Mustin.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>After the announcement, McClintock talked about his gratitude to family, God and \u201ccongratulate this extraordinarily talented group of finalists.

I can\u2019t wait to get back home to share this with you.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>And he recognized the impact of others helping him be successful. \u201cI am only a man who is a reflection of all these people. I couldn\u2019t have done this without any of you as each of you have instilled tools in me that allow me to seemingly make the impossible, possible,\u201d said McClintock. \u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Late Chief of Naval Operations Adm.
