Lt. Gen. Michael A. Rocco, the Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, says "thank you" to all the Marines and Civilian Marines in the Manpower, Personnel, and Administration community for their hard work and professionalism. Successful Marine Corps units are the product of many efforts, particularly the lasting commitment of administrators - those providing direct support to the command team, Marines, and their families.

Shout out to all our administrative professionals and thank you for all of your contributions to the Marine Corps! National Administrative Professionals’ Day dates back to World War II, when there was a shortage of experienced administrative personnel in the United States. The National Secretaries Association, founded in 1942, was formed to recognize the contributions of administrative personnel to the economy, support their personal development, and help recruit employees to the administrative field. National Administrative Professionals Day is always observed on the Wednesday of Administrative Professionals Week, the last full week of the month of April.
