#TheForceBehindTheFleet congratulates Hull Maintenance Technician 1st Class Petty Officer Jennifer Schleuning on her selection as the Navy Shore Sailor of the Year!!
Serving at the Southeast Regional Maintenance Center in Mayport, FL, Schleuning (pronounced like "shining," but with an "L") earned the title having competed against some of our Navy’s hardest chargers, distinguishing herself by contributing to the increased material condition readiness for 20 Mayport-based and visiting ships.
The Sailor of the Year program was established by the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations in 1972 to recognize Sailors from the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets who exemplify the Navy's professionalism and personal dedication. The program expanded to recognize one outstanding Sailor from all shore locations across the Navy in 1973 and introduced the Navy Enlisted Reservist of the Year award in 1982.
BRAVO ZULU, 1st Class Petty Officer Jennifer Schleuning!! Join #NAVSEA in congratulating Schleuning in the comments below.

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.

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!

As a submariner I can absolutely relate. From a project management perspective this is the most accurate depiction of 80% of projects being executed. Get involved, stay engaged and use the right tools for the job.
This is an outstanding list of priorities. This is what the Space Force should have. Nowhere in here does the Navy say it's a support force for the other services. Nowhere in here does it say it relies on others to do it's missions. It's a warfighting service that deters and projects combat, warfighting power. The CNO has provided the example for the CSO. Let's replace the "Comprehensive Strategy for the Space Force" with a spacepower version of this!!!

I have long said sailors are mariners and warfighters first and foremost.
So naturally, I find a lot to like in the below from the US NavyOffice of the Chief of Naval Operations. Clear, succinct and on point.
Clarity of purpose and a clear-eyed vision of the threat is important. Of course, a conflict in the Indo-Pacific would be catastrophic and we must do all we can to prevent it where possible. But failing to prepare for it or acknowledge it simply undermines deterrence.
If conflict is to arise in the Indo-Pacific it will be fought across all domains, military and non-military but geography dictates it will likely be very much maritime in nature. We must prepare our maritime warfighters for this potential, and we must do so now, and hope in doing so we bolster our deterrence strategy.
