Coast Guard Values

I try my best to be honest and keep my integrity no matter the consequence because as we know bad news does not age well with time, it gets worse. Enthusiasm is a great thing as well, no matter how hard things get if you have enthusiasm and a positive attitude you can pretty much over come anything that is thrown at you, and it’s also contagious even if you have to fake it, it will bring up the moral of your marines and they will in turn motivate you so it no longer is a fake motivation it’s a reality. Baring is important in ways. I don’t really have much to say on it because there isn’t much to it and I personally think it’s not something that is dire to have 100% down pat I guess. I mean yes it’s good to be able to have when the time comes but I guess I don’t find it that important. Next would be unselfishness. It’s a great this when you have junior marines, it shows them that you care about them and that you are willing to bend over backwards for them in they are in need. It makes it easy on the junior marines to approach their leader when they should. Courage is a also a great thing to have its like I said in enthusiasm if you show courage to stand up for what is right and what should be done other will follow and you will make a good name for yourself rather than your name be dragged through the dirt for the not so courageous actions. Knowledge is always a good thing to have for any marine not just

I chose to enroll in the United States Navy Sea Cadet Corps for two main reasons: my interests in military aircrafts and the idea that the U.S. Navy will open the doors to the world for me. I can say now that I have completed four years in this program, those two reasons were not the most important ones when looking back and reflecting on how the program has shaped me. I soon realized that being a cadet was not about doing what I liked at all times, but doing what I disliked as well for a long term benefit. During the program's long hour weekend drills and during my stay in the military base of Everett (Washington), it became clear to me that overcoming great challenges and helping others do the same, was a great reward. I was taught leadership

Currently there are 221, 29 foot Response Boat Small assets in the Coast Guards inventory. Of these assets, all were made with hardened tempered glass. This paper will discuss a need to remove current glass and replace with automotive safety glass to reduce hazards to boat crews.

As stated in the first sentence” There are many values to military branches, Army specifically has seven values. Those seven Army values (in order) are Loyalty , Duty , Respect , Selfless – Service , Honor , Integrity , and Personal Courage.” In Basic Training we learn these values and are challenged with the simulation of what they mean in war , at work , and without your everyday battle buddies. No matter if you do 4 for 30 years in service you grow to learn that there are those who are like family and not following the orders of the army can put a sort of embarrassment on yourself and those you've grown to know and call team / teammate. As I close with my views on values within the army / military services I will include one more important fact to close with. No matter what is hurting or what goes on in your life there's always a teammate of yours you can reach out to. Too many people just give up with their time in or they just don't care. As a whole we should pick up those who are falling and pick them up to fight on. The sharpest sword can cut through thin air , if we aren't fighting for one another and are against ourselves based off of ones performance the fight wont be in favor. Blood doesn't make us family , failure wont pull us apart , you fall 7 times , stand up 8 ; Loyalty makes you family and time heals. As one disobeying can be limited, the process isn't always the same. I will

“I am a United States Sailor. I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and I will obey the orders of those appointed over me. I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy and those who have gone before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world. I proudly serve my country’s Navy combat team with Honor, Courage and Commitment. I am committed to excellence and the fair treatment of all.” When I say the Sailor 's Creed I do not just mindlessly recite a few meaningless words and call it a day. These words represent the core responsibilities taken on by those who serve in our Navy, and therefore, are the cornerstones by which I serve and carry out my day to day job. As a Second Class Petty Officer of the Navy and a Collateral Duty Inspector for multiple work centers I have a responsibility to my shipmates, my command and my Navy. Faltering in or disregarding these responsibilities can result in the loss of time, aircraft, friends, family and life as a whole. An act unforgivable by all and a constant reminder of the burden placed upon me. The impacts of my actions as a Second Class Petty Officer and as a Collateral Duty Inspector go past me, my family, my work center and even my own command. I have the ability to affect and even destroy every aspect of another sailor’s life or family just with a single irresponsible action. I can cause the destruction of a single part or an entire aircraft. Every action and decision I make has an equal

