The Role of the Company Officer at the United States Naval Academy
Abstract
This thesis is an exploratory study into the role of the Company Officer at the United States Naval Academy. Specifically, this thesis briefly documents the historic role of the Company Officer and further examines how the Company Officers from the 2000-2001 time frame perceive themselves either contributing or not contributing to the mission of the United States Naval Academy. The author conducted 30 questionnaires on the 30 Company Officers stationed at the Naval Academy during this period. In this questionnaire, the author specifically wanted to address the Company Officers' daily routines along with the Company Officers' perceptions on how they lead and mentor midshipmen. In addition, the author wanted to uncover some of the Company Officers greatest hindrances in the execution of their duties and their recommendations for improvement. The information gathered from the questionnaires enabled the researcher to glean four overall findings. Three of these findings discuss impediments to the Company Officer job, and the last finding addresses the overall perception Company Officers have about their job. Finally, the data retrieved from this study suggests that although the Company Officer billet is contributing to the overall mission of the United States Naval Academy, there is still room for improvement.
