Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (FLCSD) Commanding Officer, NPS alumnus Capt. Chris Mosher, left, addresses supply corps officers attending NPS' Acquisition and Contract Management Curricula (815 curricula) at Reed Hall, Feb. 10. Mosher discussed, among other things, the values important to supply corps officers and the need to balance professional and family life.

"One thing I want to impart to you is that you stay true to our basic core values … and that you strike the right balance between your professional pursuits and the importance of family," urged Mosher.

In addition to meeting with students and faculty, Mosher met with NPS' Contracting and Logistics Management (C&LM) team.

"Capt. Mosher's visit allowed the C&LM team to share their procurement experiences with him and his FLCSD contracting team first hand," said NPS Purchasing Agent Julie Rips. "It was a great experience."

NPS' Acquisition and Contract Management Curricula is designed to develop the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary to effectively lead the acquisition workforce. Mosher himself is an 815 curricula graduate. He completed the curricula before heading out to numerous leadership positions within the fleet.
