Shipmates, I’m Vice Adm. John Mustin, Chief of Navy Reserve and Commander, Navy Reserve Force. Today, I want to address a very serious issue: Extremism in our ranks. Make no mistake: extremist behaviors have no place in our Navy or our Navy Reserve. But I can’t ignore its existence in our military. Sadly, recent events have demonstrated we have work to do. Our core values: honor, courage and commitment… are our guideposts and I expect each of you to embrace, lead and live by those values EVERY day…

Naval Surface Force Atlantic, (SURFLANT), leaders, medical personnel and religious program specialists recently received training about the Navy’s Expanded Operational Stress Control (E-OSC) program from the Naval Center for Combat and Operational Stress Control (NCCOSC).
“There was interest among our group in offering E-OSC training units on a rotational basis,” said Cmdr. Jeffrey Quinn, a SURFLANT Ministry Center training coordinator. “The structure of the program makes it very flexible, so you don’t have to sit everyone down for hours on end to complete it. I think we’ll see a lot of ideas for implementation grow once the program is rolled out.”
Included in the training were sections about Combat and Operational Stress First Aid, which is a multi-step process for assessing and caring for Sailors suffering from psychological stress injuries, and the implementation of Buddy Care and Unit Assessment, which are intervention tools used to assess individuals/units during times of stress. The instruction also focused on use of the “Stress-o-Meter”, is a web-based tool that collects subjective information based on the Stress Continuum and creates a “dashboard” for command leadership to develop an understanding and tracking of staff stress levels.
The multi-faceted, virtual training joined east and west coast trainees and consisted of how to build resilience; to identify, engage and intervene Sailors who are suffering from stress-related injuries; and to create a command environment that is conducive to dealing with operational stress.
