Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Christopher Kelly, left, meets with students at Ingersoll Hall during his visit to NPS, March 5. Kelly spoke with students about career development and logistics optimization.

"I never say never. Anything is possible," said Kelly. "We could be doing a lot better at leveraging capabilities across our services and finding ways to organize, train and equip."

Kelly also encouraged the assembled students to excel academically and to view their military service as a high calling.

"If you stop learning you will become stagnant and the competition will going flying by," said Kelly. "If you decide to make service to your country your vocation, you must gain expertise in a field and find a way to stand out."
