📅 On this day, April 19, 1897, Theodore Roosevelt begins his work as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, marking the beginning of a transformative chapter in his remarkable life. 🚢⚓ As Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President William McKinley, Roosevelt made significant contributions to the modernization and expansion of the U.S. Navy. He was a passionate advocate for naval power and foresaw the importance of a strong navy in safeguarding America's interests and projecting its influence on the world stage. During his tenure, Roosevelt initiated reforms to improve the efficiency and readiness of the Navy, advocating for the construction of new battleships and the expansion of the naval fleet. His efforts played a crucial role in preparing the Navy for the challenges of the 20th century, including the Spanish-American War, where the U.S. Navy emerged as a formidable force. However, Roosevelt's time as Assistant Secretary of the Navy was not without controversy. His aggressive advocacy for war with Spain and his role in the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor raised questions about his judgment and leadership. Despite the controversies, Roosevelt's dedication to strengthening the Navy and promoting American power abroad left a lasting impact on U.S. military policy and strategy. Today, we commemorate Theodore Roosevelt's appointment as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and recognize his enduring legacy as a champion of American naval power and national security. #TheodoreRoosevelt #AssistantSecretaryoftheNavy #NavalHistory #MilitaryLeadership #AmericanPower #HistoricalAnniversary #USNavy #TransformationalLeadership

On this day in history, 9 October 1942, Oklahoma A&M College in Stillwater, OK becomes the first school for enlisted WAVES. The WAVES—Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service—were established by Public Law 689 in July 1942 as a Women’s Reserve to the U.S. Navy. Although Oklahoma A&M—now Oklahoma State University—was the first school for enlisted WAVES, many schools across the country participated in the education and training programs. These schools often received ship nicknames, such as Hunter College’s “USS Hunter” after it became the WAVES’ primary Naval Training Station. The WAVES did not serve on ships and were not permitted postings outside the continental United States until the very end of the war, but over 10,000 women served in the Navy various capacities. The Women’s Reserve was dissolved in 1946 as per the original agreement when the WAVES were established, but in 1948, the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act enabled women to join the Navy and Naval Reserve once again.

Naval Academy Alumni: I have a question for you. Senator Stennis is known as the “Father of the Modern Navy” for his staunch support of the Aircraft Carrier Fleet at a critical time in our history. He was also a staunch segregationist. When we published new research showing not only Senator Stennis’s record of opposing Civil Rights legislation, his fight against integration of the armed forces, and his effectiveness in blocking Black Americans from the Southern States from access to USNA nominations for almost 4 decades, I assumed three things: 1. As an Alumnus, you would be interested in learning about his segregationist history. 2. You would care and it would bother you that we have a ship named for him. 3. It would bother you enough that you would speak out for a name change. I’ll add #4 (you can PM me): I agree with all 3 but have too much to lose if I speak out. If you aren’t sure about #1, you can start here or with the attached PPT. https://lnkd.in/dBk23meh Which of my assumptions was flawed?

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

Saw this in an email this morning. Fascinating. Human Factors in Combat: A groundbreaking course at the Naval Academy  As future officers of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps prepare to face the complexities of modern warfare, a unique course at the U.S. Naval Academy is helping midshipmen address one of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of combat — the human element. The Human Factors in Combat course, now in its second semester, explores the physical, psychological, and emotional challenges faced by service members in combat environments. The course is designed to equip midshipmen with the tools needed to lead effectively in the most stressful of circumstances. Capt. Andrew Ledford, a professor at the Naval Academy and the lead instructor for the course, highlighted its importance in shaping future leaders. ”It's the human factors piece that is really, really difficult to discuss,” Ledford said. “But it's really, really important.” (usna.edu) Rafael Matos, Ph.D.
