Phillips. 3 Lincoln's New Chief Petty Officers Story by MCSN Jeremiah Bartelt hirty Sailors aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) were pinned to the rank of chief petty officer during a ceremony in the ship’s hangar bay Sept. 18. An audience consisting of the commanding officer, executive officer, command master chief, several active-duty and retired servicemembers and friends and family came to see these Sailors join the proud,T 125-year history of the chief petty officer rank. “The Navy tradition is a really powerful thing,” said Commanding Officer Captain Putnam H. Browne to the chief petty officers. “You’ve come a long way, enduring hard times, but you have made our navy what it is today” The chief selectees underwent a six-week training cycle - a traditional rite of passge into the Chiefs Mess. The extensive cycle included physical training as well as classes that would prepare the selectees for what it would take to become a Navy chief. “It was a very challenging process but well worth it,” said newly-pinned Chief Air Traffic Controlman Mark Summers. “We learned a lot of valuable lessons that prepared us to be chiefs. If you really want something, you have to earn it, and that’s what we did.” Advancing to chief petty officer is an accomplishment that requires hard work and dedication. It was a special moment for those who finally put on the highly sought-after gold anchors, symbolizing the next stage of their career. “This was one of the greatest days of my life,” said newly-pinned Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) Jason Hamilton. “You get that feeling in the pit of your stomach that something great just happened. Making chief is third to the birth of my child and getting married.” A Sailor does not become a chief petty officer on their own; it takes support from others to attain this achievement. “No one in this room can do anything without the family and support network that drives us every single day,” said Abraham Lincoln’s Command Master Chief James W. Stedding. Chief petty officers are expected to impeccably uphold the highest Naval standards and groom future generations of chief petty officers, raising first class petty officers to those same standards. “The mentorship and guidance I received from the Chiefs Mess is second to none,” said Hamilton. “They prepared me for the future and to carry the weight of these anchors. They are truly an amazing Chiefs Mess.” Putting on the fouled anchor symbolizes the trials and tribulations that every chief petty officer must endure on a daily basis. It means being tasked with responsibilities bigger then one’s own achievements, for the future of the Navy will be shaped by these new chiefs. “I’m challenging each one of you to lead, mentor and develop,” said Stedding. “We cannot move on as a service if we don’t pay it forward. We are here to train our reliefs and the next future Navy leaders, and it starts now.” Although it was a time for celebration, these newest chiefs are prepared and eager to get started with their newest responsibilities. “I’m very excited to start this journey,” said newly-pinned Chief Yeoman Terrance Dubose. “It’s going to be a lot of hard work but I’m looking forward to getting started and helping all the Sailors aboard Abraham Lincoln.” Through an intense curriculum and full participation, the tradition of advancing from E-6 to E-7 is an empowering process fostering unity and pride. The future leaders of the Navy are now under the influence of these newly-pinned chiefs. CS3 David Rivera makes pizza in the galley. Photo by MC3 Darion Chanelle Triplett.

    Order Code RL31763 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Iraq: Summary of U.S. Forces Updated March 14, 2005 Linwood B. Carter Information Research Specialist Knowledge Services Group Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Iraq: Summary of U.S. Forces Summary This report provides a summary estimate of military forces that have reportedly been deployed to and subsequently withdrawn from the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR), popularly called the Persian Gulf region, to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. For background information on the AOR, see [http://www.centcom.mil/aboutus/aor.htm]. Geographically, the USCENTCOM AOR stretches from the Horn of Africa to Central Asia. The information about military units that have been deployed and withdrawn is based on both official government public statements and estimates identified in selected news accounts. The statistics have been assembled from both Department of Defense (DOD) sources and open-source press reports. However, due to concerns about operational security, DOD is not routinely reporting the composition, size, or destination of units and military forces being deployed to the Persian Gulf. Consequently, not all has been officially confirmed. For further reading, see CRS Report RL31701, Iraq: U.S. Military Operations. This report will be updated as the situation continues to develop.

Acquisition Research Program Graduate School of Defense Management Naval Postgraduate School ABSTRACT The Air Wing of the Future (AWOTF) will provide unmatched lethality and capability in future theaters of operations. The addition of the F-35C Lightning II, MQ-25 Stingray, and CMV-22B to the combat proven team of F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, EA-18G Growlers, E-2D Hawkeyes, and MH-60R/S Seahawks also comes with increased manpower support requirements over today's carrier air wing. The increased complement of personnel necessary to operate the AWOTF will either require a multimillion-dollar ship modification to the baseline design, or a reduction to the individual squadron manpower documents. The objective of this capstone was to analyze manpower talent management, maintenance training, and squadron-level maintenance activities to determine whether a training improvement solution could substantiate a manpower reduction by creating a higher-quality, more capable work force.

    WAR and PEACE in the HORNET Updated 0630/2016 The Fist’s “marriage” with the CORSAIR II lasted just 15 years before transitioning to the F/A-18 Hornet. The Marines fielded their first Hornet squadron, VMFA-314, in January 1983. Some six months later, VFA-113 and VFA-25 were the first customers at VFA-125, the West Coast Hornet training squadron. The Fists received their first Hornet on 11 November, an important date in Fist History, and reported to CVW-14 in January 1984. As of 2012, the squadron has flown the Hornet longer than any other assigned aircraft (only 21 years in the SPAD). Editor: The following chronology is incomplete in some periods, pending access to additional command reports. Inputs are welcome: [email protected] CHRONOLOGY 1983 Commander in Chief - Ronald Reagan. 1 January The Squadron’s 40th birthday. 1 January VA-25 began the year serving under the command of Captain D.

GEURTS ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION ASN(RD&A) AND LIEUTENANT GENERAL STEVEN RUDDER DEPUTY COMMANDANT FOR AVIATION AND REAR ADMIRAL GREGORY HARRIS DIRECTOR AIR WARFARE BEFORE THE TACTICAL AIR AND LAND FORCES SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE ON DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY AVIATION PROGRAMS March 10, 2020 NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNTIL RELEASED BY THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE SUBCOMMITTEE ON TACTICAL AIR AND LAND FORCES Introduction Chairman Norcross, Ranking Member Hartzler and distinguished members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the Department of the Navy’s (DoN) Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 budget request. We appreciate your leadership and steadfast support for Navy and Marine Corps aviation acquisition and research programs. Dominant naval force and a strong maritime strategy are the primary engines of our National Defense Strategy (NDS). As we continue to face rapid change in the global security environment, including greater global trade and greater unpredictability, our national security posture must likewise change to adapt to the emerging security environment with a sense of urgency and innovation. This requires the right balance of readiness, capability and capacity as well as budget stability and predictability. It necessitates us to deliver relevant, effective, capability to our Sailors and Marines, and a constant focus on and partnership with the industrial base.
