⚓ Bravo Zulu to Navy Diver 1st Class Nikolaus Powell! ND1 Powell, lead petty officer for Training Team 1, Fleet Diving Division, at the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center at Naval Support Activity Panama City, Florida, trains the next generation of Navy divers. Powell works with novice students to prepare them for the rigors of the fleet and advanced students to hone their skills as they move forward as supervisors. Growing up in Napa, California, Powell always knew he wanted a life near the ocean and now, as a Navy diver, he has worked 14 years in the depths of the sea. “I wake up every morning, and I get to do what I love,” said Powell. “I feel very fortunate that I found this community, and it fits me perfectly.”

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.

The Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps was caught off guard by the situation. Senior enlisted personnel must advocate vigorously for the well-being of their junior Marines.
Rather than excusing the oversight of Marines at the training facility by attributing it to disinformation or highlighting the construction of a new firehouse, he should be holding accountable all enlisted personnel and officers who failed in their duties.
Leadership should prioritize professional courage over merely being executive figureheads or yes-men. Authentic leadership requires action and integrity.
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).
Full Steam Astern?
If this is how high ranking officers are treated in a modern Navy, then God help the ratings!

Global, Modern, Ready…
The Royal Navy is recruiting for a Naval Regional Commander (Wales, West England and Channel Islands region)
The candidate must be serving as a member of the Reserve Forces or have served with the Regular Forces.

US Navy Chief Yeoman Jasmine LaRue, from Mobile, Alabama, has been serving for 12 years and is currently with Naval Special Warfare Command - Navy SEAL & SWCC Teams. We asked about her #CallToService, career progression, and how time in uniform has changed her.
"My call to service is being a servant leader and making sure our #Sailors have all the support they need to support and complete the mission. When I joined back in 2012, I had no real goals or aspirations and made that decision because I did not want to go to college and did not want to stay in my hometown."
#ForgedByTheSea
"I have a goal I would like to reach before retiring and that’s to become a Command Senior Chief or a Command Master Chief, because in the current climate, it is getting harder for Sailors to continue in service and persevere through, in many cases at no fault of their own, in many cases it’s the leadership."
#WhyIServe
"I believe I can use my call to service to show Sailors there is leadership out there that cares and that they are not just a quota to meet or a billet to fill. I feel I can best do that as a Command Senior Chief or Master Chief."
#Transform
"I have changed in so many ways that even I still cannot believe it. I’m a college graduate now and I have been able to come out of my comfort zone and have many exuberating experiences. I have also become a person that strives to do and be more and I would describe myself as ambitious now compared to my past self."
#People
"Something I would like to share with anyone interested in joining the forces is to form your own opinions off your personal experiences. Negativity can spread like wildfire when you surround yourself with the wrong crowd. Surround yourself with personnel who have good character and have your best interest in mind. Remember we are a fighting force and completing the mission is important to sustaining our way of life in our country. It may not feel like it at times but remember that what you do is important no matter how minute you may think it is, because we each are a small piece of the bigger puzzle and working together is what will help complete the mission. Most importantly, stay true to yourself and your personal values as a human, and always make time to take of your mind, body, and soul."

⚓📘Mini- Review: Surf When You Can by Captain (Navy) Brett Crozier.
I couldn’t put this book down! If you are in search of an engaging and insightful read about naval operations, especially concerning blue water maneuvers, “Surf When You Can” is an excellent choice. The author, a Senior Navy Officer, recounts his life journey from childhood to his final moments using the ship’s brow after successfully leading over 1,200 Sailors onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Despite his achievements, Navy Captain Crozier candidly acknowledges his shortcomings as a Commanding Officer, particularly in addressing the fallout from COVID-19, which ultimately cost him his job. In each chapter, he introduces various concepts to help readers understand his experiences and emphasizes how these can be applied as leadership skills. Additionally, he offers valuable insights for future fighter pilots. Stay tuned for my full review, but in the meantime, I highly recommend this book to those aspiring to become the Chief of the Naval Staff.
