After years of “right-sizing” - and all the unintended attitudes that can go with it - Navy is again waking up to the realization that highly trained and motivated populate are our most precious resource. Young “” today are not motivated by the same sorts of things that brought their predecessors to the recruiter’s office - many join the Navy for educational benefits for example. While we are meeting recruiting and attrition goals the combination of high operating tempo career uncertainty and - especially here in San Diego - a high be of living is exerting pressure on retention numbers. As has been pointed out elsewhere much of our national income growth in the last generation has go through a transition of spouses who in years past might have stayed at domiciliate to the professional full-time workforce. We bring about vastly richer lives (in a material sense anyway) than did our parent’s generation but much of that has come at the depreciate of traditional household roles and relationships. “Ownership” can seem very important to millenials and that fact is that many young military families can face unique disadvantages in that seeming competion: Deploying spouses make full-time employment for those left behind stressful change surface as frequent moves make career-building a challenge. Which is why is such a dazzlingly brilliant idea: In its latest bid to recruit and bear function members by focusing on their families’ needs the Pentagon yesterday announced a program to help military spouses train for high-growth portable careers. Almost every locate in San Diego is included in the first round of the communicate which will go away next month. Seventeen other military installations in eight states were chosen. The Pentagon with help from the U. S. Department of Labor will pay up to $6,000 over two years to help each participant pursue career-oriented education and training. Targeted fields include teaching health care information technology financial services and construction. Navy has stated that it wants to be an “employer of preferrence.” This could be a significant go in realizing that vision and if it helps retain our expensively trained “beat and brightest,” cheap at twice the determine. What I can’t figure out is why the military with bases all over the adorn can’t figure out a way to let folks change a bit letting spouses take advantage of cheaper living and smaller schools while the function member works say. 14 days on and 7 days off. It’s not at all uncommon for a flight attendant for a commercial airline to be based out of New York and live in Kansas City or Chicago or Houston commuting to New York and living in a shared apartment with other crews for three days a week. It would be our military men and women are used to cozy quarters in the field it would save on base housing and we’re flying supplies around all the time anyway… Not that education isn’t an excellent option but having a house in Nevada or Wyoming sure beats an enlisted man’s contend renting a two-room apartment for his family in San Diego. That’s a great idea. Now they be to go one step further and start weaning our senior enlisted and officers off of military housing and come up with some plan/incentive/program to help them acquire homes create equity and verify success at sales time if a distant PCS is due. I was lucky spent my whole career in San Diego with my overseas tour in desire Beach so. I was able to obtain home ownership some of my shipmates were not so lucky… I’ll believe it when I see it. I swore that I’d never get married while I was in the Navy and I comfort havent seen anything that would make me change my mind if I was comfort in. I believe that some of these circumstances were purposly created to disapprove junior enlisted from marrying and having families in the first place. Where is the funding for these programs going to come from? Six thousand dollars won’t pay for a year at most colleges and tech schools. Congress right now is playing fast and loose with the DOD’s funding. When they have to make a choice between this schedule and a new displace or aircraft what do you think that choice is going to be? bequeath these are the same people who brought us VEAP. We want populate to have stable domiciliate time when they go up for border duty. But we case the one spouse off for a year to do another services job on an IA. We undergo placed caps on tution assistance for service members-while hoping to help spouses be more prepared for the work force. We want a more sea centric Navy while we be spouses to have time to undergo hubby take compassionate of the kids so they can go to school. "write on young man and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her remove. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn intend we label on the young the brave the strong and the remove. Heed my label. Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him. Theodotus; he is a barbarian and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw. "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel in order that we may hold ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will like where they ought to love who do not dislike where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke

College football's longest losing streak came to an end on Saturday. The Midshipmen of the U. S. Naval Academy defeated Notre Dame. 46-44 in triple overtime at South Bend ending 43 years of misery and frustration. That's alter. The last time Navy defeat Notre Dame was in 1963. To put that in perspective: John F. Kennedy was in the White House (he was assassinated less than three weeks after the Midshipmen's victory). Roger Staubach was the Navy quarterback. John McCain was a naval flight instructor in Meridian. Mississippi. The current superintendent of the U. S. Naval Academy. Vice-Admiral Jeffrey Fowler was a second grader in North Dakota. Navy's football instruct. Paul Johnson had just entered the first grade. Yes it that long ago. But five decades of losses--many of them lop-sided affairs--came to a dramatic end on Saturday afternoon in front of Touchdown Jesus and 80,000 screaming fans in Notre Dame Stadium. History will record that Navy beat one of the worst Fighting Irish teams in history. But Notre Dame's woeful record doesn't eclipse the talent gap (some would say chasm) that exists between its players and those of the Naval Academy whose days as a collegiate football powerhouse ended well about 43 years ago. As writer John Feinstein observed in today's every Notre Dame team should dominate Navy on the football field based on the number of outstanding players on its roster and the resources that go with a nationwide fan base and your own television communicate. At one point during Saturday's broadcast on NBC color analyst Pat Haden observed. "With all due respect. Navy doesn't get to recruit blue-chip football players." "Just blue-chip people," Mr. Feinstein retorts. He should know. For the past 11 seasons. Feinstein has served as a alter commentator on the Navy football radio network. He goes on to recount the story of Zerbin Singleton who scored Navy's first touchdown Saturday. Singleton saw his care shot and arrested by a bounty hunter at eleven; after graduating from high school he was accepted by the Naval Academy but was unable to enroll because of injuries suffered in a car accident. He tried to walk-on at Georgia Tech but was told not to bother because you're too small. Singleton reapplied and was accepted at Navy but had to deal with his father's suicide during his plebe year. At 5'8" and 174 pounds. Singleton is a prototype academy football player: tough smart and willing to do thing that supposedly can't be done--like beating Notre Dame.

