BM3 Anderson's Role Model To Shipmates At Station Port Arans

It’s Your Ship, by Capt. D. Michael Abrashoff is good read on understanding the basics of what he calls grassroots leadership he developed while a Commander in the Navy. He takes the reader through the journey of having a cutting-edge ship handed over him, while finding his own leadership lacking his expectations. While defying conventional Navy leadership tactics, Abrashoff created “a crew of confident and inspired problem-solvers eager to take the initiative and responsibility for their actions.” He ultimately succeeded in turning the USS Benfold into the “best damn ship in the Navy” in a

1RSU a predominately RAAF work environment , Navy having a more mature program “NGN” has assisted the sailor in guiding fellow RAAF members through their own recent program “New Horizon” and also provides his crew members with another prospective. LS Fitzsimmons constantly provides strong guidance, effective solutions and robust recommendations to his supervisors when approached on divisional issues.

Vice Admiral (VADM) William Moran, Chief of Naval Personnel, heard so much about my division, he decided to pay us a visit. I was use to Admirals visiting my spaces and being inquisitive about what we do, but there was something about VADM Moran that was different and authentic. I was ordered to meet him outside the door. I watch the parking lot and awaited his arrival, as well as his entourage. They finally arrived in a white government mini-van. As he approached, I surrendered my salute. He walked toward me very polished, with a strong presence and big warm smile. I directed him towards our cyberspace recruiting center. Instead of walking in silence he began asking about me, such as where I was from and about what ships I’ve been on.

My questions involved the challenges of leading aviators into unknown conditions of combat in Syria, the extreme workload being place upon our sailors and the frustration of extended time at sea. During this interview I aimed to glean how in such a stressful time, he felt VFA-213 was able to improve the tactical ability in the jet, decrease the rates of sexual harassment and virtually rid the squadron of alcohol related incidents. Independent of the variety of questions I asked, he consistently referred to the importance of addressing the needs of his sailors as a family member would. Several times he stated that “my goal was for our squadron to truly be a family” . He believed that from that basic foundational idea would develop a more cohesive, dedicated and devoted squadron. His mission statement was “Ordnance on target, on time, every time” which doesn’t seem to align necessarily well with his family mindset but after careful examination, they go hand in hand. He believed that every sailor and officer under his command had a vest interest in the mission and would perform at their best if the mission was clearly defined. He worked tirelessly to help each sailor find a narrow definition of the mission. For example, when speaking to an ordnanceman, he would highlight how important it was that every bomb released properly from the aircraft. If speaking with an aviation technician, he would explain how lethal the jet would operate

Today's mariners have too little valuation for their legacy. To counter this issue, Thomas J. Cutler has arranged a background marked by our maritime legacy as A Sailor's History of the U.S. Naval force. The work is one of a kind in two vital ways. To start with, it is composed specifically instead of sequentially. This enables late history to be mixed with more removed (yet critical) occasions in ways that will strengthen the agelessness and in addition the opportuneness of the U.S. Naval force, accordingly having a more noteworthy interest to today's mariner. There are various topics being utilized the most evident are showed in sections with the subjects of "respect," "boldness," and "duty," however others fill in as helpful vehicles too;

From falling into the icy waters of Antarctica to spending time with influential soldiers and leaders, Michael Adams had time to think about life from a different perspective and notice the importance of dedication, love, and overcoming challenges in life. The responsibilities he faced and the family he had to leave behind played key importance in his decision to join the military. At just 18 years of age, Michael broke free from the comforts of his family, home, and friends to put himself in the shoes of the U.S. Navy. He knew it was a spot only certain people could fill, but that did not stop him from doing what he knew was necessary. The now 58-year-old husband, father, and grandfather looks back on his time in the service and wishes he

The Coast Guard must implement a program to capture valuable experience gained on board OPC at locations where it is most needed, directing a follow-on tour at a homeport for the Cutter class. Under this program Electronics Technicians rotating from an OPC will expect a follow on tour at a unit providing depot level support to OPC. For the first three years following delivery of Hull number one this unit will be the Maintenance Augmentation Team (MAT) at home port number one, Los Angeles, CA. After the initial three years the choices will expand to include Seattle, WA, followed by Pensacola, FL, Charleston, SC, Portsmouth, VA, and Boston, MA. Technicians need not be restricted to their current homeport; however, such a restriction would realize a cost savings to the PCS account. Opportunity for geo-stability provides an incentive for technicians to volunteer for OPC assignment, at no cost to the Government. There will be periodic cases where more technicians are rotating from an OPC than can be captured in open support billets. These cases will be addressed via triage, authorizing the Assignment Officer to issue orders for the excess personnel according to normal
