Inspiring Men and Women to Serve: Becoming Great Americans. forward: If we inspire just one person to serve, we can influence history. #navy #unitedstatesnavy US Navy In the tapestry of American history, woven with threads of courage, sacrifice, and determination, lie the stories of inspiring men and women who have heeded the call to serve their country. From the battlefields to the corridors of power, their contributions have shaped the nation and embodied the ideals of patriotism, service, and resilience. Today, as we navigate the complexities of our world, the call to serve resonates as strongly as ever, beckoning a new generation to step forward and become great Americans in the process. **1.

“Professional military education (PME) is a critically important part of building effective military leaders. This fact is sometimes overlooked due to the misguided belief that experience and field service alone will make the best leader.” For new Air Force and Space Force officers think about how and when you will accomplish the following: Masters Degree Squadron Officer School Air Command & Staff College Air War College Joint PME, like the Joint and Combined War fighting School It’s not about “checking the box.” It’s about continually learning and becoming a better person for yourself and all those you work with.

“The command’s core mission to train, mentor, and assess integrated maritime forces for worldwide assignment is informed by the current and projected strategic security environment,” said Rear Adm. Max “Pepper” McCoy, commander, CSG-4. “Recent armed conflicts remind us of the imperative for naval forces to train to any threat environment they may encounter, and underscores the complexity facing commanders leading teams from the East Coast who may operate in the U.S. Sixth, Fifth, or Seventh Fleet areas of operation.” Check out RDML McCoy’s article, “Bringing the Team Together: Integrated Training for Tactical Advantage,” about the teamwork across the Navy, Joint, and combined team to deliver warfighting capability here: https://lnkd.in/eS8Mf9rb #training #teamwork #maritimediplomacy #allies #LiveVirtualConstructive #LVC #BlueGreenTeam cc: U.S. Fleet Forces Command Fleet Marine Force Atlantic, Marine Forces Command, Marine Forces Northern Command U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet Commander, U.S. 2nd Fleet II Marine Expeditionary Force STRIKFORNATO | Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO U.S. Navy Reserve Commander Naval Surface Force Atlantic Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic Commander, Naval Information Forces

#navalintegration is occurring at all echelons primarily with an emphasis at the Fleet and MARFOR level, or lower, small unit level. However, for the Navy DMO will still be executed at the CSG level. It would be wise for the FMF to start integrating with CSG training events to understand how the Navy will plan and execute operations in the "blue" water, so Marines can conduct operations in the "brown" water littoral areas and enable DMO. I encourage FMF units to reach out to CSG-4 (East Coast) / CSG-15 (West Coast) and see if they can participate in CSG events beyond current efforts. Marines will learn a lot which will better inform planners and commanders on how best to employ FMF forces, and the Navy will see the Marine Corps can contribute to the DMO fight.

Ah yes, the Naval Bridge Simulator aka the most involved video game you'll ever play. Expect to log many hours on these stone ships before you even step foot on a real HMC Ship. You'll learn to navigate the ship, use the bridge equipement effectively and work with your bridge team to keep the whole ship safe while conducting naval operations at sea. All of this without even leaving the school! The coolest part about them? They are not just for trainees. The simulator will be a big part of your entire naval officer career as you progress through being a junior officer, a BWK, a department head and director. As you prepare for Command the bridge simulator will take on a whole new perspective while you learn to get comfortable sitting in "the Chair." Being a Naval Warfare Officer is one of the most demanding jobs available in the Canadian Armed Forces. But you are well prepared in training and the bridge simulator is just one of these vectors.

Certificate Program is a super way to build a solid HSI practitioner. 

Combat performance is derived from system capability combined with informed tactics and training. Real time data backhaul accelerates the tactics feedback loop and drives increased performance with existing capabilities.

These five incredible naval officers are all BOOST 1993 graduates! Each has a distinguished career filled with combat service, major command, major program manager or Navy and Marine Corps civil service tours, proving their dedication to excellence. And guess what? We’re all still going strong, making significant contributions to the Navy today. The BOOST program is a shining example of how investing in potential can unlock remarkable leadership. #Navy #DiversityMatters #BOOSTProgram #LeadershipDevelopment

Royal Navy UK Ministry of Defence GOV.UK what do you consider modern about wanting a Capt.(RN) to carry out the duties of a Commodore but without receiving the recognised pay of a Commodore? 🤔 (See first picture comment). Full Steam Astern? If this is how high ranking officers are treated in a modern Navy, then God help the ratings! #lostatsea