Current Coast Guard policy, reference (a), relies entirely on the Decedent Affairs Officer (DAO) as a collateral duty. This responsibility for coordinating support services related to active duty, reserve and dependents deaths is extremely time consuming and detracts from a DAO’s normal duties. The lack of a full time DAO to provide assistance to the family or next of kin (NOK) is stressful and emotionally draining on the individual. The Decedent Affairs Officer needs to be streamlined into a full time position under the command of the Personnel Service Center

I am here today to relay upon you all, something that I have failed to abide by: the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS (USMC) CORE VALUES: Honor, Courage, and Commitment. I will be accurate to the best of my abilities and knowledge and use all of my available resources. This essay will be done in a military manner and will indeed be tactful. I will follow the orders of the format that was given to me by my Officer in Charge: Second Lieutenant Gage. It will be done correctly and on time not a day, second, or minute late. With this essay I am confident that my peers, my Noncommissioned Officers, Staff Noncommissioned Officers, Officers, and Commanding Officers will see it through that I know and understand

The process for certification as an Officer in Charge (OIC) in the U.S. Coast Guard is confusing. The certification process is not based on Personal Qualification Standards, or Terminal Performance Objectives. As a result, the OIC Review boards are largely subjective and not standard throughout the service. There is a need to analyze the effectiveness of the Officer In Charge certification process. This analysis should include the identification of knowledge/performance critical to the duties of the OIC, the proper method of delivery for the terminal performance objectives, and the standard to attain certification. The goal of the analysis should be to make the OIC certification objective, and standardizing the process across the service.

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

Membership to the Boat Forces Advisory Council will allow me an opportunity to assist in shaping the Boat Forces community and to provide insight to a consistently evolving mission. I feel the Coast Guard forms policy and procedures based off of operational, ‘deck plate’ level feedback and insight. My operational background and experience on several different platforms as well as the collateral duties I have held have provided me with experience and insight that I believe would be beneficial to senior leadership. This opportunity provides me an avenue to ensure future boat operators are not subjected to unnecessary risk by helping to shape and improve the current standards. I feel I have insight and experience to offer the Boat Forces Advisory

1. According to the Coast Guard Chief of Casualty Matters, there are inaccuracies on seventy-five percent of all required annual verification forms received from the field following a personnel casualty. The magnitude of the information contained within these forms is not being properly relayed to our members. To become proficient in collecting required documentation, the Coast Guard needs to eliminate inaccuracies on the Designation of Beneficiaries and Record of Emergency Data Form (CG 2020D) (ref (c)), Service Members Group Life Insurance Election and Certificate Form (SGLV 8286) (ref (d)) and the Family Coverage Election Form (SGLV 8286A) (ref (e)). Additionally, the Coast Guard must mandate that all annual verifications be electronically

Honor our traditions. The Coast Guard is highly regarded throughout the world. The men and women who went before us set a high standard. While we must continually try and improve ourselves and our service, we can never forget where we have come from. Our history is the foundation of our greatness and provides the strength we need to face tomorrow’s challenges.

It is with great pride and tremendous pleasure I offer my strongest possible recommendation for Jacob R. Carse to the Coast Guard Academy Class of 2022.

When I entered the Coast Guard, I learned that even though I did complete tasking satisfactorily, I wasn’t working hard. I didn’t grasp the concept that the work was never over. I would complete tasks, and then think I was finished. Thankfully, I had an outstanding mentor and leader. Specifically a hard charging Chief Boatswain’s Mate named John Brennan. He instilled in me the idea that to succeed, I needed to work hard. Working hard in the Coast Guard means enduring hours of

People joining the Coast Guard to become a real life hero. The U.S. government faces a serious problem protecting the home-front and, to protect a country, we need heroes. People can be a hero by joining the U.S. Coast Guard and protecting America before the threat hits American soil. As a child we all have heroes.
