Congratulations on your feature article, Les! #BPMIProud

Our President & General Manager, Barb Staniscia, was invited as a guest speaker at this year's U.S. Women in Nuclear (U.S. WIN) annual conference held in Pittsburgh, Pa. Today, she took the podium to inspire women from across the country by sharing her positive experiences teaming with Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program partners to provide increased capabilities and support to our nuclear fleet. "It’s through [BPMI's] ability to build relationships and encourage collaboration that we have been able to drive improvements in our suppliers and expand the Navy’s military advantage,” Barb explained. She went on to excitedly share that “The greatest reason for our continued success is the team we’ve built among all of our Program Partners--the Naval Nuclear Program is top notch!" As One Team with One Mission, we are proud to come together at BPMI and within the Program to support the U.S. Navy. #womeninnuclear #peoplegetthingsdone #nuclearpropulsion #USWIN2024

We are excited to be attending U.S. Women in Nuclear (U.S. WIN)'s annual conference in our hometown of Pittsburgh, Pa. this week!

On July 22, 2017, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), was commissioned at Naval Station Norfolk, Va. This commissioning ceremony was a special one; CVN 78 was the first new carrier design placed in service since USS Nimitz was commissioned over 42 years earlier. The commissioning ceremony not only honors the start of the ship's active service to the Navy, but also celebrates all of the people involved in delivering it to the fleet. At BPMI, we take great pride in the supporting the U.S. Navy's nuclear fleet. It takes hundreds of people and hours to deliver an aircraft carrier or submarine to the fleet. We are honored to be only a small fraction of the behind the scenes of getting ships like CVN 78 into service and ensuring their continued service as part of the Navy's active fleet.  To learn more about CVN 78, visit https://lnkd.in/gwyucDV3 or to read the press release from the commissioning ceremony, visit https://lnkd.in/gx-KVUBR Learn more about how we support the U.S. Navy or apply to be part of our team on our website: https://lnkd.in/ge8gT5sx. #navalhistory #BPMIProud #meaningfulwork #peoplegettingthingsdone

On July 12, 1990, Captain Rosemary B. Mariner became the first woman to command an operational aviation squadron, Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 34 (VAQ 34). She is one of the first women to become qualified as a naval aviator in 1974 and one of the first women to fly light attack aircraft. Mariner attained the rank of Captain before retiring in 1997. After retiring, Mariner continued to play an active role in advancing opportunities for women in defense. She became a teacher of military history and worked as advisor on national defense policy and women’s integration into the military for the Navy. #navalhistory To learn more about Mariner, visit https://lnkd.in/e7sFC-8A

Happy 50th Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) !

Happy Independence Day! Today we celebrate all of the freedoms we have as Americans. To quote our GM, "We have freedoms that are mere dreams to others around the world, and at BPMI, we further get to defend those freedoms in a unique way." Today, and every day, we are proud to live in a country that grants us the "great privilege to live with freedom, and as BPMI employees, we are privileged to support our fleet in protecting those freedoms. May we never take either responsibility for granted." What freedoms are you most thankful for this Fourth of July? #BPMIProud

On this day in 1850, the Naval School at Annapolis, Md., was renamed the US Naval Academy and adopted a four-year course of study, providing students with the ability to obtain a bachelor's degree in their study of choosing. With an 11% acceptance rate, the Naval Academy prepares young men and women of high caliber to become officers in the US Navy and Marines and exemplifies one of the 15 principles established by Admiral Hyman G. Rickover for the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program: Selection, Training, and Qualification of the Best People, Dedicated to Excellence. #navalhistory For more information on the U.S Naval Academy visit https://lnkd.in/gF9G8DQ3.
