Training Center Of The New Sailor

At the height of the U.S. Navy’s involvement in the Vietnam War, the Navy’s coastal and riverine forces included more than 30,000 Sailors and over 350 patrol vessels ranging in size from riverboats to destroyers. For the Navy’s personnel, Vietnam was a watershed in many ways. It represented the first time since the Civil War that large numbers of sailors experienced riverine warfare in small boats—a combat experience more akin to that of an infantry soldier

The Recruit Division Commanders (RDC) that were waiting for the bus storm through the open doors, and start screaming orders at the new recruits. Your grab what little stuff you were told bring, and hurry off the bus before the bulldogs eat you alive. Your are shuffled in to an atrium with about 80 other recruits all scared as you are, and still getting orders yelled at you, half of which you cannot understand so you get yelled at more. As you all fall in, the RDCs start telling you the rules and regulations as fast as they can, and expect you to remember all of them or again get yelled at. You then get shuffled in to gear issue where they separate you by gender. Once in the large room they make everyone one strip down to nothing so they can strip you of all your civilian clothes, and in essence of your civilian life. Once you have all of your issued gear they walk you into another room where you get your first chance to sit down, and semi relax. But there is no relaxing on the first

We weren’t told whether they were or not. But, in truth, it was just a blessing for us to escape our civilian clothes. They were becoming tattered and smelling like gymnasium socks.”

As a former member of the recruiting organization, I have intimate knowledge of how the organization works, its overall mission and the impact of how not accomplishing that mission affects not only the state of Georgia, but the entire United States Army and the Department of Defense. The key points I will address in this research paper are the following: 1) to detail the major changes that should be enacted in order to move the organization into a different mindset; 2) to attempt to share the strategic plan of the Defense Department, in regards to its

On the 7th of October 2014, I interviewed Mr. Johnson, the owner of Island House Restaurant & Marina in Wachapreague, Virginia, who served 13 years in the United States Special Warfare Teams, also known as the United States Navy Seals. Graduating from High-School Mr. Johnson attended North Dakota State University where he planned to study Pharmacy. But by his second semester, he decided to no longer study Pharmacy, due to financial reasons and accumulating student debt, and join the United States Navy in his fall semester of his sophomore year. He later achieved a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Education.

The Naval Training Center (NTC) influenced the history of San Diego by not only bringing in money, people, and importance into it, but also using San Diego's heritage, and building upon it. It became the Naval Training Center in 1944, and filled 435 acres in 1955. However, just 40 odd years later, the city of San Diego began leasing a number of the buildings. Eventually it closed in 1997. (Globalsecurity.org)

The military is an essential component of the security of the United States. The military needs men and women at the peak of their performance. Because of this, the military looks to recruit high school students as young as seventeen years old. However, many people do not want recruiters in high schools and the debate of whether high schools should allow military recruiters inside has transpired. Numerous reasons exist explaining why schools should allow recruiters on campuses. High schools should allow military recruiters because, although many say that recruiters don’t tell the whole truth, students usually already know the information. Recruiters inform students of the benefits and opportunities that the military offers and they

Recruiting for the military is best described as consistently thinking ahead while constantly being immersed in the civilian world based on the concept of the 21st Century Soldier Competencies. Like other recruiter locations across the United States, my office is a single storefront surrounded by dilapidated structures and an assortment of fast food restaurants. Within a block of this establishment, it is not uncommon to see a representative sample of the entire state of Washington to include my sole college, Gonzaga University. People from all backgrounds, socioeconomic status, and all walks of life coexisting with one another are located in this area, which contributes to recruiting challenges. Within only a few miles, the terrain changes drastically from an urban center of exchange into a luscious hilly landscape that is valued by many as one of the most picturesque views in the great state of Washington. Throughout the entireness of this paper, I will explain all aspects and dimensions of my recruiting strategy for increasing numbers in Spokane, Washington. By presenting the demographics of my area, followed by my School Entry Vehicle (SEV) in the local schools, I will explain the scope of my operation.

According to “Weapons of War”, the soldiers had problems with essentially all of their gear. The helmets were extremely weighty and sweltering, and were often abandoned in favor of floppy, fabric hats. The cotton uniforms deteriorated in the Vietnam climate. The military tried to fix this problem by developing clothing that was made with ripstop nylon. However, the solution didn’t have the outcome the military hoped it would have. Spare clothes were treasured but were very burdensome to haul around. The

Winston S. Churchill once said “Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.” 50 men kept fighting for their rights and believes even when they continue falling; they were the Port Chicago men. The message of “Courage Under Fire” is portrayed by showing people that even in the worst time, they should be up for yourselves, yet if the battle leaves stitches, keep fighting for what you believe in, and people shall not regret it. The book The Port Chicago 50 written by Steve Sheinkin and the documentary “Into Forgetfulness,” are an astonishing civil rights story and video about 50 African American men who recount their story in the Navy when they were just teenagers and were charged with mutiny.

Interviewing Matt Boyne represented an opportunity to learn about the military as well as the gender dynamics that have constantly been discussed. Boyne discussed his experience as a Commander of Squadron VFA-94 Strike Fighter Attack, and commitment to the U.S. Navy for 25 years. He recalls the thrill of flying F/A-18, and becoming more knowledgeable of management systems, of which he now teaches at Point Loma Nazarene University.

In 1987 a young man joined the world’s finest Navy with dreams of one day becoming the Commanding Officer of a nuclear submarine. When that day finally arrived he was months into

The day was Thursday, March 9th. The time was 10:45 a.m. Amid my engineering class fifth period I was exceedingly enthusiastic about my trip to the Naval Surface Warfare Center where I would shadow a profession that I was particularly interested in. My father picked me up at around eleven o’clock to drive me into Philadelphia to meet up with the man that I was shadowing.

The next picture is the sign and building of the Amphibious Training Base which is located on Silver Strand between the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay. The base  was obtained by the Navy in June 1943 as a training base for amphibious warfare. That was its purpose throughout the war. The training base became known as the home of the "Alligator Navy". This is because of all the  types of amphibious landing vehicles called "alligators". The base was taken over by the Navy after the war. The facility was active throughout the Cold War as well. The land was created from the excavation of the San Diego Bay to allow large ships to steam into Naval Station San Diego. These boats were used in World War II. The base is the only Naval amphibious base
