Congratulations Skipper, Fair winds and following seas. Welcome aboard Skipper! Bob F, RRL Program Manager (left) and Rei, COO of Rigid Tactical (right) Bob and Rei attended the Change of Command at Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center in Panama City Beach, Florida. This place forges Divers from the raw material of Navy sailors and other service branch members. Divers conduct their difficult tasks in one of mother nature’s most dangerous and unforgiving environments. Rei: I get asked what makes Divers different? A: Suppress the natural will to live to accomplish a task to save your life. NDSTC is the first time I was asked to suppress the natural will to live to accomplish a task. Other examples include parachuting and, of course, combat. During pool week, the surface, visible from the bottom of the pool, promises the ultimate safety (air). Instructors impose a series of increasingly complex problems on the students, who are asked to perform a series of tasks under imposed stress. It would be easy to just go to the surface and save your own life. Make it all go away. But you don’t. You acknowledge and clear the fear, assess the problem, fix the problem, and carry on. “The change of command ceremony is not prescribed specifically by U.S. Navy regulations, but rather is a long-standing Naval tradition.” #rigidtacitcal #diving #navy

On this September 4th, comes to my mind the well-known story published in the U.S. Naval Institute Magazine (also mentioned by Stephen Covey in his Seven Habits book), in which a navy officer tells what happened while he was on the bridge of the largest battleship of the fleet with its captain, one dark and stormy night... ///…Two battleships assigned to the training squadron had been at sea on maneuvers in heavy weather for several days. I was serving on the lead battleship and was on watch on the bridge as night fell. The visibility was poor with patchy fog, so the captain remained on the bridge keeping an eye on all activities. Shortly after dark, the lookout on the wing of the bridge reported _"Light, bearing on the starboard bow"_ _"Is it steady or moving astern?"_ the captain called out. Lookout replied _"Steady, captain"_ which meant we were on a dangerous collision course with that ship. The captain then called to the signal man _"Signal that ship: We are on a collision course, advise you change course 20 degrees"_ Back came a signal _"Advisable for you to change course 20 degrees"_ The captain said _"Send: I'm a captain, change course 20 degrees"_ _"I'm a seaman second class"_ came the reply _"You had better change course 20 degrees"_ By that time, the captain was furious. He spat out _"Send: I'm a battleship. Change course 20 degrees"_ Back came the flashing light _"I'm a lighthouse"_ We changed course.../// Just like in the story of the lighthouse, there are fundamental principles that should never be ignored: trust, commitment, and dedication. These values are the lighthouse that guides each of our daily decisions and actions. No matter how turbulent the waters, we must always honor these principles so that our work contributes to the success and harmony of the team. Being a secretary is much more than coordinating a meeting or managing an agenda, it is being the support point that everyone trusts, it is having the humility to change course when necessary and to stay firmly towards our goals. On Secretary's Day, I celebrate the importance of these unbreakable values and the positive impact they have on our organization and on the lives of people we work with every day.

Defence iQ is delighted to release our latest 'Ship's Company; Preparing the First Type 31 Frigate Ship Company', an exclusive interview with Commander Chris Cozens MEng MA CEng FIMechE, Senior Naval Officer to HMS Venturer First of Class T31 Frigate, at the Royal Navy. Download the Interview Here: https://bit.ly/3CV1CaF Due to the nature of Warship construction, the difference between two ships of different generations can be felt more vividly than on other platforms, and so its crewing needs to adapt. The new Type 31 frigates are the next generation of warships intended to replace the Type 21s with improved and new capabilities delivered by the latest technologies. While larger, the increases in automation mean that the crew can be smaller and more efficient, so the ship company formation needs to reflect this. In this interview, Commander Cozens shares his experience as a Senior Naval officer of the first Type 31 to enter service, the HMS Venturer. #HMSVenturer #Type31 #Frigates #SurfaceWarships #SW2025