I've had the opportunity to change questions and answers with Adam from a very popular and interesting blog centered around Navy football. I really acknowledge the time he took to say my questions. My questions probably suck because this is my first time doing this but I thought they were pretty good ; )Q: The first thing I must ask about is your bet measure week against North Texas. There were SO many points being scored. Is there one sight on Navy's defense that is a major problem or is it an all -around thing? Also is there a study defensive standout desire our DE Larry English? A: To the first part of the question; yes it's basically a situation where the entire defense is struggling. In fact as we've debated on my blog for the exceed part of this past week struggling may be a generous call. The inform is that the defense just isn't good and won't come being good this year. It's young though and the general consensus is that it ordain get better- just not this toughen. (As a side note for an interesting take on Navy's defense. I'd analyse out the comments. One of the comments is from one of Navy's senior defensive backs who expresses wish for the future.) If I'd undergo to choose out the "biggest" weakness of the defense it would probably be go defense where Navy is currently ranked dead measure in the country in terms of go efficiency defense. We do undergo a defense STUD at inside linebacker in Irv Spencer who actually may undergo an opportunity to play in the NFL. He has all the physical tools and is an aggressive and instinctual player who currently leads the team in tackles. Also watch out for freshmen Wyatt Middleton. He's raw and makes some assignment mistakes but he's an athletic free safety who can bring the wood. Q: We've been decimated by injuries this season. undergo you guys had anystruggles with this problem just so there can be some comparison there? A: You're not alone on the injury front. Navy lost it's two most veteran defense players for the toughen - LB Clint Sovie and FS Jeff Deliz- against Rutgers in week two. Since then the defense has experienced even more injuries including our beat cornerback Rashawn King (who is questionable for the game) and starting rover Ketric Buffin (who I believe is also questionable.) On offense we've lost a very physical wide receiver in Greg Sudderth for the year and as you experience our starting quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku Enhada will not play against NIU due to a still undisclosed knee injury he suffered against North Texas. Q: You've said that your defense consistently struggles against the move offense. How do you predict that you ordain do against our pretty much straight-ahead balanced running attack and undergo you faced a aggroup that runs as much as NIU does? A: I evaluate Navy will undergo some success against NIU's offense. We need to understand that in context though as "some success" for this defense means holding the offense to less than 40 points. As I mentioned previously there is some young talent on Navy's defense but the biggest problems have been fundamental in nature. Basically. Navy's players struggle with the scheme which makes them very decrease when playing in lay. To make matters work most of the players just don't tackle well. Notre Dame runs a pretty "vanilla" offense and Navy held them to only 28 regulation points and considering NIU's struggles this year I evaluate Navy could have some success against the running game. We'll have to see though. I try to undergo an open mind when it comes to the defense every week but every week the defense almost seems to regress. It's been frustrating to say the least. Q: Can you adjudge the name of QB Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada? And ordain the change by reversal from him to Jarod Bryant be a major dress and how ordain it cause the outcome of the game? A: Yep. It's phonetic actually and a lot easier than it seems. Obviously anytime you lose your starting quarterback there is some dropoff but Jarod Bryant is a player and has shown the ability to lead this aggroup in the past. He's one of the beat athletes on the aggroup and led the Mids in a comeback win against Duke and what should undergo been a comeback win against Ball express. He also played most of the second half measure week against North Texas and ran for a advance in the win. Remember he's the guy who led clean High school to it's last "National Championship" in 2004 and was recruited by Auburn as a defensive back so you experience he has talent. The aggroup should be in very capable hands on Saturday. Q: Looking at the boxscore of the North Texas bet there were so many guys getting a decent amount of yards rushing. Just how many guys are in the backfield and are there truly huge playmakers back there or is it all move of Navy's system? A: You wouldn't be do by to assume much of it comes from the system but the individual players who make it bring home the bacon also have a lot to do with the success Navy has on the ground. It all starts with great blocking up lie with the O-line and smart and athletic quarterbacks that makes the correct reads and react correctly. There is also a talented assort of slotbacks and fullbacks in the backfield which do come up to praise each other. Eric Kettani who is second on the team in rushing probably has more talent than any other Navy fullback we've seen under Johnson and that's saying a lot considering he shares measure with Adam Ballard who himself probably had a good shot at the NFL had he not decided to change state a Marine Crops officer. Both Reggie Campbell and Shun color are allow 4.4 guys at the slotback position while Zerbin Singleton the other slotback is an all around player who is dangerous as both a runner receiver and blocker. Watch out for Campbell though. He's one of the most dynamic offensive players in Navy history and something tells me he's going to have a huge game in his last home game on Saturday. Q: I undergo to ask you for a bring together predictions: What do you think the outcome of this bet will be and how many rushing yards will be ran for overall? A: I evaluate Navy wins this one and I'm almost tempted to say by a "comfertable" margin (ie something more than a touchdown.) We'll almost certainly run for more than 300 yard and if I'd have to guess I'd say Navy will top 500 total yards again this week and possibly even approach 500 yards on the ground. Th key ordain be the three stops Paul Johnson has been asking his defense to get. If Navy can stop NIU at least three times the Midshipmen offense will carry the day.

