... I have been working toward accomplishing the MBA for enhancing my career and to establish precedence within my family. This paper will enlighten the reader of why the degree of an MBA. Enhancing My Career Recently, I was offered a job and have since accepted the position as an electronic quality assurance representative to monitor the Department of Defense contracts of private companies in the Reno/Sparks area. I chose this position because of the experience that I gained via the military. I chose this field because I want to do my part to ensure the Department of Defense continues to be provided with a quality product. I have 11 years experience performing analytical research and inspections of several types of avionics systems. I have the technical experience to perform the job however; I do not have an inkling of how the inner workings of a private business work. I believe a MBA would assist me to have an understanding of my job and the company that has the contract that I would be overseeing. Jungian Personality Assessment Recently, I had partaken of the Jungian Personality self-assessment and recieved a trait indicator of ENFP or an extrovert with intuitive that has feelings and perceives. I believe this fits me to a “T.” Kleiman (2007) stated, “An individual’s personality can have an important bearing on job success” (p. 151). As one does research on the ENFP, they will find that the career choices are all encompassing. According to...

...WHAT SHOULD INDIAN NAVY DO TO INVITE BETTER TALENTED YOUTH? I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentle-man and is nothing else. Oliver Cromwell INTRODUCTION 1. In order for the Indian Navy to meet its ever growing list of commitments, it is imperative that it be staffed by intelligent, disciplined and courageous men and women. The Indian Navy’s charter of duties has increased many fold and grown beyond its traditional role in the last decade. Post 26/11 the importance of Coastal Security has been highlighted. Anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden and the ever-increasing threat of piracy along India’s own coast have further tasked the Indian Navy. The Indian Navy now interacts and operates with almost all major navies of the world, and is an ambassador of the nation. The Naval personnel have to be smart, eloquent and quick thinking to project the right image of the nation. Technology has always been led by the demands of the armed forces, and the Indian Navy is in the forefront in this aspect. All recent inductions are in the cutting edge of technology. To maximise the effect of technology, and to use them sensibly and responsibly, the Indian Navy needs youth with the correct education, intelligence and mental make up. 2. The Times of India, dated 07 Mar 2011 reported that the armed forces are facing a shortage of 15,004 officers. In written reply to a question...

...Faculty of Business, Sport and Enterprise Research and Enterprise Working Paper Series Working Paper Number IX June 2010 THE PERCEPTION OF THE VALUE OF HIGHER EDUCATION AMONGST TANKER OFFICERS Quentin.Cox@Solent.ac.uk 1 Abstract Current international maritime legislation requires professional qualifications to be attained, in order for seafarers to be employed as senior officers on merchant ships. There is no requirement for higher educational qualifications to be held by these staff. Nonetheless, it is apparent that many officer employees are conscious of the desirability of possessing recognised educational qualifications. Several have, entirely voluntarily, taken steps to advance their higher education simultaneously with their seagoing careers. This is not a new phenomenon but an opportunity has been taken to gauge current attitudes toward the matter. The paper has been composed as a result of empirical research from a random sample of seagoing officers, whom have attended the Specialised Tanker Training Programmes at Warsash Maritime Academy, since the autumn of 2009. A sample, consisting of 61 course participants, was asked if any had undertaken, or had considered undertaking, higher education study. Of these, 21 had indicated such a preference and were then presented with a series of ten open-ended questions. The results of this survey are presented in this paper and the rationale behind their answers discussed. The paper has also endeavoured to place the findings...

...convicted for the brutal murder of Chris Kyle, former Navy Seal, and his comrade Chad Littlefield. As the debate summary we decided to go with the pro side of the argument, which includes; Eddie Routh's history of mental disorders, how he fled the scene, and the sentence given to him for his murder charge. Not only did this topic make us have different opinions amongst each other, but made us open our minds to different views. Even though as a team we had our disagreements and different believes on the topic, we came together for the final decision of the debate. We believed that the murder trial of Chris Kyle was justly sentenced. Even though Eddie was facing a low point in his life we believe his alcohol abuse, violent behavior and strange conduct were contributing factors that led to his mental state. Living in a city with one of the biggest military bases in the country, we all in different ways are related to military personnel. Some of us personally know veterans with PTSD. It was discussed during our meetings that it normally takes more than a shooting range to trigger someone to relive those experiences that only veterans have experienced. We are devastated that this incident turned out the way it did, ending the life of not only the two veterans who were shot, but the life of their families as well. During our research of the topic, we learned more about who Chris Kyle was and how he was admired by many. His military career had ended but he was in the process of something...

...However, being screened does not define the readiness of children or adults; it only identifies an individual’s susceptibility to emotional disruption. Every soldier cannot be a coterie Navy Seal. According to Chief Executive Officer James D. Murphy, only six percent create it through the entire Navy Seal course (Murphy, 2014). That is only six out of every one hundred applicants, the rest are mentally and physically forced to concede. Resembling Navy Seals, emergency response professionals also need use similar screening methods, where only the suitable survive the testing. If an individual has a weakness, going through the Navy Seal training program will find it. Using some Navy Seal testing should be one of the methods for becoming an elite ERP. When screening for ERP candidates, their physical and mental aptitudes will show PTSD susceptibilities and...

