Navy Narrative Report

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.

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.

Since freshman year, the Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program has been an invisible hand of guidance that strived to bring out the best in me. This longstanding program has an impact on me in ways so innovative, it is impossible to find another program filled with diverse exhibitions of life lessons, discipline, and teamwork. JROTC has given me a lifelong readiness to combat the harsh realities of the real world that exist, which in return has helped me better myself and my community in contributions to being a citizen in the United States of America.

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.

The Navy is uniquely different from the other armed forces when promoting E-6 to E-7. In the Army, Air Force and the Marines Corps, an E-6 is advance to E-7. In the. Eligibility does not guarantee advancement. Every First Class Petty Officer, E-6, eligible for advance to Chief, E-7, undergoes a massive selection and ranking board. Board members consist of Master Chiefs, E-9, the highest enlisted rank, who hand select which of the eligible First Class Petty Officers will be advance to Chief. According to the Navy Times each year 3,811 to 4,352 Sailors are eligibly for advancement to Chief. However only 15% of those eligible Sailors, roughly 1 in 7, make Chief each year (Faram 2015). Once

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.

I have had much academic and practical training which is relevant to this position. I have recently graduated from the Fort Still Noncommissioned Officer Academy, where I took the WLC (Warrior Leader Course). Upon completion, I was awarded the NCO

Considered the “backbone of the Army,” the Army NCO corps is facing a massive shortage of qualified Soldiers thanks to the down-sizing of military forces after a decade and a half of wars, and the seasoned NCOs either separating from the military, retiring, or recovering from combat related injuries. Through a Department of Defense policy that was implemented in 2005 to expand the NCO corps, which ultimately lowered the bar for promotion,

Have you ever thought of joining the JROTC? If so wait how about you learn the history behind JROTC first. In 1916, the Vitalization Act opened JROTC up to the other services and replaced most of the active duty instructors with retirees who would teach JROTC. High schools were given loan for federal military equipment and the assignment of active duty military personnel as instructors. JROTC has changed throughout the years. It was once used to find recruits and officer candidates. It than soon became a citizenship program to help improve moral, physical and educational strengths for high school students. It also made students learn discipline and order.

I was in the Marine Corps serving under Third battalion Eleventh marines Mike Battery in Twenty-Nine Palms California from 2009-2013. What our unit did was put rounds down range, oorah. We were an artillery battery, think modern day cannons. As far as twenty-nine palms all you have to imagine is sand in a five hundred square foot mile area. My job as Ammo chief was to insure the safe handling and transportation of hundred pound high explosive bombs. On one partially long training exercise I was instructed to take my marines and four ‘7-ton’ trucks and go to the rear to load up with more ammo. No problem, I’ve done this before but on this occasion when I was going to return the battery would have moved positions. So they gave me the grid number

I HAVE BEEN IN THE SEA CADETS PROGRAM SINCE EARLY 2011. I HAVE ATTENDED FOUR FIVE STEM TRAININGS WITH THE SEA CADETS AND WILL BE A JUBGE AT A NATIONAL SEA PERCH QUALIFIER WHILE SCUBA DIVING. I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING MY PRIVATE PILOT'S LICENSE. I COMPLETED THE GROUND SCHOOL PORTION WITH THE SEA CADETS AND RECEIVED A B GRAGE. I ALSO HAVE MY BASIC AND ADVANCED SCUBA LICENSES THROUGH PADI. I AM ALSO IN THE PROGRESS OF COMPLETING MY PAPERWORK TO JOIN THE U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY LATER THIS YEAR, SO THAT I CAN GET MORE EXPERIENCE IN THE COAST GUARD. I HAVE A STRONG NAVY AND MARINE CORPS BACKGROUND FROM THE SEA

I was well positioned to execute the duties as Maintenance Control Safe for Flight Chief through two arduous detachments and work up cycles. I surpassed all expectations up and down my chain of command and was awarded appropriately for my leadership actions. I thrive on the opportunities to lead while providing mentorship and guidance to Sailors and Marines alike. My record of accomplishments as a professional, leader, manager and mentor exemplifies the traits required and will ensure my success if selected.

Several months, I have been tossing the idea about joining the Navy. My family was aware about Navy was possibility option. Recently, I have contacted a Navy Recruiter, and I have not told my family about me talking to a recruiter. My family is important aspect of my life, so the conversation needs to happen sooner than later. When I bring up the Navy conversation, my intention would ease my family in acceptance of their daughter leaving the state. Joining the Navy would impact me and my family, and the impact on my family would tribute to the difficult conversation. In following joining the Navy would impact me and my family, and the impact on my family would tribute to the difficult conversation. Underlie feeling have huge impact on person’s attributions and judgement. A difficult conversation affects the identity of a person. Therefore, intention by the conversation was important.

I wanted to take this Opportunity to welcome you to ONI-0566. I just came to the unit in April and can tell you that this is a great organization. The Chiefs Mess is small, but they go to great links to make sure that every sailor has every tool needed to succeed.

You are following in the footsteps of those great NCOs who prepared the way for you. You can honor them by getting to know their history.
