The Military And Its Structure, Order And Discipline Of The Servicemen And Servicewoman

Every single soldier has a role in the Army. Hierarchy is the Army’s capstone. These way lower level commanders like company commanders, platoon commander, platoon sergeants are in charge to develop the Direct Leadership. Direct Leaders use the face-to-face contact with those under their orders. They are responsible for develop the basic skills in

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.

The Army in an extremely nostalgic organization with a copious amount traditions and has about a million different methods of conducting its business. Some are old and some are new, but possibly the oldest one that has been around since before the Army was officially established and still lives today is the Armys rules, regulations and policies on customs and courtesies. In this form of a remedial block of instruction given to me by my team leader, due to certain circumstances I am to explain the Armys customs and courtesies and the importance they have always and still do hold within the Army.

Most of the junior sailors come from backgrounds where education and professionalism is missing due to unstable financial stability, lack of parent involvement or just trying to make money the easy way. We as Navy leaders, have the task to assist those sailors to achieve their goals. First of all, we need to continue training junior sailors. 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. Education is another essential piece that we need to keep advertising, especially when they can complete a degree at no cost. But to be successful and guide in the right direction, we need to know them first. If we take time to know them, we can determine what are they are looking for. I believe that no major changes need to be made because the opportunities and programs are out there. The challenge will be to engage them and keep them on

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

Five characteristics define the Army as a Profession. These characteristics are honorable service, stewardship of the profession, military expertise, esprit de corps, and trust. According to ADRP 1-0, as a military profession, our relationship with the American people is built on a foundation of trust continuously reinforced by the other four characteristics. Mission accomplishment, reputation, and survivability of the Army are all reliant on trust. Therefore, I believe that trust is the most important characteristic and is the bedrock of the Army’s relationship with the American people.

In the Military, do the Officer's ranks have grades (ie. 1, 2, 3 or 1st. 2nd. 3rd)? So that a person going from Ensign to Lieutenant be a grade 3 or 3rd? Accordingly, grade 2 or 2nd is full Lieutenant and therefore, a person moving from Lieutenant to Captain (Captain - Lieutenant) be a grade 1 or 1st? Or is there a grade above 1 and below 3 for the ones being promoted? I have no idea.......

There are very few things in the modern military of today or any military that has ever existed before our current military for that matter, that are more important than the rank structure and the the respect that is demanded of you by that rank structure. Those are two very important characteristics of every successful military unit. With added details here and there, in this essay I will mainly be discussing what respect actually is, how being respected is normally earned and in the military how it is demanded of you as a sub-ordinate to any ranks higher than you or in some cases any fellow military personnel who is more senior to you and why. On top of that I will be covering

On September 29, 2016, the U. S. Navy announced that it would modernize the enlisted ratings of the Navy. The plan includes the installation of occupational specialty codes. These codes are similar to those used in the other services. The plan also called for sailors to be referred to by only their rank, such as Petty Officer First Class. The modernization of the enlisted rating system has caused morale issues in the fleet, makes job field detailing better, and aligns with the other branches.

1. Rating specific billets at USCG Reserve Units restrict Senior Leaders options for PCS moves by limiting their choices for their next unit, which are often outside of RCD (Reasonable Commuting Distance). Command needs to consider eliminating rating designations from reserve E-8 and E-9 billets.

There are also many ways to move up ranks in a particular job. One way a soldier can advance is going to Officer Candidate School. Officer Candidate School trains men and women to have the necessary skills to advance and become an army second lieutenant. The Green to Gold program is also an available option for advancement. This program can help soldiers get a degree and become officers. Lastly, a warrant officer can go to Warrant Officer Candidate school to go to a higher rank in the army for more money. The army has many ways to advance, but this is very hard to do so be ready for a struggle. School might even be necessary for advancement, but it can really help an officer's

There are many traditions that have been established over the long history of the military services. These many traditions can be broken into numerous customs and courtesies. A custom is a way of acting in a manner that has been continued constantly over a long period of time. It is almost like a law. A courtesy is a way of displaying good manners and politeness when dealing with other people. Military courtesy conveys respect both up and down the chain of command.

You are stationed onboard a ship deployed to the Persian Gulf, the temperature outside exceeds 100°. You 're standing in the lunch line, in front of you is a sailor drenched in sweat looking impossibly overheated. He is an EN and has been spending his morning in the machinery spaces maintaining the ever humming and hot machinery that keeps the ship moving through the sea. Behind you a sailor in a foul weather jacket who is nearly shivering. He is an ET and has just come from his job in the electronic spaces maintaining the ships radars and radios. These electronic devices must remain cold, or they will overheat and malfunction, the spaces are so cold you must wear a jacket. The EN asks the ET “How did you get so lucky to be working in air-conditioned spaces while I‘m sweating my buttocks off down in the engine room?” The ET replies “Choose your rate, choose your fate.” It is one of our favorite sayings in the enlisted Navy. It has just enough truth to be annoying. The Navy 's enlisted ranks are subdivided into occupational skills groups that we call ratings. Examples of these enlisted ratings include EN or Engineman and ET or Electronic Technician. When enlisting in the Navy you choose an occupational field you think you would like to enter. After completing a series of skills tests, you are classified and eventually placed in a rating. The rating will determine what training you receive and ultimately the job you will be performing on board the ship.

It is requested that 6182 Leading Seaman Peters R be advance to Petty Officer with an effective date of 01 June 2016. The circumstances surrounding this rating’s advancement are outlined in the following paragraphs.

There are 8 maritime academies that are pumping out 800 Third Officers and Third Assistant Engineers every year. These new junior officers that end up sailing will eventually require attending the courses we will be providing. Now, they are creating Junior Supply Officer(s), which I intend to create courses to support advancement in this rate.