...This paper addresses the issue of Work-Life Balance, an area of special interest highlighted by the Navy Civil Engineer Corps’ Women Professional Network (WPN). Through several phone conferences with and input from Civil Engineer Corps (CEC) officers across the Navy and some initial website research, this paper defines work-life balance, assesses the relevance and importance to an officer in the CEC, and provides potential recommendations for consideration. What is Work-Life Balance? Work to live, don’t live to work. The first step is to define work-life balance and understand why it’s important. A good work-life balance means that you have control over your workplace conditions and that you are equally satisfied with your work life and with your home life. Work-life balance means that you have and understand the many benefits of having varied interests and ways to spend your time outside of work. It means you value having other things to focus on, and that you are consequently a happier and more fulfilled person. With this lifestyle comes a greater sense of inner security and confidence and these qualities tend to play out in the way you interact with people, the way you handle stress and problems, and in the way you are perceived as a military officer and leader. Philosophically, you, your home, the organization you work for, and society benefit when you have a balanced work-life. What makes a good work-life balance? This depends on your personal...

Although this college is meant primarily for Catholics, it admits other students irrespective of caste and creed. The College aims at training young men and women of quality to be leaders in all walks of life, whom we hope will play a vital role in bringing about the desired changes for the betterment of the people of our country, more particularly of the dalits and other poorer and marginalized sections of society. The College trains young men and women to serve their fellowmen in justice, truth and love. Loyola College became autonomous in July 1978.

The University degrees will be conferred on the students passing the examinations conducted by the college. In Loyola, we look at education differently...

...Career Pathway Assessment For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to become a nurse. When I think back I am not sure why. I do remembered my auntie always caring for elderly people and for children. She had brought two houses in Philadelphia that was located next to each other. The first house was where she and some of the children that she cared for had lived and the house next door was where the elderly people had lived. Every summer I would stay with my auntie and I remembered I was excited to help her feed and care for them. I can also remember always wanting to become a candy striper in the hospital in which I did and I also remembered enjoying the experience. When I graduated from high school in 1986 I was accepted to the nursing program at SUNY Morrisville College in New York. I felt so overwhelmed in the program because it seemed that everyone there except for me had some type of nursing experience. I was only 17 years old when I left for college and it was my first time away from home that I was not focused which caused me to have to drop the nursing program. I was so disappointed in myself. I had changed my major to Business Administration. After doing a year and half at the college I ran out of money to continue school so I left and I joined the Navy. My desire was to enter into a medical field but at the time it was not available so I became an Air Traffic Controller but my focus was only to stay four years to get the educational benefits...

...Young1 RICHARD BALLARD PROFILE By definition, Richard Ballard was a great oceanographer. Ballard had always been interested in the sea since he was a little child. His curiosity got the best of him and he has accomplished so much since then. He has written a variety of books to go along with his scientific research and findings within the ocean floors. One of his most popular discoveries was The Titanic. His underwater archaeology work is amazing. It is pretty impressive to know that Ballard has a sense of humor when it comes to storytelling in his books. It is pretty incredible to go submarine diving and not know if you will surface because you are on a mission to find the impossible artifacts within the black sea. Ballard was also known for his natural discoveries during his deep-sea expeditions. Even though Ballard is known for his discoveries, his first expedition was unsuccessful. There are many written pages that discuss Richard Ballard’s underwater discoveries. “During Richards long career he conducted more than one hundred-twenty deep-sea expeditions using the latest in exploration technology, and he is a pioneer in the early use of deep-diving submarines” (Richard Ballard). As the president of an Exploration Institute, Ballard received many prestigious awards for his discoveries, television appearances and books to go and prove his findings. Many of Richards’s expeditions are well known. “He led the 1977 expedition that discovered deep-sea hydrothermal vents...

This trend has been taking place since 2008 and although still in its infant stage, it is slowly but surely gaining momentum in the talent acquisition world. With the world headed into an era where everything is automated or computer driven, Social Recruiting will no longer be a thing of the future but a thing of the present. My Topic Selection that I have chosen is: Social Recruiting: Talent Acquisition & Social Media. According to David Smooke, a San Francisco Bay Area – Director, Content & Social Media @ SmartRecruiters, “Social recruiting is a contested term. It is a concept at the intersection of recruitment and the embryonic field of social media. There are several terms used interchangeably including social hiring, social recruitment and social media recruitment.” Allison Doyle, Job Search and Employment Expert at About.com, said, “Social Recruiting is when companies and recruiters use Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and other social media sites to source and recruit candidates for employment.” According to Matt Alder, Strategy Consultant for HR and Founder...

...Glenn Luther Martin 1886-1955 Joel Alm 9-24-2014 Research Paper-1 AVMA 2211 Glenn Luther Martin was a self-taught pilot, youthful businessman and an inventor whose bombers and flying boats played important roles in WWI, WWII, and for part of the Cold War. Martin was born on January 17, 1886 in Macksburg, Iowa and passed away on December 4, 1955 in Baltimore, Maryland (Encyclopedia). Glenn founded the Glenn L. Martin Company in 1912. In 1916, he merged his company with the original Wright Company, forming the Wright –Martin Aircraft Company. He ended up leaving the Wright-Martin Aircraft Company and founded a second Glenn L. Martin Company in 1917. After his passing, his second company would eventually in 1995 merge with the Lockheed Corporation, forming Lockheed Martin which is a major aerospace and defense contractor still today (Kansas Wesleyan). At the age of two, Martin’s family moved to Kansas so that his father could run a wheat farm (Kansas Wesleyan). Four years later Martin showed a great interest for kites and eventually started designing his own kites. Despite criticism from his friends, people noticed Martin’s kites and would pay him twenty five cents to build one for them. Along with his obsession for kites, Martin would find innovative ways to make everyday activities more interesting. He began using sails for everything: ice skates, wagons, and his bicycle. The Wright Brother’s first flight in 1903 caught Martin’s attention. He was fascinated with their...
