Strength of Temperance and USN FITREP
Abstract
This thesis commenced with a meticulous exploration of temperance, employing the well-structured VIA framework developed by Peterson and Seligman. This framework provided a systematic approach to understanding the character strengths associated with temperance. To contextualize these virtues within the military sphere, I conducted a comprehensive comparative analysis among academic literature, Navy doctrine, and the fitness report (FITREP) performance traits. This analytical approach allowed me to determine the extent to which these essential character strengths are acknowledged and integrated into military leadership. By comparing findings from academic studies, official Navy documents, and performance evaluation criteria, I was able to identify gaps, paving the way for the exploration of how temperance-related character strengths can be better incorporated into the Navy's leadership standard. This methodical examination not only shed slight on the existing landscape but also serves as a foundation for advocating for the enhancement of military leadership by aligning it more closely with the character strengths of temperance.
