The Navy’s Fraternization Policy

I work for the US Navy. The Navy has many policies rules regulations concerning the proper governance of its most important asset it’s employees; the men and women of the US Navy. The Navy employs over 340,000 sailors in addition to more than 200,000 civilian employees.

The Navy is a worldwide organization. It …show more content…
The Navy falls under the Uniform Code Of Military Justice. The Navy’s fraternization policy is a large multifaceted program. It’s important to start by defining how the rules are defined in reguards to fraternization . Personal relationships between Chief petty officers in pay grade E-7 to E-9 and junior personnel in pay grade E-l to E-6, who are assigned to the same command, that are unduly familiar and that do not respect differences in grade or rank are prohibited. Likewise, personal relationships that are unduly familiar between staff/instructor and student personnel within Navy training commands, and between recruiters and recruits/applicants that do not respect differences in grade, rank, or the staff/student relationship are prohibited. Such relationships are prejudicial to good order and discipline, and violate long-standing traditions of the Navy

    Captain Honors Behavior

    Commander of the USS Enterprise, Captain Honors was videoed using anti-gay slurs, mimicking masturbation, and other sexual innuendos. These videos were aired on the air carrier’s closed-circuit television system in 2006 and 2007. The videos show Captain Honors acting immature and undisciplined rather than an experienced navy captain. Although officers who were on the USS Enterprise at the time the videos were aired and did not take offence to them, the way Captain Honors conducted himself in the videos does not fit the schema for an effective leader.…

    Summary Of Washington's 'Newburgh Address'

    Before this course, my conception of the roles military officers in society and government had was that they were distinct individuals of a higher moral and ethical caliber. With these values came a voluntary but clear support of their chain of command and mission to defend the citizens of the United States of America. Prior to attending West Point, I observed an awkward separation between members of the armed forced and civilians due to lack of knowledge and familiarity of both worlds. Therefore, while I was aware that…

    Navy Paralegal Essay

    The law and its ever-changing characteristics intrigued me at a very early age. Growing up, I wanted to be a lawyer. My goal of becoming a lawyer was a bit impractical due to my procrastination after high school graduation and because of my past financial situation. Not knowing what to do then, led me to join the Navy. The Navy afforded me the opportunity to go to school while working and it also allowed me to change jobs so that I can choose something closely related to my goal of becoming an attorney. That’s when I became a Paralegal, or “Legalman” as the Navy calls it.…

    M1D1

    In the Navy we have an "Ethos" and part of it states, "integrity is the foundation of our conduct, respect for others is fundamental to our character, decisive leadership is crucial to our success". This mirrors in part with what Neher and Sandin (2007) state, "the person who has integrity or good character relies on his or her good judgment to act ethically in each given situation", (p. 17). I don't believe one is born with the traits of a virtuous person, these are learned through the actions of others particularly the parent. “Set the example and do the right thing even when you think no one is looking”, I can’t tell you how many times I have uttered these words to my Sailors and my boys. But I know it is my actions that both are scrutinizing. For example, I was once offered to have a course marked as complete by a First Class Petty Officer because he commented on how busy he knew I was and was sure I had completed the course several times during my time in the service. I quickly responded with, “that it wasn’t necessary for him to that and I would complete the course like he and the others in my department had done”. Later he told me he was testing me because he was looking for a mentor. Actions speak volumes for your character. As for the second part of the question, I believe character and practical wisdom are developed through those we interact with and experiences we have in life. We gain practical wisdom from every situation we are involved in and how we handle the situation develops our character in the eyes of those who observe our actions. As Aristotle stated, “sound, practical wisdom and sound character must always be the guide in these situations”, (Neher & Sandin, 2007, p. 30). If the speaker or communicator in any circumstance loses his or her credibility as a person of good…

    Eth/316 Ethics Research Paper

    The underlying principle of the military is a classic representation of utilitarianism. From the start and throughout an enlistment the Navy instills the importance of virtues, values, and the correct moral actions. The value is shown in the Navy’s core values document of honor by integrity first, courage with service before self, and commitment and excellence in all we do. These simple principles give Sailors a focus and demonstrate their worth to the organization. The moral concept of protecting the country’s national interests through the application of and entrance into a military organization is yet another inherent part of the United States Navy. As a military organization the Navy falls in line with the utilitarianism theory because, daily the mission calls for accomplishing what is right for the entire…

    Civil Military Profession Report

    The relationship between the civilian authorities of the United States of America and her Armed Forces is a complex subject that has seen a prodigious deal of refinement over the past thousand years. Many individuals find fault with the current state of this relationship. To best argue the ideal purpose of Army Captains in this relationship, we will first establish what civil-military relations should be and then identify where in these relations either the civilian populace or our military members fall short, and finally, we will assert the aspects of this relationship that can and should be impacted by Army members in the rank of CPT.…

    Disrespect: Non-commissioned Officer and Marine Corps

    Disrespect of a Non-commissioned Officer is a punishable offense in the United States military, and falls under Article 91. The punishment for the offense varies depending on the severity of the disrespect shown and the history of service for the perpetrator. Disrespect of a Non-commissioned officer includes striking, acting in an insubordinate manner, disregard for a lawful order, use of disrespectful language or general deportment. For disrespecting an NCO you will be held accountable.I have shown disobedience and a lack of respect, damaging not only my own growth as a Marine but acted selfishly to everyone around me. Junior marines and my fellow peers seeing my actions could give the wrong impression and the incorrect example of how a Marine is supposed to act. This can cause a chain of reaction of future disrespectful acts and issues amongst the ranks.…

    Military Career

    Entering any of the United States Armed Forces as a commissioned officer, like many other professions everywhere, requires at least a baccalaureate education. Generally speaking, especially near the beginning of a military career, accelerating career trajectory might best accrue as the result of an institution’s reputation. Under those circumstances, graduates from any of the Military Service Academies regularly garner assignment preferences to say nothing of clear-cut networking advantages over the course of their careers. After the Service Academies, the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs utilized at select colleges and universities across the United States round out an ever-larger mosaic. And not unlike the larger picture,…
