 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jessica Bidwell. These are your headlines from around the fleet. U.S. and Japan's self-defense forces wrapped up exercise Keen Sword off the coast of southern Japan November 19th. Nineteen ships and seven aircraft participated in large, joint-filled training exercises to increase combat readiness and teamwork between the two countries. Approximately 11,000 U.S. personnel participated in Keen Sword. The Navy Senior Enlisted Academy, or SEA, is expanding its delivery format to allow every senior chief petty officer to attend. After 2017, all senior chief petty officers will be required to attend SEA or other senior leadership academies prior to putting on Master Chief Petty Officer. This update aligns with CNO's vision of the Navy leader development strategy and MCPUN's focus on developing leaders.
