Fleet Readiness Center Southeast Welcomes First F-5N Tiger II From Fleet Readiness Center Southeast Public Affairs A group gathered in a Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) hangar eagerly awaiting the arrival of the depot’s first F-5N Tiger II fighter, Sept. 11. As the aircraft taxied, trumped in size by the P-8As it passed on the flight line, it showcased its most anticipated attributes. Cmdr. Matt Pearce, F-5 pilot instructor with Fighter Squadron Composite 111 based at NAS Key West, Florida, described it as small, maneuverable and cost-effective — saving the warfighter and taxpayer money, materials and resources. “What we don’t have in technology, we make up in tactics and knowledge,” Pearce said. “Once you take your eyes off of us outside of a mile to a mile and a half, it’s very hard to pick us back up.” Plainly put, by training an F/A-18 pilot in a jet used by the adversary in combat, he or she learns how to outwit and out maneuver the enemy.

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.
