    QUARTERMASTER RATING ROADMAP January 2012 CAREER ROADMAP Seaman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmaps The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Quartermaster community through the process of pursuing professional development and advanced education using various military and civilian resources e.g. PQS program; SMART Transcript; NKO (E-Learning); Navy College; etc. Successful leadership is the key to military readiness and will always require a high degree of technical skill, professional knowledge, and intellectual development. What is a Career Roadmap for Quartermaster? Quartermaster roadmaps are just what the name implies – a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum from Quartermaster Seaman Recruit through Quartermaster Master Chief. The principal focus is to standardize a program Navywide by featuring the existing skills of Quartermaster necessary to be successful in the Navy. The ultimate goal of a roadmap is to produce a functional and competent Quartermaster. What is the Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum? Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum is the formal title given to the curriculum and process building on the foundation of Sailorization beginning in our Delayed Entry Program through Recruit Training Command and throughout your entire career. The continuum combines skill training, professional education, well-rounded assignments, and voluntary education. As you progress through your career, early-on skill training diminishes while professional military education gradually increases. Experience is the ever-present constant determining the rate at which a Sailor trades skill training for professional development. Do Sailors have to follow the Roadmap? Yes. The Quartermaster roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum in Professional Military Education to include; Navy Professional Military Education, Joint Professional Education, Leadership and Advanced Education.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School AN ORAL HISTORY OF THE NAVY BAND B-1: THE FIRST ALL-BLACK NAVY BAND OF WORLD WAR II A Dissertation in Music Education by Gregory Abdul Drane © 2020 Gregory Abdul Drane Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2020 ii The dissertation of Gregory Abdul Drane was reviewed and approved* by the following: O. Richard Bundy, Jr. Professor of Music Education, Emeritus Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Robert Gardner Associate Professor of Music Education David McBride Professor of African American Studies and African American History Ann Clements Professor of Music Education Linda Thornton Professor of Music Education Chair of the Graduate Program iii ABSTRACT This study investigates the service of the Navy Band B-1, the first all-black Navy band to serve during World War II. For many years it was believed that the black musicians of the Great Lakes Camp held the distinction as the first all-black Navy band to serve during World War II. However, prior to the opening of the Navy’s Negro School of Music at the Great Lakes Camps, the Navy Band B-1 had already completed its training and was in full service. This study documents the historical timeline of events associated with the formation of the Navy Band B-1, the recruitment of the bandsmen, their service in the United States Navy, and their valuable contributions to the country. Surviving members of the Navy Band B-1 were interviewed to share their stories and reflections of their service during World War II.

  • The United States Navy Looks at Its African American Crewmen, 1755-1955
    “MANY OF THEM ARE AMONG MY BEST MEN”: THE UNITED STATES NAVY LOOKS AT ITS AFRICAN AMERICAN CREWMEN, 1755-1955 by MICHAEL SHAWN DAVIS B.A., Brooklyn College, City University of New York, 1991 M.A., Kansas State University, 1995 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Abstract Historians of the integration of the American military and African American military participation have argued that the post-World War II period was the critical period for the integration of the U.S. Navy. This dissertation argues that World War II was “the” critical period for the integration of the Navy because, in addition to forcing the Navy to change its racial policy, the war altered the Navy’s attitudes towards its African American personnel. African Americans have a long history in the U.S. Navy. In the period between the French and Indian War and the Civil War, African Americans served in the Navy because whites would not. This is especially true of the peacetime service, where conditions, pay, and discipline dissuaded most whites from enlisting. During the Civil War, a substantial number of escaped slaves and other African Americans served. Reliance on racially integrated crews survived beyond the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, only to succumb to the principle of “separate but equal,” validated by the Supreme Court in the Plessy case (1896). As racial segregation took hold and the era of “Jim Crow” began, the Navy separated the races, a task completed by the time America entered World War I.

  • “Your Message Here”: an Analysis of the Us Navy in Photo Postcards
    “YOUR MESSAGE HERE”: AN ANALYSIS OF THE U.S. NAVY IN PHOTO POSTCARDS by Stephanie Croatt April, 2013 Director of Thesis: John Tilley Major Department: Maritime Studies The purpose of this project is to analyze photographic postcards with images of the U.S. Navy between 1913 and 1945. This analysis will explore how the postcard images portray the Navy as powerful, competent, and happy. This portrayal became more pronounced over time, thanks to increasing photography training and censorship practices in the Navy. As a widely popular medium for the dissemination of “soft news” that would have recruited the public and enlisted population’s consent and support of the U.S. Navy’s activities, the photo postcards analyzed here demonstrate what kinds of messages the postcards would have conveyed. Photo postcards acted as evidence of the sailor’s activities abroad and of the Navy’s power in the form of ships and capable, numerous crews. While they offered proof of a powerful, capable Navy, the images would have also elicited pride and patriotism from the viewer. This, in turn, might have facilitated the civilian’s furthered support of war efforts or of retaining funding for the Navy during peacetime, and enticing more men to join the Navy. For men in the Navy, the pride invoked by postcard images may have helped define their identity as a member of the Navy. “YOUR MESSAGE HERE”: AN ANALYSIS OF THE U.S. NAVY IN PHOTO POSTCARDS A Thesis Presented To the Faculty of the Department of History East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History by Stephanie Croatt April, 2013 © Stephanie Croatt, 2013 “YOUR MESSAGE HERE”: AN ANALYSIS OF THE U.S.
