The ceremony recognized four honorary graduates,
including the late Midshipmen Nicholas Tarr and Max

suggestions for success from his own experiences as
an enlisted Army infantryman and from his discussions
with enlisted sailors and Marines.
You must connect with people on a personal level,
said Hagel. With new technologies and social media
making our relationships sometimes seem less
relevant, it is more important than ever to be personally
invested in your people.
