CAREER ROADMAP

Seaman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap

The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Sonar Technician - Surface community through the process of pursuing

professional development and advanced education using various military and civilian resources e.g. PQS program; JST Joint

Service Transcript; E-Learning; Navy College Network; etc. Successful leadership is the key to military readiness and will always

require a high degree of technical skill, professional knowledge, and intellectual development.

What is a Career Roadmap for Sonar Technician - Surface?

Sonar Technician - Surface roadmaps are just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning and

Development Continuum from Seaman Recruit through Master Chief. The principal focus is to standardize a program Navy wide

by featuring the existing skills necessary to be successful in the Navy. The ultimate goal of a roadmap is to produce a functional

and competent Sailor.

What is the Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum?

Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum is the formal title given to the curriculum and process building on the foundation

of Sailorization beginning in our Delayed Entry Program through Recruit Training Command and throughout your entire career.

The continuum combines skill training, professional education, well-rounded assignments, and voluntary education. As you

progress through your career, early-on skill training diminishes while professional military education gradually increases.

Experience is the ever-present constant determining the rate at which a Sailor trades skill training for professional development.

Do Sailors have to follow the Roadmap?

Yes. The Sonar Technician - Surface roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum in Professional Military

Education to include; Navy Professional Military Education (NPME), Joint Professional Military Education (JPME), Leadership

and Advanced Education.

Some training and education is mandatory (Recruit Training, Surface Combat Systems Training Command (SCSTC) at San

Diego, CA, E-Learning, etc.). Some may be directed by your chain of command (Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint courses), and

the remainder is voluntary (MNP, E-Learning, college courses, etc.). Sailors are advised to seek out mentors, including your

Command Master Chief, Senior Enlisted Advisor, Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer and Command Career

Counselor, and to make use of your Navy College Virtual Education Center (VEC) or OCONUS Education Office's vast

resources. All are uniquely qualified to help you along the way.

Recruit “A” and “C” School

Notes:

1. “A” School is required to be a STG.

2. A SECRET security clearance is required to be maintained due to the nature and scope of STG assigned duties.

3. Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF) Sea billets are extremely arduous in nature, have a higher operational

commitment, and deploy at a much higher rate than CONUS Sea billets. STGs assigned to these hard to fill billets

should be given special consideration by the selection board.

4. STGs assigned to billets that offer an Enlisted Warfare designations (SW/AW) must attain the respective

qualification and be qualified to their appropriate paygrade to be considered “FULLY QUALIFIED” at their

current command.

5. STGs assigned to NPC, BUPERS, OTC, USNA, PRECOM, RTC, Recruiting and RDC require special shore

screenings, these are CNO Priority Billets, and should be viewed by the selection board as competitive in nature.

6. STGs assigned to Instructor Duty billets (Surface Combat Systems Training Command (SCSTC), ATG, etc.)

where ATS and/or MTS are offered must attain the respective qualification within 12 months of their PRD, and be

qualified to their appropriate paygrade to be considered “FULLY QUALIFIED” at their current command.

STG CAREER PATH

(SW)

Revised: September 2023

a. For commands that offer both ATS and MTS (ATG), “FULLY QUALIFIED” is attaining ATS within 12

months of their PRD and “BEST QUALIFIED” is attaining both ATS and MTS within 12 months of

their PRD.

7. STGs selected for the selection board, selection board recorder, Advancement Exam Readiness Review (AERR),

and lead the rating readiness review should be given special consideration by the selection board. This shows a

level of ownership and devotion to the STG rating.

8. Sailors must qualify at the level of their respective paygrade. It is highly recommended that STGs qualify at a

higher paygrade, attain higher level of qualifications, and seek greater responsibilities at their command.

Commands are different in nature; mission, operational tasking, qualifications, equipment, etc. you should review

the considerations for advancement notes for each paygrade below.

9. The considerations for advancements listed below for Chief, Senior Chief, and Master Chief Sonar Technician

are not all inclusive. There are several important factors that MUST be considered, applied, and executed if you

want to navigate through the paygrades to become a STGCM.

a. Performance and rating knowledge are the foundation on which we advance. Whatever platform/command

you are assigned, YOU will need to ensure you are FULLY QUALIFIED, influencing others to be

successful, positively impacting the command, and above all showing SUSTAINED SUPERIOR

PERFORMANCE.

b. Along with your personal sustained superior performance, the demonstration and documentation of the

sailors you lead should show SUSTAINED SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE with regard to in rate

knowledge and qualifications, REAL WORLD SONAR PERFORMANCE, Certification Scores,

Retention, etc.

c. In addition to your performance, you must be able to transcribe your accomplishments on your evaluation

so members of the Selection Boards (different ratings) can understand clearly what it is that you and your

Sailors have done. It is crucial that you clearly explain how you meet/exceed the Selection Board Precepts

and Convening Order.

d. Attaining a qualification at the end of a tour and doing nothing with the qualification can be seen as a

negative. Example: If you qualify as ASW Coordinator (ASWC) three months prior to your transfer.

