SURFPAC Media Week Aug 2021
MORE
State of the Surface Force Media Week
Surface Warfare Junior officers have experienced several organizational and training shifts in the last decade. We made significant investments to increase both the amount and depth of training that junior Surface Warfare Officers receive before they even report aboard their ship. Under the Mariner Skills Training Program (MSTP), $716.5M has been programmed and invested in modernizing navigation, seamanship and ship handling (NSS) training across the Surface Force with the fielding of state-of-the art NSS simulators in all of the major Fleet Concentration Areas. An intensive four (4) week Junior Officer of the Deck (JOOD) course was implemented in June of 2019 and has produced over 2,000 graduates. This course was replaced with an expanded six (6) week Officer of the Deck (OOD) Phase 1 course on 06 July 2021 and will be complemented with an additional three (3) week OOD Phase 2 course starts 04 October 2021. Leaders: LCDR Anthony Harris, MSTCPAC LT Amber Bullen, MSTCPAC LT Christina Danai, USS Manchester (LCS 14) LT Johnathan Falcone, USS Manchester (LCS 14) LTJG Jeffrey Shelton, USS Mustin (DDG 89) ENS Christian Dumangas, USS Decatur (DDG 73)
