Around the Naval Education & Training Command - Zambales

Yes, go Navy!  "By 2020 we shall be a strong and credible Navy our maritime nation can be proud of."  -- a goal that can best be obtained through the leadership of Christ-committed and God-dependent Military officers and personnel.  So join us as we pray and partner with our Christian military officers.