What was done with the qualification? What impact did you have? Become FULLY/BEST QUALIFIED

at the beginning of your tour and lead by example. Command impact is a key element when attaining

qualifications.

e. The BEST QUALIFIED candidates will have documented AT SEA real world SONAR operational

experience along with sustained superior performance AT SEA.

f. Collateral Duties. The right collateral duty will keep you competitive at your command with regards to

ranking, however your evaluation needs to reflect more of your primary duty accomplishments. Your

evaluation needs to reflect roughly 90% of your primary duty (STG) and 10% of collateral duties. Real

world operational experience, inspection scores, warfare exercise performance, in-rate advancements,

operational readiness of your systems, etc. should be the driving narrative of your evaluation.

g. Education and Professional Development. Completion of professional military entails Primary

Professional Military Education (PPME), Senior Enlisted Joint Professional Military Education (SEJPME)

and Leadership Development (SEA) are considered cornerstones of advancement.

STG CAREER PATH

Revised: September 2023

Assignable Communities:

1. Surface Ship ASW Specialist (SSAS) (V44B) E7-E9. SSAS serve as the lead ASW SME onboard ASW Capable

Combatants (CG/DDG aka CRUDES), CVN and DESRON. Post sea duty assignments SSAS train and certify the

sea component commands while assigned to SCSTC, ATG, and UWDC.

1) Sea Duty: (CRUDES). The SSAS, usually the senior STG, serves as the principal advisor to the

Commanding Officer and TAOs for the ASW division and warfare area. They are responsible for

preparation of ASW operations, direction on threat interpretation, proper SONAR sensor use and

employment, analysis, and classification of received acoustic signals. The SSAS is critical to the

evaluation of Target Motion Analysis (TMA), contact management and SONOBUOY localization, post-

mission analysis, data collection, initial reconstruction, and management and completion of ASW Afloat

Self-Assessment check sheets. In addition to ASW warfare area responsibilities, the SSAS is responsible

for material condition of the SQQ-89 suite and the personal and professional development of their

divisional Sailors; documented with advancement, retention, MAP, CDBs, and other divisional

achievements. As Departmental LCPO, they will be responsible for multiple warfare areas (STK, SUW,

EXSAF, etc.), the material condition of all spaces and systems under their cognizance, and the

personal/professional development of all Sailors within their department.

a. CRUISER / DESTROYER / CVN.

• Leadership; DLCPO, LCPO, LPO, WCS, and Training Team Leader/Member.

• Qualifications; Sonar Supervisor, Enlisted Warfare Specialist (offered at command).

• Advanced Qualifications; (U/W) ASWC, ASWE

b. DESRON. As the DESRON SSAS, they ensure all CRUDES platforms within the DESRON are fully

trained and operational. Critical in the mission planning and execution of all ASW operations within

the DESRON and Strike Group; while assigned as the Sea Combat Commander (SCC).

2) Shore Duty: After a successful tour as an afloat SSAS, their skillset as a SSAS are utilized in the fleet at

various training commands as instructors, assessors, and course managers. Training commands include

SCSTC (“A” and “C” schools, system operator and maintenance courses, Journeyman, Team Trainers,

SSAS course), ATG (basic unit level training and USW Certification) and UWDC (integrated training and

final DESRON/Strike Group USW certification). Though ATG and UWDC are both shore duty

commands, the STG/SSAS stationed there have an extensive underway and travel schedule.

a. SHORE DUTY Type I/III

• Afloat Training Groups; ATS and MTS (qualified no later than 12 months to PRD)

• UWDC

• Instructor Duty, SCSTC, RTC, RDC, OTC, USNA; MTS (qualified no later than 12 months to PRD)

• Recruiting

• Regional Maintenance Centers

2. Acoustic Intelligence (ACINT) Specialist (708B) E6-E9. The ACINT Specialist program is a CNO priority

program which is closed loop and voluntary, members are highly screened and hand-selected undergo a rigorous 18-

32 month qualification process that has a historic attrition rate of over 50%. Upon successful completion of

qualification, members are designated qualified for independent duty as an ACINT Specialist and awarded NEC

708B.

a. ACINT Specialists serve as the primary ASW advisor to Commanding Officers of Surface Ships,

Submarines, Strike Group ASW Commanders and CTF Flag staff and are responsible for providing

operational tactical ACINT support. Through extensive training, experience, and knowledge of worldwide

naval platform acoustics, tactics, and operational capabilities; ACINT Specialists are required to make

sound tactical recommendations to Commanding Officers and supported Commanders during operations

vital to National Security throughout every AOR the Navy operates.

