Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States, as well as the Secretary of the Navy prior to his presidency. The man was a known intellectual, with strong diplomatic skills and a strong sense of accomplishing the mission. One of these missions was the establishment of a strong permanent Navy that would become one of the largest in the world, establishing the United States as imperialistic country, ready to make its mark. The building of the “Great White Fleet” is proof of this mission, as he established the 2nd largest most modern Navy in the world at the time. Roosevelt writes to a close friend named Cecil Spring-Rice, "I have steadfastly preached a big navy, and I have with equal steadfastness seen that our navy is practiced until I have reason to believe that ship for ship it is as efficient as any.” 1 Within a short period of time he developed new naval tactics, nearly doubled the enlisted strength of the Navy, and increased the number of officers by about twenty per cent.

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.
