Perkins local metal bands concerts. 2 the primary loop CMC’s Corner A staff member from NPTU who recently separated from the Navy wrote a letter to staff and students that contained the following motivational words that was too good not to share with you all. “I’d like to share with you an exerpt from ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis’ book: ‘Later that year I was sent to Okinawa to join my first infantry unit. I was lucky: I had joined the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, where most of the key leaders had spent years fighting in rice paddies, mountains, and jungles [in Vietnam]. They knew their stuff. Far from being standoffish because they had seen combat, they were tough and friendly, and they readily shared their combat knowledge. I didn’t have to earn their support; it was mine to lose, not to gain.’ Mr. Mattis goes on later to say, ‘Show no favoritism. Value initiative and aggressiveness above all. It’s easier to pull the reins back than to push a timid soul forward. Consistently maintain a social and personal distance, remembering that there is a line you must not cross. But you should come as close to that line as possible – without surrendering one ounce of authority. You are not their friend. You are their coach and commander, rewarding the qualities essential to battlefield victory. You get to know them as individuals – what makes them tick and what their specific goals are. One is striving to make corporal, another needs a letter of recommendation for college, another is determined to break eighteen minutes for three miles. A Marine knows when you are invested in his character, his dreams, and his development. Men like that won’t quit on you.’ It seems that even Marines, who are arguably much ‘tougher’ than the majority of Sailors, find EMPATHY to be a positive characteristic in leaders. We haven’t ‘gone soft’ because we’ve started caring more about students as humans. And as for the pump vs. filter, Rickover told Congress in 1979 that the program attrition rate was about 25%; we’ve been around 40% the last 10 years. I’ve also seen another category of non-empathetic staff, less concerned with the toughness of Sailors...I’ll leave you with this, also from Jim Mattis: ‘At Central Washington State College in 1968, I was a mediocre student with a partying attitude. After I caroused too much one night, the local judge ordered me to spend weekends in jail – punishment for underage drinking. One inmate, Porter Wagner (not the famous singer) had jumped bail in Maryland. One Saturday night he saw me hoisting myself up to look out the barred window, eager to see what I was missing outside. ‘What do you see, Jimmy?’ he said, lying back on his bunk. ‘A muddy parking lot.’ ‘From down here, I see stars in the night sky,’ he said. ‘It’s your choice. You can look at stars or mud.’ He was in jail, but his spirit wasn’t. From that wayward philosopher I learned that no matter what happened, I wasn’t a victim; I made my own choices how to respond. You don’t always control your circumstance, but you can always control your response.” Motivational Quotes “Change your thoughts and you change your world.” - Norman Vincent Peele the primary loop 3 4 the primary loop The Team Behind the Scenes Story & photos by MCSA Keyly Santizo The sounds of a saw cutting Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class the grounds team also helps build into wood, envelopes and boxes Rebecca Brook, assigned to the and construct.

Bell EMN1 Childress The Month of the Military Child has been celebrated every April since its inception in 1986, when former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger established the commemorations. The celebration honors the important role military children play in the armed forces community. Military children face unique challenges and hardships that may be considered uncommon to most children. They often see their parents ship off for months at a time, sometimes to dangerous combat zones and with limited communication. They weather frequent moves and rarely experience what it is like to settle in one place for long. Their ability to overcome these hardships is truly admirable, and for that we say THANK YOU to the children of our team at Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (NNPTC). It is because of their support and courage through these sacrifices that we continue to complete the mission that our nation has called upon us. Hunter, Chase, April 2020 has brought its own unique challenges as families maneuver through the limitations brought on by COVID-19. Lcdr. Rinehart Lcdr.

  • Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress
    Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress (name redacted) Specialist in Naval Affairs December 13, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RS22478 Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress Summary Names for Navy ships traditionally have been chosen and announced by the Secretary of the Navy, under the direction of the President and in accordance with rules prescribed by Congress. Rules for giving certain types of names to certain types of Navy ships have evolved over time. There have been exceptions to the Navy’s ship-naming rules, particularly for the purpose of naming a ship for a person when the rule for that type of ship would have called for it to be named for something else. Some observers have perceived a breakdown in, or corruption of, the rules for naming Navy ships. On July 13, 2012, the Navy submitted to Congress a 73-page report on the Navy’s policies and practices for naming ships. For ship types now being procured for the Navy, or recently procured for the Navy, naming rules can be summarized as follows: The first Ohio replacement ballistic missile submarine (SBNX) has been named Columbia in honor of the District of Columbia, but the Navy has not stated what the naming rule for these ships will be. Virginia (SSN-774) class attack submarines are being named for states. Aircraft carriers are generally named for past U.S. Presidents. Of the past 14, 10 were named for past U.S. Presidents, and 2 for Members of Congress. Destroyers are being named for deceased members of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, including Secretaries of the Navy.

  • 1 of 7 Three Ships Named USS Marblehead Since the Latter Part Of
    Three Ships named USS Marblehead The 1st Marblehead Since the latter part of the 19th century, cruisers in the United States Navy have carried the names of U.S. cities. Three ships have been named after Marblehead, MA, the birthplace of the U.S. Navy, and all three had distinguished careers. The 1st Marblehead. The first Marblehead was not a cruiser, however. She Source: Wikipedia.com was an Unadilla-class gunboat designed not for ship-to-ship warfare but for bombardment of coastal targets and blockade runners. Launched in 1861, she served the Union during the American Civil War. First assigned to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, she took part in operations along the York and Pamunkey Rivers in Virginia. On 1 MAY 1862, she shelled Confederate positions at Yorktown in support of General George McClellan's drive up the peninsula toward Richmond. In an unusual engagement, this Marblehead was docked in Pamunkey River when Confederate cavalry commander Jeb Stuart ordered an attack on the docked ship. Discovered by Union sailors and marines, who opened fire, the Confederate horse artillery under Major John Pelham unlimbered his guns and fired on Marblehead. The bluecoats were called back aboard and as the ship got under way Pelham's guns raced the ship, firing at it as long as the horse can keep up with it. The Marblehead escaped. Reassigned to the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, she commenced patrols off the southern east coast in search of Confederate vessels. With the single turreted, coastal monitor Passaic, in early-FEB 1863, she reconnoitered Georgia’s Wilmington River in an unsuccessful attempt to locate the ironclad ram CSS Atlanta.

The provision also states that “nothing in this section may be construed as requiring a Secretary concerned to initiate a review of previously named assets.” Section 1749 of the House-reported FY2021 NDAA (H.R. 6395) would prohibit the public display of the Confederate battle flag on Department of Defense (DOD) property, including naval vessels.
