No, a medical officer is not qualified to hold ‘command at sea’ of any USN ship.There are technically 4 types of officers in the US Navy:Unrestricted Line Officers. URL is a requirement to qualify for command at sea. URL officers include Surface Warfare, Submarine Warfare, Special Warfare, Special Operations, Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers.Restricted Line Officers. RL includes Public Affairs, Intelligence, Cryptology, Weather and many others. RL officers are not qualified for command at sea.Staff Corps Officers. Staff Corps includes Medical, Dental, Supply, Legal, Chaplain, Nurses and Civil Engineer officers. Staff Corps officers are not qualified for command at sea.Limited Duty Officers (LDO’s) and Warrant Officers. LDO’s are Warrant’s are technical specialists in their specific field and are prior-enlisted E-6 to E-9 for LDO and E-7 to E-9 for Warrant. LDO’s can be either Line or Staff Corps. Line LDO has 20+ designators from Deck to Ordnance. Staff Corps has only 3. Warrants can also be Line or Staff Corps. Line Warrants have 20+ designators in the same fields. Staff Corps has only 4. Neither LDO’s nor Warrants qualify for command at sea.Now technically LDO’s, Warrants, Staff Corps Officers and Restrictred Line officers could apply to become Unrestricted Line Officers but it would literally take an act of Congress, no seriously it would need to be approved by a very lengthy process that rarely goes in favor of person making the request. LDO’s have the best chance of becoming a URL depending on their specialty but, even that is going to be super rare.An Aircraft Carrier in the US Navy has special ‘regulations’ when it comes to commanding officer qualifications. No they are not ‘laws’ as reported by some of the answers. First and foremost, command at sea can only be held by Unrestricted Line Officers. For example my current ship is a CVN aka aircraft carrier. We have a Chaplain that is a Captain (O-6), Supply Officer that is a Commander (O-5), a Senior Medical Officer that is a Commander, a Aviation Maintenance Officer that is a Commander and none of them are in the command line of succession. In fact my Division Officer, who is an Ensign (O-1) Surface Warfare URL is higher in the line of succession than any of them.Furthermore an aircraft carrier must be commanded by a URL that is a Naval Aviator or Naval Flight Officer. And not just any NA or NFO gets the job. Once a NA or NFO gets selected for Captain, which can only come after a successful tour as a aviation squadron commanding officer tour, he or she we be pipelines for either major aviation command or major command at sea. The aviation command pipeline means CAG or Commander Carrier Airwing. The command at sea pipeline means Command Officer of a carrier. To be selected for either is rare. Once a NA/NFO is selected for the carrier pipeline he or she will go to Nuclear Power School. Then he or she will go to a CVN as an Executive Officer for about 18 months. Then he or she will go to a couple more schools. Then he or she will go to large surface combatant, usually an LPD these days and sometimes and LCC. Only after those successful XO and CO tours will he or she take command of a CVN.

I worked in the timber industry for 17 years because the “man pay” was 3 times more than the secretarial wages I was making.I had went to Business School after high school and got a few temporary jobs before I turned Hippie. Eventually, I got bored with the communal, drug induced lifestyle and settled down with a cheating husband. After I wised up, I decided I would get a job that would pay for toilet paper and feed myself and a dog or two.I was content, found a better quality man and thought life was my apple, until the spotted owl changed everything. It got the endangered species status and plywood mills started shutting down because timber was no longer available.The government came in and established the “dislocated timber workers program.” that would pay to have us retrained. I was youngish and decided why not?As you can see, I have had some hiccups in my life, but College at age 42 changed me even more than anyone thought possible. It took major adjustment to transform myself. I was rough looking, always had dirty fingernails, and cussed with enthusiasm.As a dental hygienist I would wear a white lab coat, delicate latex gloves and learn the language to educate my patients about their dental needs.To make that change I would need to get educated in the difficult medical field. I liked school and thought it would be a cinch until I studied the college level prerequisites. I had to start with math 52 so I could eventually pass chemistry. There was Anatomy and Physiology times 3, plus microbiology. All this before I even apply for my intended dental program.College at my age altered my entire DNA. One of my first classes was learning how to study. I discovered Acronyms and mnemonic devices which they didn’t teach in my ancient high school days. My older brain didn’t absorb new knowledge easily, so these hacks saved my life.The best part, I learned that I would be rewarded if I put in the time and studied hard. The A’s I received gave me confidence which in turn taught me poise. It truly was a magic trick to not only alter my physical appearance but also modify my attitude to that of an educated woman.If I had known how long and hard the process would be I would never had started. Thankfully, I dulled myself to the pain of studying and tried to remember the monetary compensation and respect I would eventually earn.My local newspaper, “The Register Guard,” had a weekly feature called “Write On” that showcased short stories from the readers. Below is a copy of my narrative between finishing the prerequisites and being accepted in the dental program a year and half later.