Congratulations to IC3 Fleming of V-2 Air Department USS Nimitz for winning the JVC Everio Video Camera and was counseled via the winning puzzle by MA1 Robbins, VAW117 CCC, during the Annual Career Fair onboard USS Nimitz. (PHOTOS next page)

Career Fair 2009 was held at the Mess Deck led by Nimitz & Airwing CCCs. NC1 Wallace led in providing all the logistics & coordination. The highlight was the raffling of a $400+ Video Camera (sponsored by Nimitz MWR) but with a catch. In order to be drawn, Sailors must answer either one of the puzzles and to get the answers must approach any of the counselors at the table during the fair. A fun way to do a training from Post 9-11 GI Bill & NCPACE to PTS to STA-21. An estimated 1,000 Sailors participated & 500 in the drawing.

“Career Fair was not all about the $400 camera but about Sailor’s “priceless” career. We hope that everyone shall follow-through in what the Sailors have learned from the Career Counselors (from CCC down to divisional career counselors) during the fair. Counselors provided direction and counsel about the many programs & incentives.” – NCC Astro. Special thanks to Fun Boss for the Video Camera.

Principles of Naval Leadership1. Know yourself and seek self-

improvement. • Make an honest evaluation of yourself to determine your strong and weak personal qualities. • Seek the honest opinions of your friends of superiors to show you how to improve your leadership ability. • Learn by studying the causes of success or failure of other leaders. • Develop a genuine interest in people. • Have specific goals and definite plans to attain them. • Have a systematic personal reading program that emphasizes not only professional subjects but also includes topics to help you understand people, both as individuals and in their functioning groups.

The Navy Counselors Association (NCA) 22nd Annual Professional Development and Training Symposium will be held at the Marriott Norfolk Waterside Hotel, in Norfolk, Va., June 27-July 1, 2010. During the Symposium, the NCA will select three career counselors of the year. Nomination packages must be received no later than June 1, 2010 after routing through the respective TYCOM.

The DoD released the 2010 Basic Allowance for Housing charts on December 15. This is potentially big news for veterans using the Post-9/11 GI Bill because the living stipend (aka housing stipend) is directly tied to the BAH for an e-5 with dependents. Although some may see their GI Bill Living stipend increase by as much as 13.6 percent in 2010, the average increase will be more like 2.5 percent. Some may see no increase at all because the rates for 43% of the military housing areas covered by BAH will actually drop in 2010. For more information visit www.gibill.va.gov

LIMDU Sailors May Transfer GI BillThe Navy recently established a formal policy for transferability of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits for limited duty (LIMDU) Sailors. Sailors in a LIMDU status who require an additional service obligation for transferability must wait for a final determination of their medical status to be completed. Sailors cleared for duty and eligible for continued service must follow the standard transferability procedures. Sailors who are being medically discharged can still be eligible for transferability provided they completed at least 10 years of service and their discharge is honorable. Sailors can no longer use short-term extensions for the purpose of Post-9/11 GI Bill transferability after Dec. 31, 2009. For more information, see NAVADMIN 354/09 under "Messages.“ http://www.npc.navy.mil/

4. Keep your subordinates informed. • Whenever possible, explain why tasks must be done and any pertinent amplifying instruction. • Arrange to get sufficient feedback to assure yourself that immediate subordinates are passing on necessary information. • Be alert to detect the spread of rumors.

Principles of Naval Leadership6. Ensure the task is understood,

supervised and accomplished. • Issue every order as if it were your own. • Use the established chain of command. • Encourage subordinates to ask questions concerning any point in your orders or directives they do not understand. • Question subordinates to determine if there is any doubt or misunderstanding in regard to the task to be accomplished. • Supervise the execution of your orders. • Exercise care and thought in supervision. Over supervision hurts initiative and creates resentment; under supervision will not get the job done.

Principles of Naval Leadership7. Train your unit as a team.

• Study, prepare and train thoroughly, endlessly. • Encourage unit participation in recreational and military events. • Do not publicly blame an individual for the team’s failure or praise just an individual for the team’s success. • Ensure that training is meaningful, and that the purpose is clear to all members of the command. • Train your team based on realistic conditions. • Insist that every person understands the functions of the other members of the team and the functions of the team as a part of the unit.

Principles of Naval Leadership10. Employ your command in accordance with

its capabilities. • Avoid volunteering your unit for tasks that are beyond their capabilities. • Be sure that tasks assigned to subordinates are reasonable. • Assign tasks equally among your subordinates. • Use the full capabilities of your unit before requesting assistance.

Principles of Naval Leadership11. Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions.

• Learn the duties of your immediate senior, and be prepared to accept the responsibilities of these duties. • Seek a variety of leadership positions that will give you experience in accepting responsibility in different fields. • Take every opportunity that offers increased responsibility. • Perform every task, no matter whether it be top secret or seemingly trivial, to the best of your ability. • Stand up for what you think is right. Have courage in your convictions. • Carefully evaluate a subordinate’s failure before taking action against that subordinate. • In the absence of orders, take the initiative to perform the actions you believe your senior would direct you to perform if present.
