SECNAV to the Navy: You got the money so fix yourselves. Fast.
By: Mark D. Faram   

After years of being overworked and underfunded, Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer says Congress gave the service enough cash to remedy its readiness woes and now it’s time to “increase the velocity of change.”

“The two-year budget has enabled us to set the environment for change,” Spencer told a packed auditorium at the Surface Navy Association’s annual convention on Wednesday. “We have the money, ladies and gentlemen, but one thing that money can’t buy is time and we don’t have time to do business as usual.”

Spencer called on the surface sailors and their officers gathered in Arlington, Virginia, to “deliver the Navy the nation needs with a true sense of urgency. And I mean that.”
