thank you very much uh outstanding here
on a great contribution to all of you
though . Thank all of you for what you
do , right ? Um It's good to get out
finally for me , I'm getting out right
away for my predecessor got held down
by covid you couldn't travel . And so
I'm making a point to get out and see
our cbs wherever I can because I feel
like I owe it to you . Okay , well , I
got your attention from it . I want you
because when I was your age I had no
idea what the person is doing my job
did for me . So I'm gonna make an
assumption that most of you probably
don't know what the heck I do . I got
this title . What does that mean ? What
I do ? So I am , I'm our community
manager , kind of the protector of our
rates , right ? It's my job to make
sure that your TCP your career path
right there ladders , right ? That's
the training that goes wrong to match
your career path , that we have
educational opportunities for your in
rate professional development and
that's my focus is your rate . I also
look at what jobs are good for your
career and the career path and make
sure there's opportunity to get to
those and that those jobs are
recognized as good jobs as you continue
to promote . Um and that takes some
realigning and a lot of administrative
stuff that's quite boring . Um but it's
all to make sure that I get things done
for you . I publish a my office , I
don't personally do anything except
where I say yes , I approved . We
published a thing called the Yellow
Canary . So the fact that the last pig
that Yellow Canary , there's a there's
a chart with a timeline on it that that
chart . I published that on purpose so
that you guys all of you could look at
it and then hold me accountable to get
those things done . Right ? So in the
beginning of that chart said , the CCPS
need to get updated . I took the job
november 24th september 1st . It was
done back off to millington Admiral .
Sign them out soon . And then you guys
can look at and make sure that you're
reading that and uh , you're aligning
your career path in the right place .
Right then . Just like I said , we've
started work on the ladders now and
it's my planet is six months from now .
They will be complete . But every every
quarter I'll publish that that yellow
Canary , you know , have in there will
be complete and what we've added on to
that for that charter to get after . Um
So I asked if you look at that review
the documents that we've updated . Um ,
and then if I'm not getting that
something you think , let me notice
that's my report card to use to show
you what I'm doing for you , right ? I
will leave you with one resounding
message , right ? Might I want you to
focus on your inR eight professional
development . Right ? We we see
these are invited to go to the war ,
not because we fight because we can
build and then fight . So I need you to
get the building networks in your rate .
Where your operator mechanic ,
electrician builders , steelworker at
any one of our seven or eight E . A .
Uh I need you to focus on your end rate .
Professor gulf . I will work at
opportunities to go to school . I'm
working right now . Maybe we're looking
at making um The feasibility of
making C . school is mandatory for
every E five . Uh sending chiefs back
to east uh C school and they've been
removed from construction for a while
analyzing what that right periodicity
is . Uh looking for uh industry
standard training where we can send CVS
off to get industry standard training .
Um And then
the Navy College working with the Navy
College Stand up . The Navy College ,
you guys hear that there'll be 22
degrees , right ? Construction
technology degree in the project
management degree uh for steven . So
all those efforts are happening all uh
all throughout my tour . And by the end
of my tour , I plan to have all those
things done where you guys can you can
open up a menu asking command to go to
uh I don't know a welding class . The
steelworkers . We send you off to
Hobart for for a week or two to hone
those skills . But again , my focus is
all about your rate . And I ask that
you help them part of the Navy's model
uh for training their self study ,
right ? And so whatever your expertise
is in your rate , I asked you pick up a
trade magazine and read what's
happening in your rate , right ? I
happen to be my portas roof framing .
That's what I like to do most . I mean
uh two days ago I read a article on
high heeled trusses and I don't talk
about high heels to wear the heel
height of the trust and the benefit of
the R value . Right ? I don't know if
I'll ever apply to anything we do , but
it's keeping me sharp on my carpentry
skills , right ? And what's happening
in industry , I expect you guys to be
doing the same . So I read that in the
Journal of light framing , but there's
plenty , there's plenty of other
journals out there that uh you guys can
look into and and just keep up speed on
your stuff . Right . That makes sense .
Now , open up any questions . You guys
have any questions for me for the
different programs you mentioned for
the Navy College . How can that help us
with our life ranking ?
So let's do you want , what's um
they're building the Navy College right
now , There's only gonna be six
sessions for the first semester . And
so this is this is very very new how
that's going to reflect and evaluations
or reflect your career path . We're not
even talking about that yet . What we
recognize is the ability for you to get
a degree that it's complementary to
what we use in the field . There's a
lot of goodness in it , for the Navy
and a lot of goodness in it for you .
Uh So that's what we're focused on
right now . I can't really tell you how
it will tie into an evaluation or
whatever will right now there's no talk
of that . What I see if if you get a
construction technology degree is gonna
make you a better be one and I'm gonna
get when I put you to work out in the
field , I'm gonna get a better quality
out of it . Alright ? Hey , I will keep
you out here and thank you for your
time . Thank you for what you do enjoy
your time at that . You've got all
these subject matter experts in the
building , make sure you cozy up to him
and learn as much as you can from them .
And then when you come back you guys
have to apply it at work . Thanks
