Sailors approaching time for 00:50.892 --> 00:52.892 orders that want to stay out of the 00:52.892 --> 00:54.994 normal rotation of the ship to shore 00:55.134 --> 00:56.912 may find that naval corrections 00:56.912 --> 00:58.967 fulfills the diverse leadership that 00:58.974 --> 01:01.354 all seek to not only build upon their 01:01.365 --> 01:04.004 careers but also serve in a rewarding 01:04.014 --> 01:06.275 capacity in a special duty billet , 01:06.285 --> 01:08.396 serving in a supportive joint service 01:08.396 --> 01:10.345 environment , providing holistic 01:10.355 --> 01:12.275 rehabilitative , restorative and 01:12.285 --> 01:14.535 hopeful process to combined service 01:14.544 --> 01:16.915 members is the core of what naval 01:16.925 --> 01:19.614 corrections specialists do day in and 01:19.625 --> 01:20.625 day out . 01:26.629 --> 01:28.851 So it's all about professionalism , the 01:28.851 --> 01:30.796 leadership ethic that we hold here 01:30.796 --> 01:33.279 within the command revolves around the 01:33.290 --> 01:35.800 way we carry ourselves in our mission , 01:35.809 --> 01:38.989 how we own what we do . Nobody here is 01:39.000 --> 01:41.550 a correction specialist by trade . We 01:41.559 --> 01:43.226 pick up what it means to be a 01:43.226 --> 01:45.226 correctional specialist in the Navy 01:45.226 --> 01:47.392 here at the brig . And so we train and 01:47.392 --> 01:49.503 we maintain a professional atmosphere 01:49.503 --> 01:51.559 here in order to maintain security , 01:51.559 --> 01:53.781 which is first and foremost our mission 01:53.781 --> 01:57.190 and then maintain a safety also here so 01:57.199 --> 01:59.459 that we can adequately train and carry 01:59.470 --> 02:01.581 out our mission in the most effective 02:01.581 --> 02:03.637 manner . Correction specialists that 02:03.637 --> 02:06.250 come here . We are here to ensure that 02:06.260 --> 02:08.960 they're safe while they're here . That 02:08.970 --> 02:10.940 is the safety and security of this 02:10.949 --> 02:13.179 facility of the staff here of the 02:13.190 --> 02:16.089 prisoners so that they can have the 02:16.100 --> 02:19.899 time to be to rehabilitate and be ready 02:19.910 --> 02:21.919 to go back out to the . It's 02:21.929 --> 02:24.589 challenging , but it's worth it . It 02:25.080 --> 02:28.520 is a very unique 02:29.449 --> 02:33.339 leadership challenge . But once you 02:33.350 --> 02:35.517 learn the ins and outs of everything , 02:35.850 --> 02:39.520 hands down . Very , very awesome 02:39.529 --> 02:41.418 building facility manager and the 02:41.418 --> 02:43.196 maintenance officer , I have uh 02:43.196 --> 02:45.259 numerous sailors that are underneath 02:45.270 --> 02:47.381 that have uh different rates . I have 02:47.381 --> 02:49.603 machinist mates . I have electricians . 02:49.603 --> 02:51.714 I even have both inmates and they all 02:51.714 --> 02:53.770 come back to our facility department 02:53.770 --> 02:53.720 and they learn a lot of different 02:53.729 --> 02:55.673 traits and responsibilities . They 02:55.673 --> 02:57.896 actually have a lot of opportunities to 02:57.896 --> 02:59.896 get certifications back here and so 02:59.896 --> 03:01.570 forth , teach prisoners those 03:01.580 --> 03:03.413 certifications or get the prison 03:03.413 --> 03:05.636 certifications and so they can progress 03:05.636 --> 03:07.302 when they leave out of here . 