STG CAREER PATH

(SW)

Revised: September 2023

b. The nature by which the ACINT Specialist Program recruits candidates at the E-6 or junior E-7 level often

precludes them from serving as a LPO/LCPO at sea.

c. Evaluations for ACINT Specialists will likely focus on tactical leadership and mentorship from real-world

operations. Due to the unique nature of this closed loop program, an ACINT Specialist may not be afforded

the opportunity to follow a traditional Sailorization model expected of a CPO/SCPO/MCPO.

d. ACINT Specialists comprise a very small specialized community (less than 1% of the rating).

Consequently, members may be detailed involuntarily because of the needs of the ACINT Specialist

program. The result: Career paths may not fit standard Sea/Shore rotations.

e. The ACINT Specialist Community delineates top performing candidates by assigning worldwide rankings

to the top two to three qualified ACINT Specialists in the STG1, STGC, and STGCS paygrades. These

rankings will be communicated in a designation letter signed by the Commanding Officer of Farragut

Technical Analysis Center (FTAC) and can also be noted in periodic evaluations. This designation letter

SHALL be included in a Letter to the Board.

In addition to the worldwide ranking; the best ACINT Specialist candidates for promotion to STGCS should

have documented tactical/operational performance in both periodic and concurrent evaluations.

g. In addition to the worldwide ranking; the best ACINT Specialist candidates for promotion to STGCM

should have served as a qualified ACINT Specialist NEC 708B at one of the following UICs : 53273

FARRAGUT TAC DET JAPAN (COMDESRON 15/CTF71), 3479B COMMANDER TASK FORCE 65

(COMDESRON 60/CTF65), or 53221 UNSEAWARDEVCEN DET SAN DIEGO (UWDC SAN DIEGO).

Completed the Senior Enlisted Academy and have documented sustained superior performance as an

Acoustic Intelligence Specialist.

3. Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS). IUSS is a community that comprises both a shore and a sea

component. IUSS mission is to support antisubmarine warfare commands and tactical forces by detecting,

classifying, and providing timely reporting of information on submarines and contacts of interest.

a. Shore duty. Sites consist of Commander Undersea Surveillance (CUS), which is the ISIC for all of IUSS.

They are responsible for the development of training, doctrine and certification of both the shore and sea

components. The subordinate sites are CUS Operational Center (CUS OPCONCEN), Theater Undersea

Surveillance Center Atlantic/Pacific (TUSC LANT/TUSC PAC), and IUSS Shore Special Programs. IUSS

Shore Special Programs are a highly desired and favorable shore tour. All These sites are manned 24/7,

providing acoustic cueing to operating and supporting forces and continuous maritime surveillance for

homeland security.

1. TUSWC LANT/ TUSWC PAC/ CUS OPCONCEN

• Tactical Watch Officer (TACWO) – Required for all STGCS. Equivalent to a Warfare

Coordinator or CICWO for watch team management.

• Tactical Coordinator (TC) – Required for all STGC. Equivalent to ASWC.

• Watch Supervisor (WS) – Required for all STG1. Equivalent to SONAR SUP.

b. Sea duty. The sea component is located at TUSC PAC and is made up of several detachments that deploy

on SURTASS vessels throughout the world. Provides acoustic cueing to theater ASW Commanders. The

qualifications that are required on CRUDES ships are not available on SURTASS.

1. SURTASS

• Assistant Mission Commander (ASMC) - Required for all STGC and STGCS.

• Tactical Coordinator (TC) – Required for all STG1. Equivalent to a SONAR SUP.

STG CAREER PATH

(SW)

Revised: September 2023

Key point:

Due to the mission of IUSS and based on NEC requirements, Sailors are required to re-tour in the IUSS

community in order to obtain NEC 715B. Due to these factors, staying in the IUSS community for THREE or

more consecutive tours WITHOUT the NEC 712B should be considered negative and does not contribute nor

enhance STG knowledge and rating health across the fleet.

In addition to the above career path, an STG is advanced due to their proven leadership, qualifications and

performance against competition, regardless of billet assigned.

