我保證將盡我所能做到平順交接職務，以確保國防部對215萬美軍與其73萬2079位民間僱員的照顧不打折扣，讓這些人可以完成不分晝夜的艱難任務，保護美國人民的安全。
I pledge my full effort to a smooth transition that ensures the needs and interests of the 2.15 million Service Members and 732,079 DoD civilians receive undistracted attention of the Department at all times so that they can fulfill their critical, round-the-clock mission to protect the American people.
我非常感激有這個機會為國家、為我們的袍澤效力。
I very much appreciate this opportunity to serve the nation and our men and women in uniform.
