Final Command
In August 2005, Mayer was assigned as Commander, Naval Safety Center in Norfolk, Virginia. As commander, he was responsible for the center's mission of providing safety assistance and advice to the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC), and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Safety in order to enhance the war fighting capability of the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps, preserve resources and improve combat readiness by preventing mishaps and saving lives.
Mayer has been a strong advocate of Hispanic recruitment and active participation in the United States Armed Forces and has been quoted as saying:
"One of the biggest strengths of the Hispanic community is its ability to produce leaders in all facets of society and industry."

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or command:
“The self-explorer, whether he wants to or not, becomes the explorer of everything else. He learns to see himself, but suddenly, provided he was honest, all the rest appears, and it is as rich as he was, and, as a final crowning, richer.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience. This split second is his; he is in command of his medium; the effect vanishes into thin air; but that moment has a power all its own and, like power in any form, is stimulating and alluring.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
