| surface warfare officer career path: Navy Readiness United States. Government Accountability Office, Cary Russell, 2021 SWOs are U.S. Navy officers whose primary duties focus on the safe operation of surface ships at sea. In 2017, the Navy had two collisions at sea that resulted in the death of 17 sailors and hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to Navy ships. Following the collisions, the Navy identified deficiencies in the SWO career path and staffing policies, and took action to improve these areas. Among other things, this report (1) assesses trends in separation rates of SWOs with those of similar U.S. Navy officer communities, and trends in SWO separation rates by gender; (2) describes how the career path of U.S. Navy SWOs compares to those of selected foreign navies and other U.S. Navy and U.S. maritime communities; and (3) assesses the extent to which the U.S. Navy has used or evaluated alternative career paths. GAO is making 7 recommendations to the Navy, including developing a plan to improve SWO retention; regularly evaluating its current approaches, including alternative career paths; and using these to improve SWO career options and proficiency. |
| surface warfare officer career path: Survey and Analysis of Surface Warfare Officer Career Path Issues Gregory S. Gilbert, NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA., Nancy C. Roberts, 1989 Surface Warfare Officers (SWO) attending the Naval Postgraduate School were surveyed on career issues pertaining to career path specialization, warfare skills, SWO qualifications, and their impact on readiness. Survey results indicate that: (1) SWO technical competency does not mandate specialization as a means to enhance readiness, (2) assigning department heads to single 30+ month tours and/or rotating them to provide officer continuity through work-up and deployment may enhanced readiness, (3) implementation of SWO qualification policy may no be supporting adequate qualification policy may not be supporting adequate qualification standards. Keywords: Survey, Surface warfare officer, Career management, Specialization, Readiness. (EG). |
| surface warfare officer career path: Alternative Surface Warfare Officer Career Paths and Their Potential for Reducing Permanent Change of Station Costs Nicholas F. Mygas, NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA., 1985 This thesis presents and analyzes several alternative surface warfare officer (SWO) career paths. The paths are designed to reduce permanent change of station (PCS) costs by reducing the number of PCS moves in an officer's career while meeting sea billet requirements, minimizing turbulence within the SWO community and maintaining a viable career path for the officer. The reduction in the number of moves is primarily accomplished through the extension of tour lengths or greater use of homesteading. The analysis is accomplished on a personal computer with software constructed in an earlier Naval Postgraduate School thesis. The analysis is directed at determining feasibility of the career paths presented and where applicable identifies the number of PCS moves eliminated. |

| surface warfare officer career path: The Effect of PCS Policy on Surface Warfare Officer Career Development Robert H. Howe, 1984 This study conducted a critical review of professional development requirements in the Surface Warfare Community to maximize the use of increasingly scarce permanent change of station (PCS) funds. Seven network representations of career pathways were constructed to encapsulate the career paths Surface Warfare Officers (SWOs) actually pursue. Four focal points of professional development were determined to provide the basis for these pathways. These four are the major command tour, the commander comamnd tour, the executive officer tour and the department head tour. Naval Officer Billet File data and information from the Naval Military Personnel Command's Officer Manning Plan model were used to determine the geographic locations and respective numbers of SWO billets. Officer Longitudinal Master File data were used to determine historical tour lengths of Surface Warfare Officers. Analyses were conducted for key developmental tours and for the type of tour assignment (sea or shore, and geographic location). The interrelationships between tour length, billet opportunity and selectivity are discussed. The above considered, two additional career pathways were developed which improve the efficiency of the SWO career path and potentially save PCS funds. Keywords include: Career Planning, Career Development, Permanent Change of Station Costs, and Theses. |
| surface warfare officer career path: Officer Career Development John R Bruni (Jr), Gerry L. Wilcove, NAVY PERSONNEL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER SAN DIEGO CA., Navy Personnel Research and Development Center (U.S.), United States. Office of Naval Technology, 1988 This report is the ninth in a series of officer career development. In 1983, the Navy instituted a major career path change in the Surface Warfare Officer community. The purpose of this change was to increase the technical knowledge and skills of department heads, and thus, hopefully, operational readiness. The survey research was designed to assess the preliminary acceptance among officer of this career change. Questionnaires were completed by 2,583 surface officers as part of an ongoing research project studying the impact of career management policies on officer career decisions and actions. It was found that officers were generally favorably disposed toward the new policy. There was no preliminary indication that the adjustment in the career path would have any impact one way or the other on an individual's desire to make the Navy a career or to extend beyond 20 years. Recommendations were made for further research and for developing reliable, objective measures of departmental and fleet readiness. (SDW). |

