How are the Navy's core values integrated into ODS training?

The integration of the Navy's core values—honor, courage, and commitment—into Officer Development School (ODS) training is accomplished systematically throughout the entire curriculum. This approach ensures that these values are not just theoretical concepts but are woven into every aspect of training, influencing decision-making and behavior in both a personal and professional context. By embedding these principles throughout various learning modules, discussions, and practical exercises, ODS fosters a deep understanding of how these values serve as the foundation for leadership and service in the Navy.

Additionally, focusing on these core values creates a cohesive and unified environment among trainees, allowing them to develop a shared sense of purpose and responsibility. This comprehensive method stands in contrast to more limited approaches, such as addressing these values only in specific settings like physical training or external projects. The aim is to cultivate future leaders who embody and exemplify these ideals in every facet of their naval careers.
