Military ranks of the Royal Navy

First Term Paper My Senior Enlisted Leader, Senior Chief Medina, stressed that even though he believes there is a clear right answer to this case study, but it is not an easy decision to make. The mission is very important, and in the Constitutional Paradigm the mission falls just below the Constitution. Accomplishing the mission would make the Skipper look good and in doing so make me, the Division Officer, look good. Great measures must be taken to accomplish the mission, but the mission is not worth compromising one’s personal honor and integrity. As an officer, it is my duty to take full responsibility for my division. Things will not always go perfectly, and it is important to accept the consequences of not completing tasks on time, even if it is a challenging decision. An officer’s honor lies in accepting the punishment with grace of his or her own actions. Also, the relationship an officer has with his enlisted is a delicate thing. More often than not, a Division Officer’s CPO will have more time in the service than his or her Division Officer. Even though the CPO has more experience, in many cases he or she serves as an advisory role to the officer. Therefore, it is the officer’s job to invite creative ideas and solutions while maintaining a professionally sound relationship with his division. It is the officer’s job to make his or her sailors buy into him or her as a person they can trust. Kant would argue that the intent by which we accomplish a task…

I was sitting in my bunk looking at my girlfriends Polaroid that she had sent me a few months ago. As I was looking Chuck asked me, “how is she doing?” Frankly I didn’t know I hadn’t talked to her in years this is something that she sent to my parents after she left me because she was getting lonely while I was away at war. “Yeah, she’s...good,” I replied uncertainly. “Well that is good,” he replied. While I was looking at her picture I hear gun fire. Then *BOOM* a torpedo hits the port side of…

The Royal Navy is the United Kingdom's principal naval warfare force. The modern Royal Navy traces its origins to the early 16th century, it is the oldest of the armed services and is known as the Senior Service.

In the Royal Navy served a mixture of different kinds of sailors. There were volunteers, impressed sailors and fishermen, prisoners, sometimes slaves and lascars (Asians). Mostly below their thirties, in the Myth of the Press Gang, using a statistical sample, reveals that almost eighty per cent were volunteers, coming half of them from England. This is explained due the possibility of bounties and price money, but also because of the possibility of a job from inland people and social ascends.…

In years leading up to the war French and Martinique privateers commandeered sloops from Bermudians and incorporated them into their fleets. So when the war began French privateers moved to Bermudian waters and for weeks they overtook British and Bermudian Ships alike. It wasn’t until the government sent out two heavily fortified vessels that the French broke rank and ran away. Towards the end of the war you start to see British privateering diminishing, probably due to the increasing power…

Woman’s group From 1960 to the early 1970s the influx of married women workers accounted for almost half of the increase in the total labor force, and working wives were staying on their jobs longer before starting families. The woman’s group is a group of women that work instead of men when men go to the war. Almost 400,000 women served the armed forces—a number that exceeded total male troop strength in 1939. During WWII, the role of women in the service and on the home front has expanded…
