Good afternoon. Bonjour, tout le monde.
My name is Commodore Jennifer Bennett. I am the commander of naval reserves. I am a naval reservist. I've spent my entire military career as a primary reservist. In my civilian career, I'm the director of a school, so I have two simultaneous careers.
My position is somewhat different from my colleagues'. I am one of three formation commanders in the navy. There is a formation commander on each of the coasts, and I am a formation commander who reports directly to the Chief of Maritime Staff on naval reserve matters.