United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP): USMAP is available to most active duty occupations and is

certified by the U.S. Department of Labor. This is the largest apprenticeship program operating in the U.S. and is recognized by

all 50 states. Completion of one of these programs would qualify you as a journeyman, which could mean a significantly higher

starting salary in the civilian work force. Most programs require 5-8 years to complete but are transferable if you decide to leave

the service prior to completion. USMAP opportunities also exist for SELRES with orders over 12 months.

The following USMAP apprenticeships are applicable to the STG-Sonar Technician Surface rating.

For more information about these apprenticeships, visit USMAP at https://usmap.osd.mil/index.htm.

MilGears: MilGears leverages the COOL platform to provide Service members with a personalized, self-assessment of the

individual’smilitarytraining&experienceandoff-dutyeducation&credentialing,forthepurposesofproviding

recommendations and next steps to pursue and achieve industry credentialing, in-service advancement, and ultimately post-

service employment. Use MilGears to build a comprehensive record that captures all the learning, experience, and related skills

you’vegainedtosupportpreparationforcareeradvancement.MilGearswillprovidesmultiplesearchmethodstofind

credentials that can help build your subject matter expertise related to your military career, as well as prepare you for a career

after transition. Use your time in service to pursue certifications, education, and experience that can help you achieve your goals.

Of the several tools found on MilGears, the two most common that Sailors would use are the Engage My Career Tool and the

Quick Explorer Tool.

ENGAGE MY CAREER TOOL

The Engage My Career (EMC) Tool, available from the MilGears home page, analyzes your unique history to provide

customized results. The EMC Tool looks at what you've done in the military to date by guiding you through a series of questions

that collect information such as: your rating, pay grade, duty station history, training, NECs, qualifications (applicable to Mariner

careers), and civilian education or credentials. The EMC Tool then takes this information and helps you determine your best path

forward by showing you the possible occupation options you may be eligible for based on your current experience.

Customized output includes:

Civilian occupations that may be attainable or nearly attainable.

Apprenticeships, certifications, and education that can help you fill training gaps or that could make you more competitive

in the job market.

How You Stack Up - a detailed view of how you compare to the typical requirements for civilian occupations and

credentials.

Next Steps - recommendations to fill gaps to enter an occupational field.

QUICK EXPLORER TOOL

The Quick Explorer Tool, available from the MilGears home page, allows Service members to explore occupations without

uploading personal information.

The following areas are available for exploration:

Credentials - explore pathways related to a specific credential such as a degree, a certification, a USMAP apprenticeship

or a federal license.

Career Goals - explore pathways based on career goals through job family, industry and more.

MilitaryOccupation-explorepathwaysbyMOCtoview‘best-fit’pathwaysbasedyourmilitaryoccupation.Pathways

include academic, industry, apprenticeship, cross-rate opportunities, and post-service employment opportunities.

Interests - answer a series of questions designed to discover your personal interests and connect them to career

pathways.

community health, but also provides qualified Sailors with an opportunity to resume or begin a career in the AC/TAR. This

component change refers to a permanent transfer from RC2AC/TAR. This voluntary program enables qualified, eligible enlisted

RC Sailors to submit applications in Career Waypoints (C-WAY) based on available quotas published on the Bureau of Naval

Personnel (BUPERS), Enlisted Community Manager (BUPERS-32) webpage at: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-

Selected Reserve (SELRES), Individual Ready Reserve (IRR-ASP), and Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) personnel.

For additional information, go to:

https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Reserve-Personnel-Mgmt/.

Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:

The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.

E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistment

intentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for

reenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.

The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be

submitted no later than 16 months prior to expiration of active/reserve obligated service (EAOS/EOS) or as extended

(SEAOS/SEOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) will

submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate

STG-SonarTechnician-Surface-E4

Page31of49

applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gates

can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for

special duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.

The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service

(SEAOS/SEOS)/End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service (EAOS/EOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 month

from S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides

time for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-

Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of in-rate, conversion, and

Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of

conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose Selected

Reserve affiliation.

Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.

Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:

Reenlist-in-Rate,

Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert

Convert only

AC to AC or TAR to TAR

RC to AC/TAR

RC to RC

AC/TAR to CIP (Intermission)

AC/TAR to Tour w/ Industry

SELRES option

Canvasser Recruiter

Intend to separate

Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on S/EAOS/EOS applications

more quickly for eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.

If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E6, you are eligible for

reenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you

can reenlist.

If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be

processed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and

Stack the following month.

For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the

processing month.

If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application

will be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career

Counselor reviews these notes to ensure Sailors are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.

Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly

report section of the Career Waypoint system.

VOLUNTARY EDUCATION

Note: Prior to considering any pursuit of off duty education or program enrollment contact the Navy College Virtual

Education Center (NCVEC) or visit your Overseas Navy College Office.

