Case Analysis : Training Requirements For United States Navy

The Makings Of A Navy SEAL by Brandon Webb and forwarded by Marcus Luttrell is about Brandon Webb's life on his journey becoming a Navy SEAL. Brandon went through very tough times and also learned how much it took to become a Navy SEAL. After reading this book, I became captivated on Branon’s life. I think that he was a great person and was surprised how much he had to go through to become a Navy SEAL and a Navy SEAL sniper.

The United States of America has not always been the world superpower that it is today. The same goes for its Navy. In the first several years of existence, the United States Navy was not a formidable fighting force. The young nation was hesitant to invest in a navy for many reasons, one of them being to prevent provoking the world powers of the time, France and Britain. On top of that, navies were very expensive to build and required a significant amount of resources to maintain, which the U.S. did not have at the time. To say that the United States Navy was ill prepared for war would be a dramatic understatement. The U.S. had a total of fifteen ships in its entire naval fleet compared to the might of the Royal Navy which possessed over six hundred warships. Even with the odds stacked against the U.S., President Madison declared war on 18 JUN 1812. The lack of size and power of the navy at the time would make it extremely difficult to satisfy the needs of the newly founded nation.

Since its formation during the early years of our nation the United States Navy has always stood out among other militaries, playing a vital role in the protection of our own country as well as the rest of the world. Founded upon the core values of honor, courage, and commitment the Navy has continued to uphold its men and women to exceptionally high moral, mental, and physical standards for nearly 240 years. It is my favorite branch of the military and becoming an officer in it has been a goal of mine for a long time.

Thank you and please believe me when I say, the pleasure was mine. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to work with you and your staff. I know we will have a long lasting and rewarding relationship. I believe God has blessed me with a gift to communicate and I learn something every time.

Selfishness, overblown sense of worth, and indecisiveness are certain traits that seem to appear more frequently in today’s leadership due to an ineffectual advancement process. The Navy’s advancement process consist of a standardized test, Navy wide rating quotas, and evaluations which may or may not accurately reflect the person’s being. Certain aspects of these rolls and processes need to be changed to more accurately reflect those qualities that are required to be an effective leader in today’s Navy.

Mentoring may be considered as a tool to support the ongoing development and success of people undertaking a new role or new within the organisation altogether. As a means of introduction to my workplace the Boatswains Faculty, which is a sub organisation of Training Authority Maritime Warfare (TAMW) within the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) new staff go through an induction period to ensure they hold the necessary knowledge and skills to teach. Throughout this essay, I will refer to correspondence with a mentee, mentor and supervisor within my workplace. I have changed the names of the correspondence for privacy reasons. I will analyse the mentoring scheme its strengths and weaknesses, and the perceptions of those interviewed on its effectiveness, my mentoring progress and strategies for the ongoing development of my roles as a mentor.

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have become a quickly growing part of the aviation community over the last five to ten years. More and more of these aircraft are flying in the National Airspace System (NAS) with each passing year, without any set rules governing their operation. With the growing population of UAS in the NAS, for military, civil, and commercial use, the need for regulation is becoming increasingly obvious. How to regulate this type of aircraft is no simple task. Taking into consideration the many factors of these aircraft such as size, purpose, who is using them, and location of use, it is difficult to determine what regulation is required. That is the task that has been set before the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). To determine what type of regulation is needed to integrate and ensure the safe operation of UAS in the NAS since the skies that they share are shared with manned aircraft.

My goal in life is to serve our country as a United States Naval Officer. Growing up in a family surrounded by military personnel has made an immense impact on my life and will allow me to understand what it takes to be one of our nations finest leaders. I have witnessed firsthand the dedication, hard work, and sacrifices made by my father while serving in the United States Air Force and I am eager to use the values that he has instilled in me since an early age. Although a tradition of military service is common in my family, it has never been an innate verdict for me to serve. Serving in the United States Navy (USN) is a personal choice and I recognize the responsibilities that come with commissioning as a Naval Officer. I trust the USN will provide exceptional training and career enhancing opportunities that will allow me to develop into a top-notch officer.

If I am fortunate enough to be appointed to the Coast Guard Academy, I intend to select Government as my academic major under the Humanities Department. As stated on the Coast Guard Academy website, the Government major is a challenging academic program which prepares its students for success in a wide variety of careers. When I made the decision to apply to the Coast Guard Academy, an important factor for applying was the hope for a future where I could constantly challenge others to improve both themselves and their community. Whether it be onboard a Coast Guard cutter in the middle of the ocean or at a policy office surrounded by land, I plan to apply the lessons learned from my academic major so that I can successfully lead others to enhance

Since the very beginning it was first established, the Coast Guard was never seen as important to the people for about 200 years. Why is it that they’ve never had notice? How come they do all the dirty work in the ocean and no one seems to care? Well the Coast Guard is the reason why the United States has been protected, so that we can go to bed at night knowing that nothing’s going to happen to us. There are many reasons to why the Coast Guard is so important to society. The U.S. Coast is a huge part of our military and follows certain goals on the ocean to protect us from harm. There are also individuals who are aware of the situations that the Coast Guards are going through and by helping they get involved with some of the minor

The drone market has skyrocketed over the past couple of years and shows no intention of slowing down. With that, reports of nuisance drone activity have also increased, placing those in authority in a precarious situation on what to do with these unmanned crafts. Over the past few years the U.S. military has been testing tactics and technologies that would counter the ever-rising drone threat - in an annual exercise called Black Dart.

The NPUAS TS is leading the nation in UAS detection and counter-UAS technology. It is the only FAA approved test site capable of immediately developing UAS detection and counter-UAS technology. This is due to is world-class facilities, innovative technologies and ability to test real world scenarios in controlled, uncontrolled and restricted airspace and rural and urban environments. Additionally, the NPUAS TS’s partnership with the National Guard and Grand Forks Air Force Base allows for access to various assets and airspace. No other test site has such access, which permits the NPUAS TS to support military and/or classified missions and research.

The MQ-1 has caught the attention of numerous other countries such as Canada who are interested in implementing the Predator system into their military operations. The Predator is primarily used by the USAF and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The CIA has had an interest in drones since the 1980’s and helped oversee some of the first test flights and training involving the RQ-1 system. :(Baglole, 2014). With 500,000 flight hours on over 50,000 flights. The MQ-1 Predator met the requirements for initial operating capability (IOC) in February 2005. :(“Predator RQ-1 / MQ-1 / MQ-9 Reaper UAV, United States of America”, 2014). A total of 300,000 flight hours were accumulated in September 2007. Over 80 percent of the 300,000 were achieved during combat missions. :(“ RQ-1A/MQ-1 Predator UAV”, 2014)
