limited participation, because the
idea of CSADD is for junior sailors to
look out for junior sailors.

come out to support that event. For
the spice safety stand-down we hope to

CSADD - AROUND OUR NAVY 2011
The Way Ahead
As we look to the future of CSADD, we cannot forget the true
concept of this program: junior Sailors leading other junior Sailors.
During the course of the last year, I have visited several different
regions, and the initiatives and accomplishments junior Sailors have
made to our great Navy are remarkable.
I ask that our junior Sailors be allowed to maintain this
program as designed. We risk losing so much if this initiative
becomes just another mandated Navy program that is required rather
than voluntary, and taken out of the hands of the junior Sailor.
It's important that we remember the concept of this great program,
which is peer-to-peer mentorship and influence. It allows junior
Sailors to lead within their own peer groups knowing they have the
full support and respect of senior Naval Leadership.
Our Sailors prove everyday that they have the abilities to
make a difference in our organization. Part of this comes from the
trust and confidence we as senior leaders show them by giving them
the opportunity to shape and mold their own futures.
The CSADD slogan, which is embedded in the ship's wheel logo,
states maintaining "our" course. The orders to the helm are there,
and the junior Sailors have taken this program, embraced it, and are
steaming ahead to face challenges head on with a renewed spirit and
sense of self accomplishment. This will no doubt bring a greater
pride and kindred spirit within our organization and strengthen our
ability to meet our mission and continue to project our global force
for good.
Keep the press on and stay safe.
