Junior Officers of the Year 'Deep Dive' into the Washington D.C. Sub Culture

摘要

The Junior Officers of the Year (JOOYs) for 2018, selected by their squadrons, were accompanied by their significant others for various events, including a meeting with the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and the Washington D.C. area Submarine Birthday Ball. The camaraderie in the group was instant; despite our various backgrounds-688, SSGN and SSBN, in drydock and operational, engineering and weapons and navigation-we shared similar experiences. It was a refreshing time to appreciate the work we had put into a job that can be all-consuming and to step back and see how our individual roles fit with the mission of the Submarine Force and the Navy at large.
