Professional Knowledge Book Professional Knowledge Book Class of 2019 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE U.S. NAVY AND MARINE CORPS NAME___________________________ALPHA_____________________CO_______ 1 UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY Duty…. Honor…. Loyalty…. Character Development and Training Class of 2019, The Navy Warfare pins and Marine Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on the cover of this Professional Knowledge Book (Pro-Book) represent the service assignments for the Class of 2016. Regardless of which one you are assigned in the fall of 2018, there is a core professional knowledge that you are required to attain prior to receiving a commission as a basically trained Navy or Marine Corps Officer from the U.S. Naval Academy. The Midshipmen Training Program (MTP) is a primary means of accomplishing that requirement. The MTP consists of six basic components: 1. Midshipmen Qualification Standards (MQS) – books that are divided by class year and contain core learning objectives (LO). Yours is in the back of this Pro-Book. 2. References – used to acquire the knowledge necessary to complete the MQS. They include this Pro-Book, websites listed in each MQS, and files posted at: http://intranet.usna.edu/Training/Professional%20Knowledge%20References.php. 3. Instruction Periods – used for “come-arounds” and other training opportunities during which you will show that you have mastered the LOs. 4. 4/C Pro-Quizzes/Exam – quizzes administered weekly to assess comprehension of the applicable LOs, and a Pro-Exam administered at the end of the fall semester as a mid-point evaluation for Plebe Year. 5. Professional Competency Boards (PCB) – oral boards administered to 4/C Midshipmen in the spring to objectively assess comprehension of all LOs for the year. 6. Professional Competency Assessments (PCA) – multiple choice exams administered to upper class (non-Plebe) midshipmen to objectively assess comprehension of LOs. The MTP is managed by the Character Development and Training Division (CD&T). It is part of a training continuum that includes the Career Information Program (CIP) managed by the Professional Development (PRODEV) Division, and Core Courses taught by PRODEV and the Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) Division. This continuum is intended to: • Prepare you for each summer’s training events • Enable you to make informed choices regarding your preferences for service assignment • Prepare you to be a junior officer As you move forward during this year, take pride in your growing knowledge and understanding of the Naval Service. Take advantage of this opportunity and it will contribute to your success here at the academy, and more importantly in the Fleet. CDR J.J.

LT Nathaniel Lopez is the USNA Midshipmen Financial Advisor, located in Bancroft Hall 3008. His mission is to provide Personal Finance guidance and information to the Brigade of Midshipmen. The Midshipmen Pay System is just as important in order for Midshipmen to understand their source of income while attending USNA. The Midshipmen Pay System is run by the Disbursing Officer, LT Andrew Thorp, located in Bancroft Hall 4002. It is important that every Midshipman attending USNA learns about Personal Finance and the Midshipmen Pay System in order to gain control of their finances. While attending USNA over the next 4 years, Midshipmen will earn approximately a minimum of $14,600 of net pay through the Midshipmen stipend (explained in Section I). Additionally, at the end of their 3/C year they will be offered the Career Loan of up to $36,000. Therefore, knowledge of Personal Finance and the Midshipmen pay system is vital for Midshipmen to make educated financial decisions. As future leaders, financial literacy is not only essential to make smart financial choices, but to help guide those Sailors/Marines who may find themselves in financial need. I. Midshipmen Pay System The Midshipmen stipend (pay/allowances) is appropriated for Midshipmen to be outfitted and to financially fulfill military and academic responsibilities while at the Naval Academy. Congress establishes the Midshipmen stipend at 35% of the base pay rate of an O-1 with fewer than two years of service. The stipend for the calendar year 2016 is $1,027 per month. After the following deductions; Taxes, Social Security, Medicare, Service Member Group Life Insurance (SGLI), Personal Deductions, Advance for Clothing and Equipment (ACE) Loan repayment, and Held Pay, the standard monthly pay amounts released to Midshipmen is: • $100 for 4/C MIDN ($1,200 per year) • $200 for 3/C MIDN ($2,400 per year) • $300 for 2/C MIDN ($3,600 per year) • 1/C MIDN pay ranges from approx. $430-$805 ($7,405.00 per year average) There are many factors associated with the Midshipmen pay system. Not only do Midshipmen need to understand how much they are receiving per month, but where to access the money, how to read their Leave and Earnings Statement, and to overall understand the Midshipmen pay system. The following terminology will help better understand this system: • MyPay (https://mypay.dfas.mil/mypay.aspx.): is an online pay account management system that was created and maintained by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS). It provides paycheck and tax information for military members, retirees, annuitants, and numerous federal civilian employees. This is where you, as a Midshipman, will be able to view your Leave and Earnings Statements. You must log in/change your password at least once every 60 days to avoid being locked out of your MyPay account. To avoid such hassle, make it a habit to view your account once per month. • Leave and Earnings Statement (LES): The LES is a comprehensive statement of a member's leave and earnings showing your entitlements, deductions, leave information, and tax withholding information.