03:07.302 --> 03:09.524 Corrections specialists work to provide 03:09.524 --> 03:11.759 a safe humane and orderly custody of 03:11.770 --> 03:14.690 confined service members facilitating 03:14.699 --> 03:16.366 corrections , treatments like 03:16.366 --> 03:18.421 counseling , management , training , 03:18.421 --> 03:19.866 vocational employment and 03:19.866 --> 03:21.660 rehabilitation are the many 03:21.669 --> 03:23.391 responsibilities , corrections 03:23.391 --> 03:26.020 specialists hold as a vital part of the 03:26.029 --> 03:28.210 correction facilities . Now , if you 03:28.220 --> 03:30.387 would have told me 15 years ago , when 03:30.387 --> 03:32.609 I joined the Navy , I was going to be a 03:32.609 --> 03:34.609 corrections officer in 15 years . I 03:34.609 --> 03:34.350 would have said there's no way to grow 03:34.360 --> 03:36.527 and kind of get out of my comfort zone 03:36.527 --> 03:38.720 and continue to challenge myself . So 03:38.729 --> 03:40.729 that's what kind of attracted me to 03:40.729 --> 03:43.699 this bill . That and the location 03:43.710 --> 03:45.710 Charleston is a beautiful city . So 03:45.710 --> 03:47.599 whenever they said Charleston was 03:47.599 --> 03:49.710 available , I was like , definitely . 03:54.440 --> 03:56.718 So it's been a , it's been a challenge . 03:56.718 --> 03:58.718 Every , everybody , every branch is 03:58.718 --> 04:00.829 different in how they do things . But 04:00.829 --> 04:00.750 I've also learned so much about the 04:00.759 --> 04:03.470 other branches and , and how they work . 04:03.479 --> 04:05.423 Uh I really like how the Navy does 04:05.423 --> 04:08.369 their ceremonial um things around the 04:08.380 --> 04:10.602 around , how they leave the brick , how 04:10.602 --> 04:12.602 they come to the brig , how they re 04:12.602 --> 04:14.658 enlist . Um It's very different from 04:14.658 --> 04:16.880 the Air Force and just more traditional 04:16.880 --> 04:19.102 and I like that a lot . Well , being in 04:19.102 --> 04:21.213 being in a joint environment honestly 04:21.213 --> 04:23.158 is I've been in joint environments 04:23.158 --> 04:25.102 before . I've worked at the Marine 04:25.102 --> 04:27.269 Corps as an RP . We get a chance to go 04:27.269 --> 04:29.436 with the Marine but being around other 04:29.436 --> 04:31.658 branches . As far as you have the Coast 04:31.658 --> 04:33.547 Guard here , you have coast Guard 04:33.547 --> 04:36.160 personnel , you have , you have Air 04:36.170 --> 04:38.392 Force , you have all different types of 04:38.392 --> 04:40.559 people . And I , I say this , you have 04:40.559 --> 04:42.670 all different types of people on , on 04:42.670 --> 04:44.892 both sides , people who are here in the 04:44.892 --> 04:47.114 prison and then people on the outside , 04:47.114 --> 04:46.380 but we're gonna enjoy the environment . 04:46.390 --> 04:48.980 It's , it's actually fun and fun in the 04:48.989 --> 04:52.350 sense of you see how everybody kind of 04:52.359 --> 04:54.470 does their thing on their side of the 04:54.470 --> 04:56.248 house as far as army , how they 04:56.248 --> 04:58.248 interact with each other . But then 04:58.248 --> 05:00.303 we're also , at the end of the day , 05:00.303 --> 04:59.799 we're one big family because usually 04:59.809 --> 05:01.920 we'll come together , especially when 05:01.920 --> 05:03.976 it comes to PT and stuff like that . 05:03.976 --> 05:06.031 And what helps with me is seeing the 05:06.031 --> 05:07.920 different sides . So Marine Corps 05:07.920 --> 05:07.679 Corrections is a little bit different 05:07.690 --> 05:09.559 than naval corrections . Naval 05:09.570 --> 05:11.403 corrections primarily focuses on 05:11.403 --> 05:14.019 rehabilitation . Um Primarily looking 05:14.029 --> 05:16.329 out for uh the unit team manager 05:16.339 --> 05:18.579 concept , the unit team . So being 05:18.589 --> 05:20.700 joint , lets me experience both sides 05:20.700 --> 05:22.700 of the Marine Corps corrections and 05:22.700 --> 05:24.922 then also Naval Corrections , it brings 05:24.922 --> 05:27.010 new looks on old things . No , not , 05:27.399 --> 05:29.709 not one of us see things the same way . 