Discipline, Success, And The Navy Core Values

After reading over the document, stating the core values, I can easily relate to Delta Defense. I find that these values are similar, if not identical to the ones I try my best to live by. Whether it be through work or my personal life, the phrases that Delta Defense lives by should be the way everyone lives.

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.

Honor, Courage, and Commitment are the back bone to the U.S. Navy they infuse the Navy with a living life blood an unfaultable force. Honor to me is associated with pride not the seven deadly sins pride, but more like taking a personal ownership in all that you do so that you present your absolute best every time. As an officer this is the standard that should be strived for and extended upon; the taking of ownership not only of tasks, but the well being of your sailors as well. Courage to me has many forms it could be that sailor/soldier who gets a soft whisper in their ear that tells them to enlist so they can stand on the front lines to protect others, or the kid who takes his and others fears and takes a stand against the playground

The announcement by the Navy to reinstore rating titles was welcomed with enthusiasm by almost all personnel. The initial decision to remove them was looked at by the majority of navy sailors as an affront to centuries of tradition. Sailors take a great deal of pride in not only their branch and ship, but also at a more personnel level they take pride in their accomplishments in their chosen career path. By removing the rating titles and going to a strict rank and

I believe that the United States Coast Guard consists of people who are the best of the best. Being in the Coast Guard means more than what most people may think. I know joining the armed forces means I have to be willing to serve my country and take any actions necessary to defend it, which may include giving my life to protect others. The Coast Guard’s three core values encompass the mental capacity needed in order to do so. The three values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty are vital to holding any position in the Coast Guard. Honor is more than just a word. It helps define who you are, what you believe in and is a statement of your character. Honor is not something a person can ask for, it must be earned. It is gained alongside with

As the recruiting goals in the Navy continue to increase it would seem as if the Navy’s numbers for First Term Sailor retention (Zone A up to six years) would increase also, this is not the case though. Senior Leaders need to be aware of the amount of Sailors that are discharging prior to or at their first term because it is causing the Navy to have a high turnover rate and not allowing for a strong fleet with continuity. This paper will discuss the attrition of first term Sailors, what is causing these Sailors to discharge early, and how the Navy can take a proactive approach to retain the best Sailors for the future of the Navy.

The work conditions in the U.S. Navy varys. If you are a recruit you do not get treated with respect. You will have to be able to

The Federal government convened an emergency meeting to address this challenge. As a control measure, it adopted integrity among the entire Navy as a core value. On top of this, it increased the perks and benefits accorded to the Marine Corps to curb the temptations of being bribed. In the current times, integrity is crucial in the Navy.

     The US Navy has founded its self with being an organization that will train and activate skilled combat naval personnel. The official mission statement taken off their web site states, “The mission of the Navy is to maintain, train and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas.” (http://www.navy.com) The Navy also prides itself on the adventurous spirit it takes to embark on a career in the navy. The slogan used in getting new recruits is “Accelerate your life“. These statements suggest that the Navy is not only clear in its purpose and design, but also dedicated to its end. The clarity of its mission is seen in the

“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

The values and beliefs of the Naval Academy and the people who stand for them is what attracted me. Serving my country as well as continuing my education is important to me. The Naval Academy would prepare me to become a successful officer and allow me to earn my degree. Attending Summer Seminar gave me a glimpse of not only what I'd be doing, but who I'd be working with. My squad leader impressed upon us that no matter how determined someone is, they can’t make it through the academy alone. I have been a part of teams my entire life and love that mindset at the Naval Academy. Surrounding myself with people who have strong ideals and hold themselves and others to a high standard is something I desire. Attending the Naval Academy would allow

Statement of Purpose As a direct result of personal determination and relentless support from influential leaders, I have thrived from my experiences and successes in the Navy. I have become a young and committed leader who has been instilled with the Navy's Core Values. I owe much to the Navy and the leaders who supported me thus far. I will repay the Navy by becoming a strong leader, manager, and Officer.

Leadership in the Coast Guard is the process of guiding and inspiring others toward closer adherence to the core values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty. Leadership is a set of behaviors rather than just a set of ideals. Ideals are good, but ideals without the corresponding behaviors are useless. The best way to guide others is to show by example; a true leader not only speaks out in favor of the core values, but also exhibits them in their daily life.

Today's Navy is based on the History and traditions of our rich past. A tradition is defined as the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, etc., from generation to generation, especially by word of mouth or by practice. I am going to talk to you about one the these Naval traditions and that is the Change of Command. Most of this tradition is passed down from Navy Regulations as there are not many sources about it other then Navy Regulations. The 1st mention of the ceremony of Navy regulations date back to the Civil War and very little has changed since then. So in short a Change of Command is the formal passing of responsibility, authority, and accountability of command from one officer to another with the presence of the crew to observe. It is rather a formal event so usually the dress is full dress blues or whites with swords.
