Petty Officer Browning Accomplishments

The accomplishment of the mission and the welfare of ones Soldiers. These two basic responsibilities are at the heart of what it is to be a Non Commissioned Officer. They are in essence the yardstick in which to measure the success on an NCO. However, there is more to being an NCO than just ensuring the mission is accomplished and ones Soldiers are taken care of both on and off duty. There are three major principles, which define Leadership, Purpose, Motivation and Direction. (ADP 6-22, 2012) Not only does a Non Commissioned Officer need to provide these three things in order to accomplish the mission and take care of their Soldiers, but the Non Commissioned Officer also needs purpose, direction and motivation from his Superiors.

From a young age I have always been in control of my life. Through trials and tribulations I have learned that life does not always go as I planned. I had a goal to attend the United States Naval Academy to pursue a career as a Naval officer. Instead, I received an appointment to the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS), which would delay my entry into the Naval Academy by one year, if I graduated NAPS.The Navy prides itself on its high physical standards, except I did not meet those physical standards and was considered overweight. During my year at NAPS, I continually struggled with my weight. While I was able to pass the physical fitness test, I was not within the weight limit and would fail every time. I told myself that if I just try harder, that I will eventually make the weight

The Warrant Officer Corp has a long military history of producing subject matter experts in various technical fields. These Soldiers have been sought out by higher leadership to provide recommendations and expertise knowledge on specific topics. As the future of the Army continues to change, so does the Warrant Officer Corp. The traditional Warrant Officer is now experiencing a multitude of changes to include becoming immaterial. According to Merriam-Webster, the word immaterial is defined as “not important or significant.” The idea of a subject matter expert becoming less important to the Army is alarming and causing concern amongst the ranks. Senior staff members are already aware that Warrant Officers are subject matter experts, therefore they want to incorporate them into future leaders serving on their team. To accept and conquer change we must look at the past so we can better understand our relevance for the future.

“You are the new Leading Petty Officer”, a phrase uttered to me by a volunteer adult leader as a 15 year old Naval Sea Cadet following the division’s tragic loss of two petty officers, in what the media dubbed as the “Hail Mary Murder” (reference a). A year into my experience as a Sea Cadet, when the senior youth leader died at the hands of another cadet petty officer. A third senior cadet, who’s relationship was close to the other two, dropped out of the program as he couldn’t bear the trauma of coming back to the division. That left me next in the cadet chain of command. At 15 years old, this unfortunate event put me in charge of about 20 other teenagers, all reeling from the loss of our friends and youth leaders. To say nothing of the fact that getting a new role in this manner is terrible, it happened, and together we needed to help the unit recover and move on with our teenaged lives.

Shore support Electronics Technicians (ETs) will soon have little direct experience on the Cutters they are expected to support. The Coast Guard is fielding new platforms at an accelerated pace. National Security (NSC) and Fast Response Cutters (FRC) are currently challenging the way the Electronics Technician rating provides support. As per reference (a), the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) is anticipated to follow the NSC model, further compounding the challenges the ET rate will experience in the future. While the Coast Guard has implemented a program known as 1-3-1 to mitigate training shortages for WMSL Support Teams (WST), this solely addresses weapon systems.
