OCS GRADUATION
Naval Base, Newport, Rhode Island
March 12, 1971
It is a great pleasure for me to be able to share this occasion
with you as you begin your service as Naval officers.
1. I began mine at Quonset Point and it has taken
me twenty-nine years to cross Narragansett Bay,
but I am glad to be here.
(1) That is not meant to reflect on my training --
I think I was a pretty good navigator.
1. I just went the long way around.
I do not contend that it necessarily means anything as far as
your future is concerned, but it should be noted that the two
Presidents before me were also Navy men and, of course,
President Eisenhower first tried to go to Annapolis before
finally ending up at West Point.
