...OFFICER PROGRAM APPLICATION PREPARATION HANDBOOK (OCS, CSPI, DCE, & AVCAD) USCG Training Center Cape May, NJ September 2012 v. 13 50 OCS, CSPI, DCE, AVCAD APPLICATION PREPARATION HANDBOOK (Officers – except for certain captains – and those who had enlisted were let go, or “put on the beach” when wars ended.) Officers were given commissions by the monarch. Like a commission given to an artist or architect to produce a new work, these commissions laid out the scope of their duties and their responsibilities in the specific office or position they were appointed to. And they served at the pleasure of the king (or queen), meaning they could be dismissed by the monarch at any time. These traditions applied throughout the Royal Navy, including in ships stationed in Britain’s North American colonies. During the War for Independence, the Continental Navy maintained these traditions. And after the U.S. achieved its independence from Britain, both the Revenue Marine (starting in 1790) and Navy (beginning in 1798) carried them forward.

...Corporate Identity and Corporate Brand Alignment: The Strategic Positioning of British Airways in the 20th Century John M. T. Balmer, Brunel University, Helen Stuart, Australian Catholic University, Stephen A. Greyser, Harvard University. Abstract In this paper we explain the utility of adopting an identity-based view of the corporation using the diagnostic tool of identity management outlined in this article, “The ACID Test”. Using British Airways (BA) as an extensive case history we scrutinize and explicate how BA’s senior executives intuitively adopted an identity-based perspective as part of the strategic management of the carrier. Our analysis is corroborated by insights from the former CEO of British Airways, Lord Marshall, and also draws on our long-time association with his predecessor, Lord King. The overriding message from our work is that calibrating the multiple identities of the corporation is a critical dimension of strategic management. Introduction This article uses Balmer’s latest version of the ACID Test Framework which encompasses the added dimension of the covenanted identity. Previous articles on the framework include Balmer and Gray (2003), Balmer and Greyser (2002) and Balmer (2002). In our view there are six critical identity types that senior executives of modern corporations need to ensure are broadly calibrated with each other. Each is characterised by a distinct identity type, linked to a corporate-level concept that is of fundamental...
