The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) European International Alumni Symposium concluded, Oct. 2, with partners and allies focused on collaborative ways forward on European and global security issues. Participants expressed gratitude for the opportunity to reengage, learn from experts, and recommitted themselves to tackling the challenges ahead. During the closing ceremony Adm. Stuart B. Munsch, Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa; Commander, Allied Joint Force Command Naples delivered remarks. "In so many ways they [the educational institutions] are the engines of what happens in the future,” said Munsch. “They not only equip individuals with the skill sets to think about particular knowledge areas but more broadly to think critically and strategically.” "The institutions are what provide this foundation for our future, and the Naval Postgraduate School is among them." On the final day, Distinguished Alumni awardees were recognized, and all attendees were collectively acknowledged for their active participation and their vital contributions to their respective countries' militaries, both now and in the future. • For more information on International Graduate Programs at NPS, visit: https://nps.edu/web/igpo US Navy | United States Marine Corps | Office of the Secretary of the Navy | Office of the Chief of Naval Operations | U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet| NATO | Naval Postgraduate School Foundation & Alumni Association | George C.

Proud moment for future naval aviators! Student pilots from Training Air Wings 1 & 2 reached a critical milestone by completing their first carrier qualifications (CQ) aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). Off the coast of Florida, these students performed 256 recoveries in T-45C Goshawk aircraft, marking the final phase of their advanced training. The experience and safety protocols onboard, from the flight deck to the tower, ensure the highest standards as these future naval aviators prepare to take on operational commands across the fleet. Congratulations to all involved in this remarkable achievement! 🎉 #NavalAviation #CarrierQualification #Leadership #WingsOfGold #USNavy #ProfessionalDevelopment