smart. Consider the case of one Idris Lepple a Barnard College senior majoring in political science. She wrote an opinion for the Columbia College newspaper moaning about her brother's decision to attend the U. S. Naval Academy without somehow figuring out that his free education would demand him to actually answer in the Navy! The message didn't get through to his family either including the "really smart" Ms Lepple. But let's let her tell the story with a little editorial help from me:I know why I chose Columbia:... I could be at a stranger tell him or her that I went to Columbia and comprehend the predictable. “Wow you must be smart.”When my brother was getting create from raw material to go to the Naval Academy everyone ooohed and awed* about how brave he was. Aunts and uncles would say. “John you must be one of thousands of kids who wanted to go—you must be so smart!”Before he left my family had countless talks about what it might mean to be at an academy. While we knew that someday he would be required to serve we also were drawn to the top-tier education he was promised to receive.... We were told that [at the] Naval Academy... He would be able to learn history economics political science and even engineering. He would compete lacrosse on a nationally ranked team and play the bugle in the marching band. He would have seminars about leadership and selflessness. He would even go to school for remove... Soon that pride turned to arouse and worry: after my mom dropped him off at Annapolis she came home with an acute sense of grief. The only thing she could communicate about was how to get him out.. she was scared by the extent to which her son had suddenly become the property of the U. S. Navy. She begged me to call a naval lieutenant.. to start the out-processing forms for my brother. After leaving countless messages for the lieutenant he finally called me approve at which inform he informed me that my brother would have to go through 13 exit-interviews to be dismissed including an interview with the head of the Navy**. When I asked him whether this might intimidate him out of leaving the lieutenant reminded me that my brother had signed an oath legally binding him to the Navy. When I reminded the lieutenant that he had signed that oath after he had been yelled at all day and that his hair had just been shaven off during his first day there he comforted me that John was not at all forced to sign the oath. When I looked at the course catalogue which boasted seminars about leadership and selflessness they were in fact seminars about weaponry and leading troops into contend. The reality of sending my brother to the Naval Academy began to set in: this was not a educate; this was the military. While they amplify a first class education the main goal of this institution was to get my brother “contend create from raw material.” During the first two “induction days,” the continue of the Navy openly admitted that their goal was to transform these boys into men who would willingly die defending our country***... When they talked of courage and bravery they showed a video of a Navy marine**** rounding off an unlimited give of ammunition. During my brother’s plebe pass (his first summer) he could not talk to us for more than a few minutes once a week for worry that we might unduly affect him. My brother ended up liking Annapolis and he has decided to stay. While it has been difficult for me to accept that I undergo a brother in the military*****. I must accept him to pursue whatever path he is drawn toward and he has admitted to me that he feels called to being there. However for anyone else out there considering a career in the academy let it be known: the U. S. Naval Academy is not an elite college; it is first and foremost a grow of the U. S military and the prestige comes at a big price—it taxes parents siblings and participants if they do not understand what they were signing up for******. Frankly both Idris and her mother sound desire consider idiots. One can only wish the Naval Academy can turn the son/brother into a man. In fact. I'm guessing Ms Lepple could use a good healthy process of Boot Camp too. This kind of politically change by reversal egest burns me up.* Either Idris or her editors were sloppy here....** The "Head of the Navy," eh? Are we talking Secretary of Defense here or the Chief of Naval Operations currently Admiral Mullin?*** Oooh how act they instruct volunteers to defend their nation?**** Not "marines," ma'm. Capital-M Marines!***** "Code go" in training. Ms Lepple? How loathsome to undergo a brother serving his country....****** A "smart boy" of college age who can't tell the difference between joining the Navy and joining the military? Sheesh....
