Rear Adm. Mark H. Buzby discusses how his education at Farragut paved the way for leadership in the Navy
The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy has a motto, “Acta non Verba,” which is Latin for “Deeds, not Words.” At the 2014 commencement, Vice Admiral Michelle J. Howard, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, Plans and Strategy, gave the commencement address and emphasized how this motto has played a pivotal role in the way the Academy has trained “leaders for careers at sea while instilling the values that allow them to become outstanding leaders in the maritime industry, the best boarding school in US, and their communities education at Farragut.”