Lynne Pace, wife of General Peter Pace, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the proud sponsor. It was a cloudy, rainy, and very humid day in Pascagoula but the weather did not dampen the spirits of those in attendance. The organizers were very well prepared with red, white and blue umbrellas. There was a lot of excitement in the shipyard. Lynne's words were heartfelt. She addressed the shipyard workers and told them she was honored to be the sponsor of AMERICA. She said the word America is enormous. It means many things to many people. Freedom, pride and diversity are just some examples. She encouraged the shipyard workers, a very diverse group truly representative of America, to do their very best. She was given a plaque made of heavy stainless steel in the shape of the United States of America. NAVAL HISTORICAL FOUNDATION ANNUAL MEETING CEREMONY AND LUNCHEON HONORING ADMIRAL JAMES L.

  • United States Navy Hospital Corpsman
    HOSPITAL CORPSMAN “Health is necessary in war and cannot be replaced by anything else. Napoleon The primary mission of the Medical Department of the United States Navy, of which the Hospital Corps is a part, is s To keep as many men at as many guns as many days as possible As a member of the Hospital Corps you can contribute directly to the job of keeping our guns firing. There is no better way to serve your country and your fellow man. If you can qualify for admission to the Hospital Corps, the Navy will train you for your duties. Prepared for the Occupational information and Guidance Service, Vocational Division, U. S. OFFICE OF EDUCATION, Federal Security Agency, by the Hospital Corps Section, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, UNITED STATES NAVY . December 1, 1943 INTRODUCTION From its very beginning as an established Corps in 1898 the Hospital Corps of the United States Navy has been devoted to humanitarian service. It has administered first aid and nursing care to the sick and injured of the Navy and Marine Corps during three of the Nation’s wars, and through the many years of intervening peace. For more than a century prior to its organization by act of Congress* the pioneers of the Hospital Corps—the Hospital Mates, the Hospital Stewards, the Surgeon’s Stewards, the Apothecaries, the Nurses and the Bay men—served faithfully and energetically in the Medical Department of the Navy. On numerous occasions of the past members of the Hospital Corps have been assigned to civilian areas for first-aid and relief work in times of disaster.

  • Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 30, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33745 SUMMARY RL33745 Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) September 30, 2021 Program: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke The Aegis ballistic missile defense (BMD) program, which is carried out by the Missile Defense Specialist in Naval Affairs Agency (MDA) and the Navy, gives Navy Aegis cruisers and destroyers a capability for conducting BMD operations. BMD-capable Aegis ships operate in European waters to defend Europe from potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as Iran, and in in the Western Pacific and the Persian Gulf to provide regional defense against potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as North Korea and Iran. MDA’s FY2022 budget submission states that “by the end of FY 2022 there will be 48 total BMDS [BMD system] capable ships requiring maintenance support.” The Aegis BMD program is funded mostly through MDA’s budget. The Navy’s budget provides additional funding for BMD-related efforts. MDA’s proposed FY2021 budget requested a total of $1,647.9 million (i.e., about $1.6 billion) in procurement and research and development funding for Aegis BMD efforts, including funding for two Aegis Ashore sites in Poland and Romania. MDA’s budget also includes operations and maintenance (O&M) and military construction (MilCon) funding for the Aegis BMD program. Issues for Congress regarding the Aegis BMD program include the following: whether to approve, reject, or modify MDA’s annual procurement and research and development funding requests for the program; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the execution of Aegis BMD program efforts; what role, if any, the Aegis BMD program should play in defending the U.S.
