Funding is a concern as Chapters are finding creative ways to spread the word. It has not changed from what the program was initially driven to become, everyone here knows you need support of the program from the higher ups, if not the program will not even move forward! (No time off, what are you doing, is this an approved Navy program, why do we need it, and the list goes on) Instead of posting negative comments, you should be supporting the program and helping it to succeed instead of enjoying watching another program that could actually benefit Junior Sailors fail!

Most of these garbage programs, from the Business Enterprise stuff to Lafleur's SeaSwap, to this diversity BS are all designed to create Fitrep bullets. Change for Change's sake. Thirty years ago, someone putting a message or program like this would have gotten a slap to the back of the head and told everybody knows this, stop looking for recognition, and get back to work. Now this idiot is a hero. Gee, we never knew abusing your wife or kids was bad for business. The Navy is becoming (or maybe already has) the Boy Scouts.

Volcanos, earthquakes, terrorist groups, revoultions etc. But like I said above this program should have stayed at the local level where the regional commands could have tailored it as they saw fit. Every year there is a new problem in each region, so why not just be allowed to tailor the training towards that need. Instead it is going to be some rubber stamp, mando-fun that will have to hit each of those topics listed in the msg by the end of the year.

There is a reason for this as YNSN says, it was coming from the deckplates where the Khaki mafia are screaming that us front line leaders need to lead from. The idea was that Junior E-6's, E-5's and some senior E-4's who have made some of these mistakes (such as $ troubles, or marriage troubles) can be there to tell thier tales and hope to influence people. See the Safety Center is doing the same thing with junior safety personnel with regards for traffic issues. There some sailors are TAD'd from their commands to the Safety Center and then sent as a group to various bases to talk about DUI, Sleep driving, Cell/Text Driving, Speeding, and other stupid things. The idea being that if our junior personnel are hearing the lecture from someone thier own age then they will pay attention.<br /><br />Now that someone has pay attention to the informal program, they are trying to make it a mando-fun program. That is where we as senior leadership make the mistakes. Instead of assigning this as a check in the block thing like some other GMT, it should have stayed as an informal program and been sent out as a lessons learned to the CO/XO/CMC level message. From there maybe just say this is some ideas on how to run the program and let the TyCom level or lower mandate how they want to run the program. For example if SubPac sees an issue with earthquake, check cashing, and first aid are the major personnel issues this year, mean while NavEur sees DUI/Sex/and general personal finance as their issues then that is what they will train on. THe way that OPNAV should run this is basically just assign it as a collateral duty to some O-6 or above there to basically send out a quarterly message about who the commands could contact as a clearing house for some of these issues. With the Fleet Family Service Centers at the top of the list and going down from there. That way we in the front line leadership can have the right resources to help with these issues.<br /><br />But what do I know, I am just a E-6 with too much time in and watching how good programs are corrupted when they arrive in Arlington, VA.Southern Air Piratenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-20904082949078997452010-06-28T17:30:48.000-04:002010-06-28T17:30:48.000-04:00Mullen Youth.
