    NROTCCUINST 1000.1 13 January 2014 NROTC UNIT UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER INSTRUCTION 1000.1 Subj: UNIVERISTY OF COLORADO NAVAL RESERVE OFFICER TRAINING CORPS STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (CUSOP) Ref: (a) CNSTC M-1533.2 (ROD) 1. Background: This instruction supplements basic NROTC regulations and administrative procedures published in the Reference. In the event of a conflict, the Reference has precedence. 2. Purpose: To establish written standard operating procedures (SOP) for the structure and operation of the NROTC battalion at the University of Colorado. This manual aligns with the policies and procedures set forth in the Regulations for Officer Development (ROD) and elaborates on the requirements in order to optimize NROTC student training. This instruction should be read in its entirety. 3. Objective: CUSOP is to be promulgated to govern the operations and activities of the Student Battalion. It provides individuals with the instructions and information necessary for the performance of their duties. 4. Applicability: These regulations apply to all NROTC students at the University of Colorado Boulder. Where the term Midshipman appears in the SOP it shall be interpreted to include both Scholarship and College Program NROTC Midshipmen as well as USN/USMC Officer Candidates (STA-21/MECEPs) unless otherwise specifically indicated. These written standards ensure students are gaining consistent military training opportunities during their time in the NROTC program. This gives the NROTC staff the necessary time to evaluate each student and ensure they are given adequate military education needed to conduct themselves as junior officers in the Naval services. 5. Action: a. All personnel are directed to be thoroughly familiar with the enclosed SOP.

  • US Navy Supply Corps
    SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2017 SUPPOs Supplying the Fight A Message from the Chief of Supply Corps Recognizing the central importance of supply to establishing the Navy, President George Washington laid the foundation for the U.S. Navy Supply Corps in 1775 with the appointment of Tench Francis, a Philadelphia businessman, as the country’s first Purveyor of Public Supplies. Francis provided vital support to the first Navy ships, and started our tradition of selfless service. The Navy’s trusted providers of supplies, our supply officers (SUPPOs) keep operations running smoothly to support the mission. But they can’t do it alone. Working as a team with their skilled and experienced enlisted members, our SUPPOs are experts in our field who know inventory and financial management, food, retail, postal operations, and disbursing management. They are leaders and problem solvers who tackle complex challenges to implement effective and efficient management solutions, ensuring our customers’ needs are met. To be “Ready for Sea,” we must be professionally ready with the skills to operate in all our lines of operation. We also need character readiness, demonstrated by our integrity, accountabili- ty, initiative, and toughness. Lastly, we need to be individually ready; to be fit, healthy, and ready to meet the demands of the fight. This issue provides insights from our SUPPOs’ important work as they meet the unique needs of their various commands. Like the pursuers and paymasters who have gone before, SUPPOs uphold our rich heritage, and embrace their responsibilities to support the warfighter with a servant’s heart. Our SUPPO’s success depends on their character and competence, knowledge of the shore infrastructure, relationships with our professional civilian workforce, and on the enlisted members they lead and serve with.

TH · NJTED ST A'. , ES ATTOR EY'S OFFICE 0 UT HER D IS'rRIC'I / C'ALII~OR IA U.S. Attorney~» Southern District of California » News Department of Justice U.S. Attorney's Office Southern District of California FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, October 30, 2020 Former U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Sentenced for Bribery Conspiracy with Foreign Defense Contractor NEWS RELEASE SUMMARY - October 30, 2020 SAN DIEGO - Former U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Brooks Alonzo Parks was sentenced today to 27 months in prison and $25,405.76 in restitution for federal bribery conspiracy charges by U.S. District Judge Janis L. Sammartino. Parks is the latest U.S. Navy official to be sentenced in the wide-ranging corruption and fraud investigation involving foreign defense contractor Leonard Glenn Francis and his Singapore-based company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia (GDMA). "Parks traded on his important position of trust, selling his loyalty to a foreign defense contractor," said U.S. Attorney Robert S. Brewer. "Today's sentence reinforces our commitment to promote respect for the law and to advocate for just punishment." U.S. Attorney Brewer commended the work of Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Pletcher and the stellar team of law enforcement agents who dedicated countless hours to the successful investigation and prosecution of the GDMA corruption scheme. "Brooks Parks' sentencing is another unfortunate but fitting outcome because he willingly chose to put himself and his greed before the needs of the U.S.
