WELCOME FUTURE VALKYRIES!

Welcome to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 50 Valkyries!  I am honored to be your commanding officer and look forward to you joining our team. You will have the unique opportunity to shape HSM-50's legacy as we continue to establish our battle rhythm! My personal challenge to you is to be a positive influence and strive to be better every day.  HSM-50’s success begins with individuals doing their best and moving forward as one team.   
 
You will receive a “Welcome Aboard” message with lots of valuable information about the squadron and the Jacksonville, Florida area.  As you prepare to transfer, you will be assigned a sponsor, a fellow Valkyrie Sailor, who will help answer your questions and work to make your transition as smooth as possible.  Contact your command sponsor who will make your PCS a smooth and agreeable one.  We look forward to serving with you and making your tour onboard HSM-50 a success!