“Laid-off mill worker struggles for new life”This is the reality of what happens to many of the dislocated timber workers that doesn’t get reported in statistics of news coverage.The Christmas 1992 mill shut-down was both predictable and devastating. We had seen the smoke from the dilapidated boiler dissipate into the sky of the surrounding clear-cut hills and knew our lives were headed for a similar destiny.We had worked together nine years here and many years before at other mills. Dr. Government came in and offered a solution to this merry-go-round. We would be known as “dislocated timber workers,” and have the opportunity to go to school and get a new career.Change at any age is scary, but to someone who is 50-something it is horrific. Being dislocated is very painful.At age 42, I figured with at least 20 years of work ahead of me and two mill closures behind, school was the only answer. I chose the incredibly difficult profession of dental hygienist and entered the icy nightmare of becoming a college student. I used my experience as a hard worker and applied myself in this new direction to become a darn good student.After 1 ½ years of tough prerequisites I succeeded . . . almost. I was #21 in the program that admits 20 students. I am first alternate and will be guaranteed a position…..15 months from now. So, the new career is put on hold and I’m back to looking at the classified ads.The challenge of college has taught me I have flexibility and has given me confidence I can work at something other than plywood. I signed up with the temporary agencies and worked 6 jobs in as many months. The pay was minimum wage and the benefits even less. The work was heavy, hot and tedious. Some employers didn’t even allow temporary people use of the parking lot.I was working just as hard and not getting any of the advantages of a plywood job. If I wanted better wages and credit for my experience, I needed to return to what I know best, plywood.I added my name to the timber side of job preferences and received a call to start work in days. The night before, I loaded the old black plastic lunch box I thought was retired and gathered the other familiar gear. The leather apron, gloves and safety glasses are strangely close at hand.Within hours on the job I realized, “I’m back.” This is my comfort zone where my body knowingly conforms to the unbalanced, one-footed posture of a veneer patcher. My Raimann machine is a reincarnation where even the evil-spirited taper that never works is even the same.My co-workers are middle-aged and thick wasted, unlike the 18-year-olds of my recent work history. Break time brings conversation about re-loading ammunition and bragging about a new winch on an old truck. These are people who remember where they were when JFK died.The mill has a different name, but it’s like a time warp. My old Bronco is accustomed to a gravel parking lot. I was delighted in the new experiences of my other encounters, but I’m proud to be home again. When I walk in the store I know I wear the aromatic badge of a plywood worker when the clerk sniffs the air and comments, “I love the smell of wood. What mill do you work at?”The timber industry is intoxicating to the point of addiction. Apparently, you can take the woman out of the mill, but it may be impossible to take the mill out of the woman. I am good at this job and am petrified at the thought of thin latex gloves and sanitary smells. Sterile procedure and air conditioning is a long way from grease and sawdust.Then again, that hip that always hurts and the ever present sliver may encourage me to feel more impressed about my future. I have slid off the bark of old growth timber and landed in the parking lot of Last Chance College. (LCC-Lane Community College.)I’ve been through the metamorphosis of plywood worker, student and back. I think I’m ready for the genesis of a terrifying, agitating, hair-pulling, wonderful new career.I wanted to edit this so bad, but I also want to keep the flavor of those times. I did finish the dental hygiene program and worked another 11 years. I fell in love with my work and developed a unique down home way of communicating with my patience. Unfortunatly, the mill work done its damage to my body and after the second hip replacement I had to retire.Change is never easy but look what I gained by not stubbornly believing the mills would open again.

Should you teach English in Japan, mainland China, or Taiwan? There simply isn’t a one-size fits all answer to this because there are so many variables. I have lived in Asia for 20 years, and Japan for the last 15, so I’ve met and spoken to many, many people who’ve lived and worked in all 3 so I’ll give you my own thoughts, mainly on Japan.I love Japan. So much so that I married a Japanese woman, became a permanent resident and just bought my first house. Actually I had to become a PR in order to get the loan from the bank, but it still sounds cool…..Japan is just such an easy place to live in. How? Well let’s look at a few things:it’s safe. There’s almost no random street crime or shootings or stabbings like we see in the USA/UK/Australia etc these daysit’s cheap. Outside of central Tokyo/Osaka Japan is dirt cheap. My mortgage is $1,000/mo for a 4 bedroom house 5 minutes from the beach. Seriously. Food and restaurants are also dirt cheap outside of the central tourist areasthe cost of living outside of central cities means you can save wellThe exchange rate is pretty favourable right now if you want to send your savings homePeople don’t bother you. You can live as quiet an existence as you can possibly imagine. Neighbours are generally quiet and people keep to themselvesKids respect their elders. Manners still exist. You aren’t scared of teenagers walking towards you.Domestic travel on LCC is great if you want to see this amazing country.You can surf, snowboard, hike volcanoes, or trek through lush forests.Religion doesn’t really exist as in the West. Sure people say they’re Shinto, or Buddhist but it hardly permeates day to day life. And almost zero terrorism threat.There are green parks and big trees everywhere, even in central Tokyo. It’s easy to find nature and relax in beautifully manicured gardens and parks wherever you areKids’ schooling for toddlers and kindergarten is fricken amazing. From 12y.o onwards not so much but for young ones, unbeatable.As for China and Taiwan, I’ve been to both numerous times on holidays, but I wouldn’t like to live in either. That’s not to say they don’t have their great points - they do.But life is about balance. It’s not just about making money. Yes you could probably get some decent gigs in both countries but you’re only at work for so many hours a day. It’s really important that you can genuinely enjoy life outside of work and for me, Japan offers that way more than either Taiwan or China.I had no intention of living here in Japan for so long but the longer I was here I just saw how great it was in so many facets of life that I couldn’t see a reason to return to my native Australia.If you’re thinking of a long-term place, then definitely Japan. If you’re thinking of a 2–3 year adventure, all 3 of Japan, China or Taiwan would be fantastic.