You must complete the Tuition Assistance Training before your first course will be approved.

Complete the online courses at the Navy College Website: http://www.navycollege.navy.mil/

How do I get started?

You already have. All your training up to this point is part of your Sonar Technician - Surface Roadmap. Now that you have

made the first steps you will need to sit down and formulate a plan. This plan will work best if you start out discussing your

options with your Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer, Mentor, or Career Counselor. They will help you understand

all of the basics. Then your next step is to contact the Navy College Virtual Education Center or visit your Overseas Navy College

Office. Then your counselors will be able to help you formalize your plan and make sure that it makes sense for both you and the

Navy. To aid you in your conversation with these professionals, here are a few questions that you may want to ask.

What credits do you have? What non-college courses have you taken? Where do you want to go? What field of study, or what

kind of degree? What program will help me get there: Traditional or Online? What are my next steps: Transfer credits, take

exams, have experience evaluated, or sign up for new courses?

GENERAL INFORMATION ON VOLUNTARY EDUCATION

The Navy College Program & Web Page:

The Navy College Program (NCP) provides opportunities to Sailors to earn college degrees by providing

academic credit for Navy training, work experience, and off-duty education. The NCP mission is to enable

Sailors to obtain a college degree while on active duty. In support of the four R's - Recruiting, Readiness,

Retention, and Respect - the NCP signifies Navy's commitment to education by improving enlistment

appeal; demonstrating Navy service and achieving a college degree are compatible; helping Sailors apply

themselves to new situations and challenges and better preparing them for advancement; building up

Sailors' self-image; and producing higher quality Sailors.

More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil

Tuition Assistance (TA):

OPNAVINST 1560.9B provides updated TA policy as of 28 December 2023: TA provides funds for eligible

active-duty personnel to attend approved educational institutions on an off-duty basis to earn a high school

diploma, vocational/technical certificate, or college degree. TA pays for tuition. TA will pay for the following

amount per career: 120 semester hours, or 180-quarter hours or 1800 clock hours or a combination of

semester, quarter and clock hours. TA will pay the following amounts per fiscal year: 18 semester hours, not

to exceed $250/credit for semester hours or 27-quarter hours not-to-exceed $166.67/credit for quarter

hours or, 1800 clock hours not-to-exceed $16.67/clock hours or a combination of semester, quarter and

clock hours.

More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil

Joint Service Transcripts (JST)

JSTs are official military transcripts which are used by colleges to validate your actual credited training.

Every Sailor has a transcript already and access to it is free.

More information is available online at: https://jst.doded.mil/

The American Council on Education (ACE)

ACE has reviewed every course listed in the OCCUPATIONAL Roadmap and determined what type of

collegiate level credit is recommended. The ACE identifier, listed with each course, is a source to validate

the information and to check for changes as they occur.

Updates can be found at https://www.acenet.edu/Programs-Services/Pages/Credit-

Transcripts/Military-Guide-Online.aspx.

Vocational Certificates

Vocational Certificates are available from most community colleges. Most of your military training can be

counted toward their degree programs, but they will still require residency credits and approximately 40-75

credit hours. These certificates can be as valuable as the apprenticeship program in the civilian work

force.

College credits by Testing CLEP, DSST

Testing can replace the requirement to attend most of the college courses listed in the Occupational

Roadmap. Base Education Centers offer CLEP and DSST exams for active duty military at no cost. They

also offer a comprehensive list of "credit-by-exam" tests. Additionally, many of the tests have study guides

available. These tests are available at the base education center or through the base library system. For

specific testing locations visit the DANTES website.

Navy College Program: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil/sailors/resouces

DANTES: https://www.dantes.mil/clep/ and https://www.dantes.mil/dsst/

College Entrance Exams Testing ACT, SAT

The ACT and SAT are both standardized tests that help colleges evaluate candidates. Many colleges

require that students submit test results as part of the admission application process. Since Sailors are

considered transfer students, these tests are not generally required for admission. However, some Sailors

must take the tests to enter specific military programs.

NAVY ENLISTED LEADER DEVELOPMENT (ELD) PROGRAM

ELD describes all aspects of enlisted leadership skills training, character development, decision

making, self-awareness and ethics. It occurs when a member participates in leader development

activities, formal education, reading or viewing leadership-related material, discussing leadership

issues, observing leaders in action, and performing as a leader. Effective leader development

includes both formal training and self-directed study and reflection. Navy leaders progress along the

general paths shown in the graphic below. Our Navy will produce leaders and teams who learn

rapidly, make high-quality decisions, and control the high end of maritime conflict.
