Naval Postgraduate School, particularly the non-resident program, is a drastically underutilized program. I was intimidated by the idea of pursuing my MS while on active duty. This is a school designed specifically for us with programs which make us more successful in both our current AND future careers.
1) The faculty are mostly active, former, and retired military and GS. They know what it means to serve and are personally motivated to support us. Their first job is to teach. From the application process to the class structure and schedule, everything is designed to help us succeed, even if it has been a minute since we have been in a professional academic setting.
2) The curriculum is designed for military personnel and the work we do. It is directly applicable to the work we do. Even our Capstone/Thesis directly support the operating forces.
Examples:
- My probability and statistics class was taught by an Army LTC who showed us how he used those fundamentals to build a predictive model to assist TMCC/UMCC in Afghanistan to predict high IED risk routes and keep convoys safe.
- My modeling and simulation class had us building models that simulated complex attacks against surface action groups to estimate ASCM salvo requirements and predict survivability for the SAG.
- My Capstone was building an architecture for a detect and avoid capability for Group 4/5 UAS. I worked alongside students whose day job was at NAVAIR developing UAS programs of record. That project has helped me on my current job developing an operational test plan for ground vehicles with automated driving capabilities. The project was submitted by one of my classmates’ supervisors for an existing program of record.

Royal NavyUK Ministry of DefenceGOV.UK what do you consider modern about wanting a Capt.(RN) to carry out the duties of a Commodore but without receiving the recognised pay of a Commodore? 🤔 (See first picture comment).
Full Steam Astern?
If this is how high ranking officers are treated in a modern Navy, then God help the ratings!

I have long said sailors are mariners and warfighters first and foremost.
So naturally, I find a lot to like in the below from the US NavyOffice of the Chief of Naval Operations. Clear, succinct and on point.
Clarity of purpose and a clear-eyed vision of the threat is important. Of course, a conflict in the Indo-Pacific would be catastrophic and we must do all we can to prevent it where possible. But failing to prepare for it or acknowledge it simply undermines deterrence.
If conflict is to arise in the Indo-Pacific it will be fought across all domains, military and non-military but geography dictates it will likely be very much maritime in nature. We must prepare our maritime warfighters for this potential, and we must do so now, and hope in doing so we bolster our deterrence strategy.
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti released her priorities in a paper titled “America’s Warfighting Navy,” at the Surface Navy Association’s National Symposium, Jan. 9.
This is an outstanding list of priorities. This is what the Space Force should have. Nowhere in here does the Navy say it's a support force for the other services. Nowhere in here does it say it relies on others to do it's missions. It's a warfighting service that deters and projects combat, warfighting power. The CNO has provided the example for the CSO. Let's replace the "Comprehensive Strategy for the Space Force" with a spacepower version of this!!!

“Science, in the immediate, produces knowledge and, indirectly, means of action. It leads to methodical action if definite goals are set up in advance. For the function of setting up goals and passing statements of value transcends its domain. While it is true that science, to the extent of its grasp of causative connections, may reach important conclusions as to the compatibility and incompatibility of goals and evaluations, the independent and fundamental definitions regarding goals and values remain beyond science's reach.”

Prioritizing the Culture of Service, What Lessons can be Taught from Military Service at Navy League of the United States’ #SeaAirSpace 2024
Sailor life offers unrivaled opportunities for young Americans seeking purpose and adventure, but such personal fulfillment is only possible amidst a service-wide culture of respect, duty, professionalism, and service to others. This extends beyond those in uniform, to include strong support for spouses and children. It also extends beyond the length of one’s time in service, as each Sailor, Marine, and Sentinel is expected to maintain the integrity and strength of character developed while in uniform even after transitioning out of service. How does America develop the greatest Sailors, Marines, and Sentinels in the world and how will we continue to do so? We heard from the senior enlisted members of these renowned sea services and learned about the tireless work they undertake to ensure that the quality of our servicemembers remain the envy of the world.
