82 years ago, the country’s first African-American Marines were recruited at Camp Montford Point in Jacksonville, NC. The City of Jacksonville celebrated their bravery at en event honoring the legacy of the Marines as well as nine of the original Montford Point United States Marine Corps. Why is this important? Every day, we enjoy freedoms that were hard-won by brave men and women. Outside of Veterans Day and Memorial Day, how often do we take a moment to honor their service and recognize the milestones that shaped our history? How often do brands speak to the military community to form deeper relationships? When brands take the time to acknowledge military service or milestones, they not only show respect but also build trust and loyalty within this unique consumer segment. Whether it’s a simple social media effort or a dedicated campaign, brands have an opportunity to connect with the military in a meaningful way. #MilitaryMarketing #Military #MarketingStrategy #MilitaryAppreciation

I attended this amazing session that provided some valuable (and actionable) insights. It's always good to expand knowledge and pick up new skills. Thanks to Maria Louise and Lauren Dodd for organizing! Appreciate the effort that goes into these learning opportunities. #ProfessionalDevelopment #ContinuousLearning?#goarmybeatnavy

Today’s chaplains are military professionals specially trained to serve any spiritual need, for military personnel and their families, regardless of religious affiliation, ethnicity, or gender. Nearly 3,000 chaplains from the Army, Navy, and Air Force served in Vietnam, each chaplain with a vastly different experience of the war.

A really good long form article (with data) illustrating the tension at Service academies between the need for diverse perspectives in their officer corps and systems that often disadvantage the diverse individuals. While this tension is seen in the experiences of the socio-economically diverse and prior enlisted (both apply to me), it is most acute for racial diversity because it is an ever-visible part of a students identity. The academy prep schools like the United States Military Academy Preparatory School provide immense value by improving the access to and success of these more of these diverse populations. However, the core quantitative “meritocracy” of the academies present inherent challenges evidenced by the data in this article. The article sums up the challenges of quantifying every aspect of “merit” for officer candidates: “Owens has expressed concern that cadets are too often treated as numbers: their GPA or class rankings that determine who gets coveted assignments such as a place in flight school…But I've been talked down to more because of my class rank than because I'm a Black man."

On behalf of the US Navy, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Royal Australian Navy for locating the final resting place of the destroyer USS Edsall (DD 219), lost in a valiant battle against the Imperial Japanese Navy in the early days of World War II. The commanding officer of Edsall lived up to the U.S. Navy tenet, “Don’t give up the ship,” even when faced with overwhelming odds. The wreck of this ship is a hallowed site, serving as a marker for the 185 U.S. Navy personnel and 31 U.S. Army Air Force pilots aboard at the time, almost all of whom were lost when Edsall succumbed to her battle damage. This find gives us the opportunity for today’s generation of Sailors and Navy civilians to be inspired by their valor and sacrifice. The U.S. Navy would also like to take this opportunity to salute the valor of the crew of the Australian sloop HMAS Yarra, lost two days after the Edsall, under similar circumstances in a heroic battle against overwhelming odds. Finding the Edsall further cements the strong alliance that has existed between the United States and Australia since World War II, the relationship between the Royal Australian Navy and the U.S. Navy, further reinforced by the current Australia, United Kingdom, United States (AUKUS) trilateral security partnership. A key component of AUKUS is the development of the most cutting-edge underwater technologies of the type that enabled the discovery of Edsall in the vastness of the Indian Ocean, something not possible just a few years ago. These advanced technologies, enabled by interoperability between long-standing Indo-Pacific Allies and partners, ensure our collective capability to preserve the peace, respond in crisis, and win decisively in war, if called.

The Calvert Task Group’s mission is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, the Navy and Marine Corps and the United States Naval Academy. We affirm the Navy’s traditional values of honor, courage and commitment and that are now under threat. We represent mostly Annapolis graduates, almost all of whom are current, former, or retired naval officers representing countless of years of Naval service. We reject the dangerous politicization of our armed forces. We believe our military must be a meritocracy and eliminate the influence of divisive ideologies and identity politics. We are current, former, or retired naval officers representing thousands of years of Naval service. We affirm the Navy’s traditional values of honor, courage and commitment and we believe those are under threat. We have observed with increasing alarm the dangerous politicization of our armed forces through the promotion of the divisive ideology of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. While sounding good, right, and politically correct, these carefully selected words are deceptive and destructive in nature when applied to social constructs that demand merit-based selection and exceptional leadership in potential life and death situations. We believe in equal opportunity and in merit advancement. These two factors are critical to unit cohesion, morale, and effectiveness. We believe the military, above all other walks of life, must operate under those principles. The Calvert Task Group was formed in 2021 as an association of U.S. Naval Academy alumni, led by members of the class of 1969. Our members believe that American Service Academies are exceptional institutions for developing future leaders prepared to assume the highest responsibilities of command citizenship and government. Our class motto – “Non Sibi” or “Not Self” – appears in the crest inscribed on our class rings and is a common bond that has molded our lives for more than half a century. We understand that if we are not part of the solution, we are part of the problem. We are committed. We are open to all Naval Academy graduates and also welcome others who agree with and are willing to support our cause. The Calvert Task Group (CTG) represents veterans and service academy alumni, most of whom are combat experienced. We have personally witnessed the unique, “color and gender blind” culture of our fellow warriors, necessary to prevail on the battlefield.
