NWC Monterey Celebrates 62nd Graduating Class
By MC3 Michael Ehrlich
The 62nd graduating class of the Naval War College (NWC) Monterey partnership with NPS for Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) stands for a group portrait in front of Herrmann Hall, March 19. Through the partnership, 3,979 officers have earned their Command & Staff diplomas with JPME Phase I certification since the program's inception in September 1999.
"I commend each of the graduates here today for taking on the added responsibility and scholarship it takes to earn that Naval War College diploma and simultaneously complete their remaining NPS studies," said NWC President Rear Adm. P. Gardner Howe III. "You're efforts are shining examples of efficiency and effectiveness."
Professor Fred Drake, chairman of the NWC Monterey program, and Howe presided over the ceremony where a total of 92 Navy, Marine Corps, and Army officers earned their Command and Staff diplomas.
