What My Service Meant to MeBy Leonard Lauder
Chairman Emeritus of The Estee Lauder Companies Inc.U.S. Navy Supply Corps Officer (active & reserve) 1955-1963U.S. Navy Supply Corps Foundation Distinguished Alumnus
Leonard Lauder
A friend recently reminded me of something I once said to him: When someone asks me what I owe my success in life to, the answer is easy. I owe it to the lessons I learned in the UnitedStatesNavy. Everything that cameafterwardcanbetracedbacktomytimeserving. I receivedmycommissionfromNewport OCS in 1955. This was fol-lowedby theNavySupplyCorpsSchool in Athens, GA, which sharp-enedmyfinancialandstrategicplan-ning skills. My tours included the USS Leyte (CVS32)andtheUSSCharles R. Ware (DD865). On the Leyte, I was the ship’s storeofficer,andIfoundthatIlovedmaking sure the Sailors had what they needed, as it really boosted morale.(I’vealwaysbeenamerchantatheart,Iguess!) Asayoungofficer,about22yearsold, I also learned accountability, responsibility, and delegation. No organization can run without them, and I certainly couldn’thavebuilttiny Estee Lauder without them. Ialsolearnedthevalueoftraining,andoffairness,firmness,andtrust. When I left active duty in1958, I officially joined The Estée Lauder Companies. It was a small

company, just finding its way. We were doing about $800,000 worth of business in the United States. But the Navyhadshownmehowtobe a leader—leaders aren’t born; they’re taught—andthat as a leader, I needed the people who worked for me to want me to succeed. TheNavyhadalsomademe realize that there were a lot of people who were much smarter than I was (at gradu-ation, I ranked12thof 24),and they came fromeverystate in the union. My job therefore was to hire people who were better than I was. The strength of our company today is the fact that none ofusareeverthreatenedbypeople who are smarter than weare.TheNavyisgreatbe-cause of the men and women whoserveandrepresentitsideals, and the wealth of a Company is also its people. My Navy service alsotaught me to respect tradition and tocelebratewhatwehave. And, finally, it heightenedmyalready-great patriotism and my pride in the United States.

One of my favorite fitrep lines --“He has carried out his supply

One of my fondest OP memories was when Don Weathersondroveme to work and played sermons on tape. He was seeking ideas for a next Sunday School lesson. Don founded theCommunityBibleSurvey,whichuses the Internet to teach the beauty
of daily Bible reading. His book, “BibleReadingforEveryone,”isaninspiration.

He is now the Vice President of theProjectManagementOffice atMajor League Football. He can be found on LinkedIn. Q. Tell us a little bit about your Naval career. A. I enlisted in theNavy as aStorekeeper Seaman Recruit and worked my way up to Chief and then was commissioned through the LDO program in 1995. Then I spent thenextfifteenyearsinvariousSup-ply Corps Billets in the Submarine, Aviation,andSurfacecommunities. Q. When did you start preparing for your post Navy career? A. I would say it was about a year out when I started to polish up my resume, started to get the feelers out there, and started looking at the different job posting websites. I also started reaching out to some of the headhunters thatworkspecificallywith military, the Lucas Groups, the Military Recruiting Institutes, to see what a guy like me can do.
Q. What is the best piece of advice you have for those that are going to be transitioning? A.Therearea lotofverygoodSupplyCorpsofficersthathavedonethis before, thathave transitionedout, and you need to reach out to them. Reach out to your old ship-mates, your mentors, your stateroom mates.They’llbeabletogiveyouanidea of what it was like for them, and everybodywillhaveadifferentstorybut you’ll be able to pick up bits and pieces from each of them that will helpyoutonavigateyourtransition.And while you’re talking to each one of them you’re also networking, and you’re networking with people that understand your experience and capabilities, so then they can refer you to the right places and people that may be hiring or maybe they are hiringthemselves.Youneverknowuntil you reach out to them. Q. What is one of the biggest chal-lenges while transitioning? A. Regardless of the successes you’vehad in the SupplyCorps,you’re going out as an unknown en-tityandyouneedtoproveyourselfagain.BeingaSupplyOfficer andhaving the SupplyCorps experi-ence really segues into a whole lot of different opportunities and pos-sibilitieswhenyoutransition.You’veprovenyourselfinthesecrazyenvi-

Jack Hawkins
“I feel like it’s my obligation to help others.”
Jack Hawkins, a son of LCDR Cary and Sherry Hawkins, recently graduated from theUniversity ofVirginia, headed to the Uniformed Service School ofHealth SciencesinBethesda,MDtobecomeaNavydoctor. Hawkins was the recipient of aU.S.NavySupplyCorpsFounda-tion scholarship and appreciates the waythatscholarshipmadeapositivedifference for him. The oldest of four boys, Hawkins
grew up in the Yorktown, VA area. TheNavypresencewaspowerful,he said, and along with his father’s influenceproved formative. “Youcould tell theNavypeopleby theway theywalked intoStarbucks,”herecalled.“AndIsawtheirlives,who they were, and wanted to be a partofthat.”
Alongwiththatinfluence,hewasalsodrawntothemedicalfield.Hismother works in the neonatal inten-sivecareunitinahospitalthereandhe shadowed her one summer. “It is so hectic there, with babies hanging on by a thread and people going in andout…sheisamazing!”hesaid. With a degree in biochemistry, he was initially uncertain whether to pursue medicine or research. His scholarship money allowed him to spend time in the summer research-ing aspects of lung cancer and ar-thritis,whichwouldnothavebeenpossible if he had to work a summer job. The experience helped him make his decision to go into medicine. “Research is great but test tubes don’ttalkback,”hesaid,addingitwas the personal interaction and the hands-on aspect of medicine that he really likes. Following the course he has laid out, Hawkins knows he will owe sevenyears to theNavy after he
completes his residency. He is partic-ular excited to be pursuing military medicine. “You’re not just seated in anoffice–it’sreallyadventurous,”he said with a smile. “Plus, who else betterdeservesgoodmedicalcare?”headded.“It’sreallyfulfilling.”

