Military Bearing in Context of the US Navy

In the United States NAVY, military bearing is the root in which every service member practices in order to carry out good discipline and ethics throughout ones military careers. The Eleven General Orders of a Sentry, The Articles of the UCMJ, as well as our own Sailors Creed illustrates how a military service member should conduct himself or herself on a daily basis, on and off duty.

During my tenure with NTB, I have undertaken complex engineering and project work within the boundaries of the Navy Technical Regulatory Framework (NTRF) to successfully deliver technical products and services for the acquisition and sustainment of Minor War Vessels (MWV) for the RAN. In the naval context, these includes specification and validation of compliance with Platform System Requirements for the current and future ships through the development of material specification for maritime capability certification assurance process and provide technical naval system advice to naval community that is accurate, on time and pragmatic.

In the thirty-eight years of the United States Naval Submarine Service no United States submarine had ever sunk an enemy vessel. With the ignition of the Second World War the poorly equipped and poorly trained Silent Service, nicknamed for the limited access of the media to the actions and achievements of the submarines, would be thrust into the position American submariners had longed for. The attack on Pearl Harbor left the United States Navy with few options for retribution. The three remaining aircraft carriers were to be “the last line of defense.” Commander Stuart S. Murray made the precarious situation clear to his skippers, captains, upon sending them on their first war patrol. He stressed the importance of smart sailing by

In North America many of the new colonies participated in free shipping trading with counties all over the world with little interference by Britain. However after the French and Indian which ended in 1763 the British wanted to recover the money they lost to supplying the war on multiple continents using tariffs and restrictions on colonial trade they did see an increase in revenue during that period. They did so by implementing a series of tariffs such as sugar acts, stamp acts, and the navigation acts limiting colonists on foreign trade. Colonists would only take so much of Britain’s oppression. Looking at these intolerable acts as limits to their freedoms without proper representation or say in parliament, colonists took action. On

I fire off the first question, so tell me, Sir, how long did you serve in the military? he quickly replied, "Twenty-seven years, two world war. I served in Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait. This was my last duty station where I retired after ten years. eagerly I listened as he proudly display his heroism. So what would you say is the real mission of this base? he lift his head without hesitancy he replied, " The mission include keeping our troop actively ready to defend with our electronic combat capabilities, training our officers and enlisted personnel and conducting research and development on cutting-edge military technology to combat any war they may encounter'. I nodded in agreement while taking the notes as fast as he said them. I went on, Is there any specific role that the base fills? He replied "This base is the largest naval aviation installation in the Pacific Northwest. It is also one of the four naval installations forming the Navy Region

The mission of the USS Ronal Reagan is to prevail in all operations from peace to war as the cornerstone of Carrier Strike Group Five capability to sustain presence, project power and to fight and win decisively from the sea. The Vision is to achieve readiness and victory in combat by excelling in the basics and to maintain the highest standards of professionalism, operational and technical competence, and material readiness (USS Ronald Reagan, 2016). An aircraft carrier organization is led by the Commanding Officer followed by the Executive Officer and then Department Head. There are several Departments aboard an aircraft Carrier, this paper will discuss the Weapons Department. All Nimitz class aircraft carrier departments are organized the same. The Weapons Department is led by the Weapons Officer and broken down into five Divisions; G-1 Flight Deck, G-2 Armory, G-3 Weapons Assembly, G-4 Elevators, and G-5 Ordnance Control. The Weapons Department is responsible for the security, stowage, breakout, handing, issue and shipment of all conventional weapons and explosive devices on-board the ship. In order to defend itself and support the embarked carrier air wing, the aircraft carrier has to be loaded with certain types of ordnance to complete that task (USS George Bush, 2016).

I was directed to write an essay on the importance of military bearing. Ironically, this tasking was due to a lapse in my personal ability to maintain and display my own military bearing. It is my intention that through my writing I will be able to not only express the significance of said bearing, but also to provide an insight to my own opinions and values pertaining to it, both professionally and personally.