| surface warfare officer career path: Living Legends and Full Agency G.L.A. Harris, 2014-10-15 This research and policy book examines the role of women in the military and the overwhelming evidence to date that warranted repealing the combat exclusion policy. It explores the following questions: How can the success of women in the military serve as justification for its repeal? What will be the potential impact of repealing the policy on the recruitment, promotion and retention of women in the military? How will repealing the combat exclusion policy change the ways in which military men relate to military women? How can repealing the policy set women on the course toward full agency and representation as full citizens in American society at large? Not only will this book help in filling the gaps of the existing literature of public administration and public policy about women in the military but it will provide the personal insights of women who have served under the combat exclusion policy. |
| surface warfare officer career path: Surface Warfare Officer Career Development; An Analysis of Historical Data William Harrison Campbell, NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA., 1980 Officer Master File data were used to reconstruct and analyze the career paths of a sample of 1,084 year group 1958-1963 Surface Warfare Officers. Of particular concern were the developmental characteristics, apart from performance, which distinguished the careers of commander-command selectees from those of nonselectees. A wide variety of career development opportunities were found to have been provided to Surface Warfare Officers to enable them to quality for command selection, and the absence of any absolute path to selection or nonselection was confirmed. There were, however, certain individual billet types, combinations of billets and commissioning sources which, if experienced by Surface Warfare Officers, tended to increase or decrease their probability of later command selection. In this regard, the singular importance of the lieutenant commander executive officer tour to command selection was documented. (Author). |

| surface warfare officer career path: From Yeomanettes to Fighter Jets Randy Carol Goguen, 2024-03-06 From Yeomanettes to Fighter Jets addresses a major element of twenty-first century sea power—the integration of women into all military units of the U.S. Navy. Randy Goguen delineates the cultural, economic, and political conditions as well as the technological changes that shaped this movement over the course of a century. Starting with the establishment of the Yeomen (F) in World War I and continuing through today to address the current arguments over the registration of women for Selective Service and the reform of the military justice system, Goguen describes how changes in civilian society affected the U. S. Navy and the role of Navy women. She highlights the contributions of key women and men in the military and civilian spheres who were willing to challenge convention and prejudice to advance the integration of women and make the U.S. Navy a stronger institution. Today women in the U.S. Navy have proven themselves essential to the mission success of the service. They are forward deployed around the world, sharing the same risks as their male counterparts. Some have commanded logistics and combatant ships, including aircraft carriers. They fly and maintain combat and patrol aircraft and serve as crew members on ships and submarines. Some hold major commands ashore and have risen to the highest echelons of navy leadership. Integrating women into the U.S. Navy has been a long and often contentious process, as women strived to overcome resistance imposed by prevailing cultural and institutional norms and patriarchal prejudices. Goguen, a retired naval reserve officer who holds a PhD in military history from Temple University, has written a comprehensive and up-to-date history of women’s integration into the Navy. She argues that throughout the process, the decisive force driving progress was exigency. That exigency took various forms: two world wars, communist expansionism in the Cold War, the ending of the draft and the establishment of the All-Volunteer Force, as well as the political pressures posed by social change, especially the mid twentieth-century feminist and contemporary “Me Too” movements. Despite a deeply ingrained institutional resistance cultivated within an insular, often misogynist, sea-going subculture, today’s U.S. Navy could not meet its mission requirements without women. Goguen asserts, “Exigency is the mother of integration.” |

| surface warfare officer career path: Military Families and War in the 21st Century Rene Moelker, Manon Andres, Gary Bowen, Philippe Manigart, 2015-05-14 This book focuses on the key issues that affect military families when soldiers are deployed overseas, focusing on the support given to military personnel and families before, during and after missions. Today’s postmodern armies are expected to provide social-psychological support both to their personnel in military operations abroad and to their families at home. Since the end of the Cold War and even more so after 9/11, separations between military personnel and their families have become more frequent as there has been a multitude of missions carried out by multinational task forces all over the world. The book focuses on three central questions affecting military families. First, how do changing missions and tasks of the military affect soldiers and families? Second, what is the effect of deployments on the ones left behind? Third, what is the national structure of family support systems and its evolution? The book employs a multidisciplinary approach, with contributions from psychology, sociology, history, anthropology and others. In addition, it covers all the services, Army, Navy/Marines, Air Force, spanning a wide range of countries, including UK, USA, Belgium, Turkey, Australia and Japan. At the same time it takes a multitude of perspectives such as the theoretical, empirical, reflective, life events (narrative) approach, national and the global, and uses approaches from different disciplines and perspectives, combining them to produce a volume that enhances our knowledge and understanding of military families. This book will be of much interest to students of military studies, sociology, war and conflict studies and IR/political science in general. |
