Us Navy Chief Pinning Ceremony

Institutional culture has a unique way of shaping professional behavior. Army culture is defined as a collective belief amongst Soldier’s. Every Soldier took the same Oath on their day of Enlistment. With that Oath birthed a bond. A bond where members of an organization appreciate and carry out the beliefs, attitudes, values, goals and practices of that of that organization. An example of The Army Culture is its artifacts. The United States Flag, Uniforms, ceremonies, monuments, myths and stories that will be passed on through different generations, all play a role in Army Culture.

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.

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 United States Marine Corps is looking for a “Few Good Men” for their Officer Corps. There are a few different ways to achieve the rank of Second Lieutenant. Some officers go straight from college to a recruiter, and others join as an enlisted Marine and apply for an officer rank later in their career. I am applying for a commission from the enlisted ranks. I have found that enlisted to officer programs have many requirements and can be somewhat confusing, but the goal of making a move from enlisted to officer can be accomplished as long as I are willing to put forth the effort to achieve that goal.

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,

The use of silver bands or rings on the staff of a regiment’s color began in the U.S. Army as a Battle Honor in 1890. Battle honors have their origins in antiquity. In the U.S. Army they can be traced to Gen John C. Fremont, who in 1861 ordered that units under his command could paint the name “Springfield” on their colors. Noting the positive effect Battle Honors had on unit esprit d’corps, in1862 the U.S. War Department issued a General Order making the practice of painting Battle Honors directly on colors and standards service wide.

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.......

Volunteers as a Veterans and Americans Citizen together we build this Corps with all our hearts .

Once ,We all witness and emotion when we saw the young son was crying at his father

The previous promotion system that the Army had in place was designed to support an Army at war. Prior to the height of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army mandated that soldiers attend the appropriate level of Non-commissioned Officer Professional Development (NCOPD) course before the soldier could pin on the next rank. As the Army goes through demobilization, the Army is seeing more of a garrison style of leadership come full circle, realizing that NCO development supports combat readiness long-term. The Chief of Staff of the United States Army, General Mark Milley said “Readiness is the Army’s number one priority” (www.armytimes.com) The Army’s combat readiness depends on leaders at all levels to embrace the importance of developing NCOs at a higher level. With changing and improving weapons system and equipment, soldiers of 2020 will need to be at a higher level of readiness than ever before. It must commit to placing emphasis and value on the training, education, and experiences individuals obtain in the operational, institutional, and self-development learning domains. The U.S. Army has made leaps and bounds from where it first began and leading up to the twentieth century. “In the mid 1900’s many leaders in the Army still felt that development was done through the means of on-the-job training, and that that is where it should stay.” (www.ncohistory.com) This was about as far from the today’s system of STEP as you could possibly be.

What do you think, when you see the uniform change in the Navy yet again? Not only are the myriad of uniforms historic in nature, but each and every uniform change holds a meaning and garners a great deal of respect for those who are serving, have served and civilians alike. Senior enlisted leaders need to understand and share the importance and history behind Navy uniforms with Sailors, while utilizing it as a tool to reinforce the core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. This essay will provide the establishment, history, and evolution of the Navy uniform from past to present.

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

Soldiers can be promoted or moved in advancement by finishing college and then joining. Soldiers can then become a 2nd Lieutenant.For doing brave or heroic actions you could receive a Medal of Valor, or you could get a Medal of Honor.Officers that lead a successful attack can be promoted depending on if they followed directions.

In my mind there are two types of people that attain the grade E5: Sergeants and NCOs. Some people will probably disagree with me about which definition is better. In the mind of CJ, anyone can be a sergeant. But, it takes a leader