05:29.970 --> 05:32.660 Many of us have more experience than 05:32.670 --> 05:34.790 others , whether in this field or 05:34.799 --> 05:36.966 another . And we all bring that to the 05:36.966 --> 05:38.855 table . So you're always learning 05:38.855 --> 05:40.966 something new every day coming from a 05:40.966 --> 05:42.859 military army post and an army 05:42.869 --> 05:45.609 correctional essentially and everything 05:45.619 --> 05:47.730 come to , uh , it would be like a new 05:47.730 --> 05:50.130 side of things . Um It , I mean , I 05:50.140 --> 05:52.362 have learned a lot from the sailors the 05:52.362 --> 05:54.584 same way they didn't learn from me . Um 05:54.584 --> 05:56.640 I have teach them a lot of new stuff 05:56.640 --> 05:58.751 that they didn't know based on uh the 05:58.751 --> 06:00.973 different regulations . Um but has been 06:00.973 --> 06:02.529 an interesting experience , 06:07.989 --> 06:10.480 individuals that are stationed here and 06:10.489 --> 06:12.709 take this special duty assignment on 06:12.720 --> 06:14.776 need to understand that what they're 06:14.776 --> 06:17.279 doing is no small task . They're not 06:17.290 --> 06:19.380 just posted in a housing unit for 12 06:19.390 --> 06:22.190 hours . They have direct impacts on 06:22.200 --> 06:24.311 these individuals that are eventually 06:24.311 --> 06:26.422 going to get released to society . So 06:26.422 --> 06:28.950 what they do on a day to day basis 06:28.959 --> 06:31.350 matters what I've tried to stress here 06:31.359 --> 06:34.350 as a commanding officer for the is 06:34.359 --> 06:36.526 ownership in the mission that we're in 06:36.526 --> 06:38.581 the people business . So this is all 06:38.581 --> 06:40.803 about communicating . It doesn't matter 06:40.803 --> 06:42.970 just what you say , it matters how you 06:42.970 --> 06:45.137 say it , eye opening experience as far 06:45.137 --> 06:47.137 as maturity goes . So you know , to 06:47.137 --> 06:49.192 come here , you really want the best 06:49.192 --> 06:51.081 and brightest and the most mature 06:51.081 --> 06:52.970 people , you're going to find out 06:52.970 --> 06:54.803 really quick , some things about 06:54.803 --> 06:56.970 yourself and some things about your co 06:56.970 --> 06:59.081 workers . The second you get put into 06:59.081 --> 06:58.640 an awkward situation that you don't 06:58.649 --> 07:01.320 want to be in , in here because you're 07:01.329 --> 07:03.880 never going to have a solid day with 07:03.890 --> 07:05.834 everybody that's pleasant . You're 07:05.834 --> 07:08.057 going to have to tell a prisoner . No , 07:08.057 --> 07:10.168 you can't do this . No , you can't do 07:10.168 --> 07:09.989 that . You need to stop doing this or 07:10.000 --> 07:12.056 stop doing that . You , you're never 07:12.056 --> 07:14.222 always going to get the response , you 07:14.222 --> 07:16.500 know . Yes , chief , yes petty officer . 07:16.500 --> 07:18.722 Yes , sergeant . Sometimes you're going 07:18.722 --> 07:17.920 to have those moments where people 07:17.929 --> 07:19.869 challenge you in special duty 07:19.880 --> 07:21.890 assignment as wardens of military 07:21.899 --> 07:24.429 justice . Naval corrections specialists 07:24.440 --> 07:26.690 not only act as facilitators of good 07:26.700 --> 07:29.369 order and discipline , but also provide 07:29.380 --> 07:32.459 compassion and a sense of hope . The 07:32.470 --> 07:34.581 corrections environment holds to navy 07:34.581 --> 07:37.040 core values of honor , courage , and 07:37.049 --> 07:39.350 commitment and seeks the diverse and 07:39.359 --> 07:41.540 motivated professionals from the fleet 07:41.600 --> 07:44.089 who are willing to step out of self and 07:44.100 --> 07:46.230 step into serving as a naval 07:46.239 --> 07:48.420 corrections specialist .