The United States of America has been involved in many different conflicts, foreign and domestic, popular and unpopular, spanning across four centuries and all corners of the globe. From the warm coastal waters of the American homeland to the atolls of the Pacific, from the winding inland rivers of Vietnam to the chokepoint at the Strait of Hormuz, American sailors have valiantly stood up to defend America’s interests at home and abroad. The Navy has had to continuously update its vessels and technologies in order to keep up with the rapidly changing times, and ensure we not only stay competitive with but surpass the foreign competition. No other period in history has undergone the swift technological evolution that our troops experience

1. Today when looking at members of the Coast Guard there is very little difference in uniform to distinguish the senior enlisted and Officer Corps from that of the Junior Enlisted Corps. The Coast Guard believes that there is a distinct difference between a First Class Petty Officer and a Chief but has gone away from making that difference easy to see from a distance. The Navy goes so far as to change the entire color and style of their uniform as well as the change of the combination cover when a member is advanced to the pay grade of E-7. This is due to the belief that the amount of responsibility one takes on with this advancement warrants the clear delineation, one that can be seen right away. Furthermore, even today when going through the Chiefs Call to Indoctrination process, all Navy and Coast Guard Chiefs build a hat box solely for the purpose of housing their new combination cover, a cover that in today’s Coast Guard members have been wearing since boot camp. The Coast Guard used to make the same uniform change as the Navy, and we have strayed from this tradition, strayed at the cost of a loss of respect in this advancement. The Coast Guard should visibly distinguish E-7 and above by making a change in the uniform regulations and making E-7 and above only authorized to wear the combination cover.

The chapter was about how Perry conducted himself in meetings and how he approached the way he lived his life and the way people saw him as a leader. An aura that Perry surrounded himself in was one of dignity and respect, this aura was reflected in his sailors was well in the way that they conducted themselves and in their appearance. All these things that Perry and his sailors did relate back to military bearing. Thinking back on some experiences where military bearing played a key role in what I was doing, I think of the performance review boards that I have had in the past. The reason that bearing paly such a key role in the PRBs is because the officers sitting on my board were not only looking at the reason for me being but how I handled

The current amphibious concepts and capabilities of the US ensure that we are better prepared to conduct forcible entry operations than we were during the landing at Inchon, and subsequent liberation of Seoul. Amphibious concepts, such as seabasing, amphibious command and control (C2), and the Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) allow forces to project power across domains. Proof of concept exercises like Bold Alligator continue to refine our amphibious capability to provide flexible, scalable, responsive forces that can conduct a multitude of missions. Inchon, during the Korean War, highlights the benefit of maneuver warfare and joint operations. However, security operations, intelligence, and speed were deficient during Operation CHROMITE. World War II demonstrated a lack of preparedness to conduct amphibious operations in the Pacific by the US and Great Britain. The Pacific Campaign and Inchon prove the need to maintain a professional amphibious force and the importance of concepts like seabasing, C2, and the ESG in amphibious operations. Applying the concepts of seabasing, C2, and the ESG in joint exercises with platforms such as Maritime Prepositioning Force, multipurpose amphibious assault ships (LHD), Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC), AV-8B Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing (VSTOL) jets, and MV-22 tilt rotor aircraft ensure that we are better prepared to conduct forcible entry operations than we were during the landing at Inchon, and subsequent liberation of Seoul.

Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) Archaeologist Dr. George Schwarz was joined by more than 45 volunteers from nearly a dozen organizations wading through dense vegetation and sifting through Florida sand Feb. 18-20 in the hopes of finding more clues to a Navy aircraft crash that happened more than seven decades ago.

At all hours of the day, one can look out into the waters surrounding U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and identify one of the Coast Guard’s 32-foot Transportable Port Security Boats. The Coast Guard, known as the Maritime Security Detachment here, patrols the bay’s Southern and Northern Boundaries protecting and securing it from the unexpected; of which can come in many forms and at a moment’s notice. Such an event was simulated by the MARSEC DET and the Marine Corps Security Force Company here, April 26, as a drill designed for both the Coast Guard and Marines in maintaining the readiness of Medical Evacuations.

Bearing is a mechanical element that permits relative motion between two parts, such as the shaft and the housing, with minimum friction. The functions of the bearing are as follows:
