"For me, the most valuable part of the SSP was the interaction with teachers and classmates whose backgrounds varied significantly and afforded a range of perspectives. Now as I travel the world as a young Naval officer, I am able to draw upon the knowledge I gained from my courses, and the lessons I took from those around me, as backdrop for my own experiences in the fleet."
