Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville (NAVSUP FLC Jacksonville) welcomed its new executive officer (XO) and command master chief (CMC) this month. Cmdr. K. Matt Wall and Command Master Chief Keona Johnson now complete the command\u2019s senior leadership team.<\/p>\n
Wall, an Oklahoma native, said his priority is ensuring Sailors and teammates maintain a healthy work-life balance.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe our mission to support the Fleet will only be successful if our people and their families are taken care of,\u201d Wall said. \u201cI am a strong advocate of work to task, not to time. Our time on this earth is short, and we need to value our time and prioritize what\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n
As a husband and father, Wall emphasized the importance of making time for family as a critical component of mission readiness.<\/p>\n
Prior to reporting to NAVSUP FLC Jacksonville, Wall cited his tour with SEAL Team 4 at Naval Special Warfare Group Two Logistics and Support Unit among the most rewarding experiences of his career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always enjoyed the operational side of our business, and this was the most fulfilling to me,\u201d he said. \u201cThe support our logistics team provided downrange was so evident that it became my most memorable operational tour.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before assuming duties as executive officer, Wall served as a detailer at Navy Personnel Command.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile it wasn\u2019t always pleasant, I greatly enjoyed the challenge to my emotional intelligence, genuinely helping people, and providing career guidance and mentorship,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Now at NAVSUP FLC Jacksonville, Wall said he hopes to strengthen command culture while ensuring mission execution aligns with the commanding officer\u2019s intent.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will undoubtedly be my toughest assignment yet, but I\u2019m excited for it,\u201d he said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t be prouder to be part of this team. My top goal is to ensure this command continues to be the number one fleet logistics center while always striving to make it better.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his free time, Wall enjoys attending church, spending time with family, watching sports, fishing and playing guitar.<\/p>\n
Johnson said her focus as command master chief is developing enlisted Sailors to reach their full potential in support of the mission.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnsuring Sailors understand that the Supply role in warfighting is just as important as any other role is critical,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cTheir mental and physical health are also essential to performing at the highest level.\u201d<\/p>\n
A proud cheer mom, Johnson said she strives to help others by approaching challenges from a human perspective.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur Sailors and civilian teammates are our absolute best asset,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI am excited to be here and look forward to adding to the continued success of NAVSUP FLC Jacksonville.\u201d<\/p>\n
Johnson said she looks forward to visiting the command\u2019s various sites to learn more about personnel, their roles and how they support operational warfighters. She also plans to help further develop the Chiefs Mess and wardroom into even stronger leadership teams.<\/p>\n
On a personal note, Johnson plans to complete her bachelor\u2019s degree during her tour at the command.
