Guiding Principles of CO’s Standards
1) Your action or inaction directly impacts the safety of the crew and cutter. Set proper priorities and attend to them.
2) Let respect for the responsibility entrusted to you, and respect for your shipmates and yourself permeate every aspect of your watch.
3) Always look ahead so you are never caught unprepared. Rehearse what actions you would take in various evolutions or emergency situations.
4) Be present and attentive to what is happening around you, pay close attention to details and scrutinize them with curiosity, and constantly assess and manage risk. Never assume anything - question often and verify always.
5) Foster a sense of dignity, humility, hospitality, confidence, and diligence in your watchstanding.
6) Demand professionalism and proficiency and instruct the crew in these traits. Hone your judgement. Increase understanding of the personnel, equipment, policies and procedures needed to effectively operate FORWARD. Make it fun and rewarding.
7) Show grace under pressure and maintain a climate of open communication to allow watchstander observations to be voiced, heard, acknowledged, and understood.