The recent video of the Naval band has left me awestruck—not just for their musical brilliance but for what it represents: discipline, passion, and an unshakeable sense of duty. Watching them perform reminded me of a core life lesson—Work Hard, Party Hard. When they’re on duty, they give it their all, guarding the seas with unmatched grit and determination. But when it’s time to celebrate, they know how to uplift spirits, not just theirs but of everyone around them. Isn’t that something we can all learn from? As professionals, we often find ourselves chasing deadlines, managing crises, and pushing boundaries. Yet, we must remember to pause, celebrate our wins, and recharge our spirits—just like these incredible Naval officers do. After all, life isn’t just about the grind; it’s about balancing responsibility with joy. On an emotional note, what sets our Navy and other armed forces apart is their moral fiber. They stand tall with values and love for the nation that inspire them to serve selflessly till their last breath. That kind of dedication is humbling. So here’s a thought: Let’s take a cue from them. Let’s be fiercely committed to our work but never forget to celebrate the journey. Because if our heroes at sea can protect our nation while living their best lives, what’s stopping us from doing the same? Let’s salute their spirit! ?? #WorkHardPartyHard #NavyLifeLessons #Inspiration #SaluteToForces

Repost Naval Special Warfare Command - Navy SEAL & SWCC Teams Naval Special Warfare Center David Goggins Imagine that we are each a block of stone and it is our duty to sculpt it into the image we want to be. Upon completion of your work, I guarantee you would step back and be truly impressed by what you created. That is truly what this life is all about. You have to believe that you are the artist and you are chipping away at all of the rough edges. Underneath lies the person that you want to be. That person has always been there but until you start to chip away at those rough edges and do the necessary work, the best version of you will elude you. Most people think an artist is someone who creates pieces of art using their skills combined with their imagination. We all have the ability to be artists. We all have creativity and imagination. The work of art is us. We are the masterpiece. Most of us believe that we are far away from our perfect self. Truth be told, you are only a few rough edges away. Once you polish off those final rough edges, it’s amazing how fast the masterpiece is unveiled. The trick to all of this is if you don’t believe that you are a work of art, you will never be able to imagine it therefore you can never create it! Stay hard!

Nathan Canestaro's "The Mighty Moo" offers a captivating account of the USS Cowpens, a light aircraft carrier that defied expectations to become one of the most decorated ships of World War II. This meticulously researched book brings to life the remarkable journey of a vessel that many in the Navy initially dismissed as unwanted. The USS Cowpens, affectionately nicknamed "The Mighty Moo" by its crew, was part of the Independence-class of carriers hastily converted from light cruisers due to wartime necessity. Despite its unconventional origins and perceived disadvantages, including a narrow flight deck and a perpetual list, the Cowpens proved its worth in combat. Canestaro skillfully weaves together the ship's operational history with personal accounts from the crew, including his own grandfather, who served as a tail gunner on a torpedo bomber. This personal connection adds depth and authenticity to the narrative, making the story both informative and emotionally resonant. The book chronicles the Cowpens' participation in nearly every major Pacific battle, earning an impressive 12 battle stars without ever being hit by enemy fire. Canestaro explores the superstitions surrounding the ship's perceived "jinxed" status and how the crew overcame these beliefs through their exceptional performance. One of the most compelling aspects of the book is its portrayal of the Cowpens' role in the final days of the war. As the only aircraft carrier to enter Tokyo Bay for the formal surrender ceremonies, the Mighty Moo played a unique part in history. Canestaro's analysis of why this particular ship was chosen for this honor adds an intriguing layer to the narrative. “The Mighty Moo" is more than just a military history; it's a testament to the resilience and adaptability of both ship and crew. Canestaro's work not only honors the veterans who served aboard the Cowpens but also preserves an often-overlooked chapter of naval warfare. This book is essential reading for military history enthusiasts and anyone interested in the human stories behind the grand narratives of World War II. Thanks for recommending this to me, Nathan Canestaro https://lnkd.in/eBGyfpmw
