Cmdr. Donald W. Rogers Jr., presiding chaplain, delivers the invocation during Fleet Readiness Center Southeast’s (FRCSE) 2023 apprenticeship graduation ceremony at Southbank Hotel Jacksonville Riverwalk. FRCSE’s Production Support Branch Head Mary Ann Ball, MRO Production Director Veronica Amato and Commanding Officer Capt. Al Palmer bow their heads in prayer. FRCSE launched the renewed apprenticeship program in 2019, a combination work-study program that provides apprentices with a competitive wage and benefits while learning a journey-level trade.
