This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research analyzes the United States Naval Academy's (USNA) admissions and professional development processes and their impact on the career development of its graduates in the Unrestricted Line (URL) communities. Three hypotheses are advanced to explain the high level of fleet performance and retention of USNA graduates: selectivity of applicants; Navy-specific human capital investment; and institutional favoritism. Non-linear LOGIT regression models for the USNA Classes of 1980 through 1985 are developed to analyze the influence of the hypothesed factors on the probability of a midshipman: (a) graduating from the USNA, and (b) developing into a career officer. Both the USNA's composite "whole-person" and individual selection criteria play a significant role in the probability of graduation. Non-scholastic affective selection criteria, and both affective military performance and Navy-specific cognitive skill development at the US NA, are positively associated with the development of career officers. Additionally, several key predictors of career potential are identified. A paradigm shift in perspective from the current short-term context to a life-cycle career context is recommended in the "whole- person" selection and development of USNA midshipmen..

Download or read book Blue Gold and Black written by Robert John Schneller and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twentieth century, the U.S. Naval Academy evolved from a racist institution to one that ranked equal opportunity among its fundamental tenets. This transformation was not without its social cost, however, and black midshipmen bore the brunt of it. Blue & Gold and Black is the history of integration of African Americans into the Naval Academy. The book examines how civil rights advocates? demands for equal opportunity shaped the Naval Academy?s evolution. Author Robert J. Schneller Jr. analyzes how changes in the Academy?s policies and culture affected the lives of black midshipmen, as well as how black midshipmen effected change in the Academy?s policies and culture. Most institutional history is written from the top down, while most social history is written from the bottom up. Based on the documentary record as well as on the memories of hundreds of midshipmen and naval officers, Blue & Gold and Black includes both perspectives. By examining both the institution and the individual, a much more accurate picture emerges of how racial integration occurred at the Naval Academy. Schneller takes a biographical approach to social history. Through written correspondence, responses to questionnaires, memoirs, and oral histories, African American midshipmen recount their experiences in their own words. Rather than setting adrift their humanity and individuality in oceans of statistics, Schneller uses their first-hand recollections to provide insights into the Academy?s culture that cannot be gained from official records. Covering the Jim Crow era, the civil rights movement, and the empowerment of African Americans from the late 1960s through the end of the twentieth century, Blue & Gold and Black traces the transformation of an institution that produces men and women who lead not only the Navy, but also the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This useful companion volume to the Naval Institute's Division Officer's Guide and Naval Officer's Guide addresses an aspect of a naval officer's career that is every bit as important: navigating through the rocks and shoals of the Navy's promotion and assignment system. In a fresh and engaging style, Admiral Winnefeld explains how the Navy's assignment and promotion systems work and details how on-the-job performance plays a key role in both. His advice is timeless, and his retirement status allows him to be completely candid. The book draws from many experts and astute observers of the Navy's system for advancing its best officers.

Download or read book Developing the Naval Mind written by Benjamin F Armstrong and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the history of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, leading officers and strategists have advocated for formal colleges and schools for naval officers but have also made the case that true naval professionalism requires a career-long dedication to learning and to self-improvement. This was the impetus behind the very founding of the U.S. Naval Institute by officers who believed that the Navy's lack of support for their education meant they needed to create their own organization for self-study and cooperative learning. Naval luminaries like admirals William Sims and Ernest King continued to campaign for self-study and the personal pursuit of professional knowledge during the twentieth century, distributing lists of suggested books for officers to read and promoting their ideas widely through speeches and published works. While recommending that officers read broadly in pursuit of individual knowledge is an important part of creating a truly educated and professional Fleet and Fleet Marine Force, it is also important for leaders in the sea services to offer mentorship and create opportunities for discourse that encourages group learning. Developing the Naval Mind serves as a how-to manual and syllabus for leaders to create and lead wardroom, ready room, and work center discussion groups across the fleet to create a more educated and professionally engaged Navy and Marine Corps.

This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the relationship between pre-commissioning and post-commissioning characteristics and junior surface naval officer performance, retention, and promotion. The study uses data from the Officer Promotion History Files, (1981-1995). Data on 7,038 officers entering the Navy from 1976 to 1986 are analyzed. Results indicate that Naval Academy graduates, business majors, officers with CRUDES experience, and non-minority officers are more likely to achieve Surface Warfare qualification and receive top fitness report scores. NESEP and NROTC graduates, math majors, officers with CRUDES experience and top fitness reports, and minorities officers are more likely to stay in the Navy to the O4 promotion board. Academy graduates, engineering majors, officers with CRUDES experience, and officers with top fitness reports are more likely to promote to Lieutenant Commander. No significant difference is observed between minority and non-minority O4 promotion probabilities after pre-commissioning and post-commissioning factors are controlled. However, the effects of CRUDES experience, warfare qualification, and fitness report scores may lead to indirect effects which lead to observed performance and promotion rate differences between race/ethnic groups.