OnMay17,2017,Iprovidedthebelow statement to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Califor-nia in the sentencing hearing for CAPT(Ret.)RobertGilbeau.Iwasaskedtoprovideastatementfocus-ingontheimpactthatCAPT(Ret.)Gilbeau’sactionshavehadontheSupply Community. In other words, I was there representing all of you, and I want you to know what I said on your behalf. This was not an easy task, but it was a necessary step for us all to be able to continue repairing the dam-age done by some of our former members. I want you all to know thatactionsnotconsistentwithNavyCoreValueshaveconsequences. I previously sharedwith youthoughts about the two sides of the concept of accountability: (1)holding those accountable for their misdeeds and (2) taking account-ability for each other as we reach out to help our shipmates stay on therightpath.Aswemoveforward,I hope to be able to focus more on the second meaning.

Good Morning Your Honor. I am Rear Admiral Jonathan A. Yuen. I currentlyserveasChiefofNavySupply Corps and Commander, NavalSupplySystemsCommand
(or“NAVSUP”).I thank Your Honor for the oppor-tunity to again address this Court. TheViceChiefofNavalOperations,AdmiralWilliamMoran,provideda written statement expressing the impact of this particular Defendant’s actionsontheU.S.Navy,asaninsti-tution, and the members in its ser-vice.IoffertheCourtthefollowingelaboration on the impact the Defen-

As Chief of Supply Corps, I am the community leader for ap-proximately three thousand Supply Corpsofficersand20,000Sailors.AsNAVSUP Commander, I am the Sup-plyChainManager for theNavy,responsible for providing parts,ordnance, fuel, food, and other sup-plies to sustain our forces through-out the world. The entire NAVSUP enterprise includes more than six thousandninehundred civilians,onethousandfivehundredenlisted
SailorsandfivehundredandfiftySupplyCorps officers, serving atNAVSUPheadquartersandinsev-eral subordinate commands. Our overallmissioncanbesummedupinthephrase,“Deliveringtherightstuff, to the right place, at the right time and at the right cost.” I amstationed at NAVSUP headquarters andliveinMechanicsburg,Pennsyl-vania. Since assuming command in Oc-tober2013,therehavebeenmanydif-ficultdays,buttodayisparticularlydifficultforme. In the summer of 1979, Captain (Ret.)RobertGilbeauandIstartedourNavy careers together at theUnited StatesNavalAcademy. Itwasverydifficult formeto learnthe details of his criminal and dis-honorableactivities.Itakenoplea-sure in presenting this statement, but it is important for this Court to hearthedamagehisactionshave

a fundamental betrayal of what all ofusintheSupplycommunityhavededicatedourlivestodo. Thereareoversixthousandninehundreddedicated civilians in theSupply community - who should also be heard on this matter. I am honored tohaveamongourNAV-SUPfamily,civilianmenandwomenwho helped train both the Defendant andmewhenwewerejuniorofficersover30yearsago.Ourciviliansaremore than employees -- they are proud professionals who are person-allyinvestedinthereputationandwelfare of theNavySupply com-munity. They too feel embarrassed and angered by the actions of the Defendant and others caught up in the GDMA scandal. Ourcivilianmemberswhoworkintheareaofprovidinghusbandingcontracts were among the hardest impacted by the GDMA scandal. These contracts secure the goods and services toU.S.warshipsandothernavalvesselsvisitingforeignports, what we refer to as “husband-ing.”WhenthecriminalconductofGDMAandcertainUSNavymem-bers, including this Defendant, came to light, it was these men and women whodidtheheavylifting,workinglong hours under stressful condi-tions, to completely overhaul theprocedures for securing husbanding
contracts, as referenced by the VCNO in his letter. The contracting mission carries with it broader strategic impli-cations. It extends beyond secur-ingneededgoodsandservices.Iteven extends beyondbeing goodstewards of the taxpayers’ money. Whenoperatingoverseas,thecon-tracting mission demonstrates to foreign contractors and officialshow Americans do business. Sup-plyCorpsofficersare taught thatourNavy’sbusinesspracticesmustproject integrity, fair dealing, and adherence to the rule of law if we expect others in the world to follow suit. Participating in, and support-ing corruption in the foreign ports wevisitweakensthepowerofoureconomic example, and thereby harms our mission, while encour-aging dangerous elements seeking to gain a foothold through cor-ruption and fraud to threaten our national security. The misconduct of those, like the Defendant, convictedofparticipa-tion in the GDMA corruption scandal hashad,andwillcontinuetohave,afar-reachingimpactupontheNavySupply community, in the way we perform our mission, the way others perceiveus,andespecially inhowwethinkandfeelaboutourselves.The Defendant’s misconduct while
serving as a SupplyCorpsofficerhas seriously damaged the com-munityheservedformorethan30years. While some may see today as a setback, it is a necessary part of thehealingprocess.Thosewhohaveengaged in criminal conduct must be held accountable for their actions before we can repair the damage they havedone. Finally, Your Honor, I’d be remiss if I didn’t add that I am extremely proud of the Supply community’s resilient response to this scandal, and dedication to making things right again. We are restoring our rock-solid reputation that was earned by honoring our promises and ensuring ourcustomers’needsaremet,serv-ing thewarfighterswhoserve thisgreat nation.
