Hawaii area chief-selects participated in Laying the Keel training during the week of August 13th, at Sharkey and Hickam theaters located at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
Laying the Keel –Devolving the Backbone of Our Navy, was developed and instituted by retired Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, Steven S. Giodano in April of 2018, as part of the evolution from CPO 365 to SAILOR 360.
“Our Navy cannot build the framework for leadership without starting with Laying the Keel.” Said Giodano. “As our future enlisted leaders proceed from stern to bow over the course of their career, they building the backbone of the Navy that is both enduring and deeply connected to the heritage of those who have gone before them.”
The training is facilitated by trained and certified senior enlisted leaders, and delivered off-site in a location close to the waterfront or flight lines. Designed to be the foundation for a series of training, “Laying the Keel,” emphasizes character, ethics, leader, the profession of arms, self-awareness, and decision-making.
“Simply put, “Laying the Keel” gets down to the roots of what the Chiefs Creed says and how we as a mess live that, day in day out.” Said Command Master Chief Adrian D. Watkins, Commander Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific. “It is the foundation of what it means to be a chief petty officer (CPO), deeds not words are the best way to show leadership.”
Laying the Keel training was incorporated into this years’ CPO initiation, a professional educational and training environment that starts when chief select results come out and concludes with the CPO pinning ceremony.
Designed to challenge individuals as leaders of integrity, accountability, initiative and toughness; while instilling the unique values. Beliefs and expectations required, to lead Sailors in the Navy.
“This training makes clear the basic principles of leadership.” Said Watkins “ It is something all leaders can reflect on, ensuring we are upholding these anchors, and the weight of what they represent everyday.”
