Selection to Chief Petty Officer Since I joined in the Navy, my goal was to make Chief Petty Officer to consider my career a successful one. At one point in my career, I was in doubt to achieve that goal due to I was a Second Class Petty Officer for eight long years. Then, in my last attempt prior to my high year tenure, I finally made First Class Petty Officer. In August 5, 2015, I left work around 0400 in the morning, because I was working night check at the time. My wife and I tried to go to sleep, but we just continue talking about “the most famous phone call”. The first text message received was from AT1 Nurse. We did not believe it. A minute after his text, my phone got crazy with the amount of text messages congratulating me …show more content…
Most of the junior sailors come from backgrounds where education and professionalism is missing due to unstable financial stability, lack of parent involvement or just trying to make money the easy way. We as Navy leaders, have the task to assist those sailors to achieve their goals. First of all, we need to continue training junior sailors. Training is a crucial tool for them to become technical experts and subject matter experts. It is in our hands to make sure that all juniors’ sailors are well-trained, mentally, professionally, and personally. They have an entire tool box of resources, programs and opportunity that many of us did not have during our early years in the Navy. It is our job to show them where they can find them and how to use them. Also, we have to keep in mind that we are not only train sailors, we are training our replace; we need to train leaders. Education is another essential piece that we need to keep advertising, especially when they can complete a degree at no cost. But to be successful and guide in the right direction, we need to know them first. If we take time to know them, we can determine what are they are looking for. I believe that no major changes need to be made because the opportunities and programs are out there. The challenge will be to engage them and keep them on
Upon completion of the my bachelor’s degree, acceptance through the ECP, Officer Candidate School, The Basic School, Initial Intelligence Training, and Military Occupational Specialty Intelligence Training, I will receive orders back to the Fleet Marine Forces. The move from the enlisted ranks to the officer ranks may be very confusing, but this goal can be accomplished as long as I stay focused and move one step at a time.

In A Chief Lieutenant, Jackson recovers the lived experience of oppression in Mississippi during the early-twentieth century. While cognizant of the extraordinary brutality that lay beneath the legal apparatus of segregation, he focuses upon the constraints institutionalized racism imposed upon a black middle class that nevertheless strove to make Mound Bayou a haven. His depiction of Charles Banks, an admiring one, confirms historian Robert Kenzer's observation that successful African Americans in the South "were forced to live very public lives in which they faced constant scrutiny not only from other blacks but also from whites."[2] As for Mound Bayou, it is worth remembering that those who fought for African American empowerment saw
The Royal Canadian Air Cadets is an example of a community activity that I have actively taken many leadership roles in. Having served the Royal Canadian Air Cadets for more than four years with the 540 Golden Hawks Squadron, I partake in various activities. I have also learned numerous invaluable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and confidence, all of which are not spoon-fed to us, but rather acquired from the experiences that I have been through with cadets. We are constantly coached and supervised by Officers who encourage us to lead others. As we age and climb up the ranks, we are encountered with many leadership opportunities that we are strongly encouraged to take.
Those who were within my chain of command understood that I was fully able to do my current job but did not allow me to get a pass when it came to a personal choice that I made. By the chain Commanding Officer not condoning my actions and reducing me to the rank of second class Petty Officer impacted me in a way that would change the course of my outlook not only professionally but also personally. Being reduced in rank forced me to look it myself and my actions differently. I no longer utilized the lenses that I previously used. I had to humble myself, understand that certain personal actions were not acceptable and finally, I had to make a solid decision to change how a balanced everything that I do in life. This process was not a simple process but a process that caused me to search deep inside me of to figure out how to survive both professionally and personally. What I learned through this process is that “Life is like photography. You need the negatives to develop.” With that being understood, I decided that I would not allow my negative actions define my future work ethics or
Becoming a Chief Petty Officer is a significant accomplishment in the life of a Sailor. It is a rank that is honored and respected by officers and junior Sailors. The Navy is the only branch that conducts Chief Petty Officer Initiation training; therefore E-7’s from other branches may elect and benefit from the training. The foundation of the Chief Petty Officer was established on April 1, 1893, and it remains strong due to the past and present chiefs who take pride in their heritage. Being a Chief Petty Officer means assuming greater responsibility as a leader, upholding standards, carrying on a legacy, training, and ensuring junior Sailors promote.
So Mr. Governor, I ask you this question; if I was reasoning like a 5th grader just like the psych doctor said and my comprehension skills are at a 5th-grade level, so how did I manage to pass the entry level of becoming a Correctional Officer? how did I pass the academy and became an Officer for three years and some months now? then again, how did I manage to graduate with honors from Coppin State University, where I obtained a Bachelor degree in Criminal Justice and a Forensic Science certificate? Most importantly, if I was to be at a 5th-grade level, how come I had an Associate degree in Law Enforcement and Correctional Administration, at Baltimore City Community College? And presently Mr. Governor, I’m doing my master’s program at American
It was September 30th 2015 and I was coming off Active Duty Orders working for the Indiana Army National Guard Military Funeral Honors Team. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do next. When I went to Joint Forces Headquarters to pick up my DD Form 214, I ran into the Sergeant Major that was in charge of Recruiting and Retention for Indiana. I talked to him a little bit and he asked me if I had ever thought about becoming a recruiter. I told him that I have thought about it, but everyone I knew, told me that I couldn’t handle the stress of being a recruiter. Sergeant Major told me that the excuse I gave him should motivate me even more to be a recruiter. I told him that I would sleep on it and call him in the morning. The next morning, I called Sergeant Major and told him that I was ready to accept the challenge and be a RRNCO (Recruiting and Retention Non-Commissioned Officer).
Correctional Officer’s have been around for a very long time and were designed to keep major offenders off the street after they have been arrested by the Police. The offenders are put in a holding cell at a Pre Trial Centre awaiting their court date.

As my knowledge grew it came with reasonability and promotions. But, I still got in trouble but each time I learned from it. I’m 19 now and I’m in charge of a 20 million dollar jet aircraft. The Navy made me see that attention to detail should be your priority just behind safety. I learned that slow is fast on some jobs. You don’t always have time to do rework on something you rushed to get done. So taking your time could mean your life or your shipmates.
Earning the rank of NCO in the Marine Corps is a difficult feat and it is the mentor’s job to guide his mentees on a path that would have them attain not only the next rank but also any goals they may have set out for themselves. No one can put the mentorship program in any better words than Gen John A. Lejeune himself. He once said “One must put himself in the place of those whom he would lead; he must have a full understanding of their thoughts, their attitude, their emotions, their aspirations, and their ideals; and he must embody in his/her own character the virtues which he would instill into the hearts of his/her followers.”. Which in my interpretation I believe him to be saying Not only does the Marine
