BLOOD RUNS NAVY BLUE

Navy Recruiter Magazine, August 2004, page 11

Lt. Cmdr. Breckenridge Morgan, CNRC Head of Military Human Resources, executed the commissioning ceremony for his nephew, Ensign Rob Given, who recently graduated with Class 1504 from Officer Candidate School.

"He's always been more like an older brother," said Given about his uncle. "He never pushed me [to enter Navy service]. He just informed me and supported me. He was more of a mentor," said Given.

Morgan said administering the oath was different than the 14 people he commissioned while OPO at NRD Indianapolis. "With Rob, it was special. I had seen him grow up and become a good and honest young man. I knew that both he and the Navy were going to benefit from his service."

Given recently reported to the Navy's Nuclear Power School in South Carolina for training.
