The 76th graduating class of the Naval War College (NWC) Monterey partnership with NPS for Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) stands for a group portrait on the steps of Herrmann Hall.

NWC Monterey chairman Fred Drake and NWC faculty member Dr. Michael Jones presided over the summer quarter ceremony as 48 U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Army officers who earned their Command and Staff diploma with JPME Phase I certification.

鈥淚 hope you learned a lot from NWC and I hope you realize that it鈥檚 just the beginning of this aspect of your education,鈥� said Jones. 鈥淚 hope you had a fantastic time in Monterey. I just want to say congratulations.鈥�

More than 5,000 officers have earned JPME Phase I certification since the NWC program鈥檚 inception in September 1999. Drake reminded the officers that graduation is a milestone of both achievement and reflection.

鈥淵ou鈥檝e passed a milestone but you haven鈥檛 finished your journey,鈥� said Drake. 鈥淵our journey will not be easy and there will be challenges. But from what we鈥檝e seen so far, you鈥檒l meet and conquer those challenges with vigor, energy and innovation ... some of the same attributes you鈥檝e used to achieve your current success.鈥�
