I attended this amazing session that provided some valuable (and actionable) insights. It's always good to expand knowledge and pick up new skills. Thanks to Maria Louise and Lauren Dodd for organizing! Appreciate the effort that goes into these learning opportunities. #ProfessionalDevelopment#ContinuousLearning#goarmybeatnavy
Research and Instruction Librarian at United States Naval Academy
Yesterday the teaching librarians of the Naval Academy and West Point came together virtually for our first joint Instruction Day, 2024. It was a fabulous professional development collaboration and we learned a lot from each other. Thanks to my co-organizer Lauren Dodd (USMA)!! We share in a unique mission to train future military leaders and are committed to equip them with the information skills they need to excel. Thanks to all our colleagues who contributed to the day, and to those that presented Lightning Talks. And, as always, GO NAVY! ;)
You are welcome Lori! The event was made great by the participation of you and our colleagues. Looking forward to more collaborative events like this to come.

Applying to a military academy is not your average college admission process. Make sure you join us for this webinar if your student is considering this path. So much great information will be shared!
ATTENTION! Join Estrela team member Alyson Campbell as she hosts a Military Academies "Open Chat" on May 14. We will hear from graduates of the United States Military Academy (West Point) and the United States Naval Academy who have worked with students looking to gather more info and gain admission into these prestigious institutions. We will discuss these types of institutions, as well as best practices, timelines, and tips for students and families considering any of the U.S. military academies after graduation. If you have a teen with an interest in how this process works, we recommend not missing this webinar! A recording will be sent to all who register.

#navy#unitedstatesnavyUS 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.

“Science, in the immediate, produces knowledge and, indirectly, means of action. It leads to methodical action if definite goals are set up in advance. For the function of setting up goals and passing statements of value transcends its domain. While it is true that science, to the extent of its grasp of causative connections, may reach important conclusions as to the compatibility and incompatibility of goals and evaluations, the independent and fundamental definitions regarding goals and values remain beyond science's reach.”

Prioritizing the Culture of Service, What Lessons can be Taught from Military Service at Navy League of the United States’ #SeaAirSpace 2024
Sailor life offers unrivaled opportunities for young Americans seeking purpose and adventure, but such personal fulfillment is only possible amidst a service-wide culture of respect, duty, professionalism, and service to others. This extends beyond those in uniform, to include strong support for spouses and children. It also extends beyond the length of one’s time in service, as each Sailor, Marine, and Sentinel is expected to maintain the integrity and strength of character developed while in uniform even after transitioning out of service. How does America develop the greatest Sailors, Marines, and Sentinels in the world and how will we continue to do so? We heard from the senior enlisted members of these renowned sea services and learned about the tireless work they undertake to ensure that the quality of our servicemembers remain the envy of the world.

𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: After commissioning from a military academy, you must serve a five-year Active Duty Service Obligation (ADSO), and if you received a Dedicated Guard ROTC Scholarship you must serve a four-year ADSO before you can start qualifying for the Post-9/11 Gi Bill.
Royal NavyUK Ministry of DefenceGOV.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).

If this is how high ranking officers are treated in a modern Navy, then God help the ratings!
