Objectives: Student becomes familiar with meaning of Navy & USMC Core Values.

Where do we learn our values: Family
Church

Country
Values will affect our thoughts, feeling, and behavior. The lawless behavior seen in our society today reflects a diminished sense of values.
One of the goals of NJROTC is to instill in our cadets the values of citizenship.
The core values of the Navy help to build good citizenship and are good values to live by even if you do not join the Navy.
2. What are the Navy Core Values? Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
Adopted 09 October 1992 by CNO Adm. Frank Kelso
At this time the Navy was 217 y/o. Why now?
Give a very devised (racial, gender, ethnic, religion) workforce a common vision.
HONOR: “I am accountable for my professional and personal behavior.” Conduct yourself in highest ethical manner. Be honest. Be mindful of the privilege I have to serve my fellow Americans.
COURAGE: “Moral and mental strength to do what is right, even in the face of temptation or adversity”. Do the right thing even when no one is looking….ADM Mike Boorda.
There are two types of courage: Physical and Mental/Moral
COMMITMENT: Day-to-day duty of every member to improve the quality our work, our people, and ourselves. Be a team. Do what is required to be ready when called upon.

Fraternization: Inappropriate relationship between superior and a subordinate that could result in favoritism or discipline problems.
NJROTC does not have a policy for cadets as strict as its active duty members.
The above violate the core values……….
Explain how cadets can employ core values in class, at school, and at home.
4. Practicing the core values
L – Learn (Know core values and how they help readiness)
A- Adopt (Adopt as your guide to how you behave)
T- Think (Recognize when core values are being comprised)
A- Act (Do the right thing. Apply in all your dealings w/others)
R- Re-evaluate (Periodically reflect on your behavior in terms of values)
5. Relationship Between Teamwork & Behavior According to NCV: Sometime we don’t realize we are operating in the moral/ethical gray area. NCV will help you navigate these area. Examine whether you behavior is honorable.
If your fellow cadets behave in a morally/ethically questionable manner, tell them in non-confrontational manner.
