MCPON’s Brilliant on the Basics Six key aspects that form the enduring

foundation upon which every successful career is launched:

Sponsorship/first 72 hours: Proactive interaction by a sponsor and paves the way for a smooth transition and making that Navy family feel like a genuine part of their new command.

Indoc: A great sponsorship program must be followed up by an effective indoctrination program, sending a strong, positive signal that we value the talent and skills of the Sailor and we have a plan to integrate them into the team. Additionally it immediately sets the tone on what you expect of the Sailor and also what should be expected from you.

24

MCPON’s Brilliant on the Basics (cont.)

Career Development Boards (CDBs): Leadership involvement, primarily by the CMC, the Chief’s mess and the Command Career Counselor, is critical to the success of every Sailor. CDBs are required within 30 days of a Sailor reporting aboard, and again at 6 and 12 months.

Ombudsman program: Ombudsmen are trained to disseminate information from the chain of command to the families, including official command information and community information. They can also provide referrals and are instrumental in resolving family issues before the issues require extensive command attention.

25

MCPON’s Brilliant on the Basics (cont.)

Mentorship: Leaders should be proactive in mentoring, giving junior Sailors and peers the benefit of your experience.

Recognition: Be creative, praise in public, and make your Sailors know they are appreciated.
