Responsibility

The Navy teaches that accepting responsibility also means accepting accountability for your actions. Hence the Navy’s Zero Tolerance for Drugs policy. Your performance in carrying out your duties can have a direct impact not only on yourself, but also on your fellow Sailors, your ship or station, or your mission. By instilling a sense of duty and purpose in you, the Navy helps you develop a quality that will serve you well in all aspects of life.

As you advance in the Navy, you will take on new levels of responsibility. You will find yourself in positions of authority where others are counting on you for guidance and direction, and you will have to think and act with the welfare of your fellow Sailors and your duty to the Navy and your country in mind.

While the discipline and rigors of Navy life may seem foreign at first, you will quickly learn that you have reserves of strength and willpower that you’ve never had to tap before. The Navy helps you discover and embrace this mental fortitude to build your confidence and master your duties and responsibilities.
