16 THE NAVY S RESERVE P38 16

17 P38 Reserve Manpower Since the Navy doesn t have a research- technical career path, Program 38 draws talent from all 1xxx designators. Program 38 recruits officers with advanced technical degrees and relevant military and/or civilian S&T experience in areas that align to command directed S&T focus areas. ONR has over 200 Navy Reservists, with the largest concentranon of uniformed PhDs in the US Navy. Every year, each Reservist has funding for: 14 to 17 days Annual Training (AT) including travel, 48 drill periods of 4+ hours, AddiNonal man- days as budget permits. 17

31 Responding to the S&T Environment Is there emerging S&T that we are missing? Is there an S&T acceleranon or breakthrough not obvious in our own research? Has a previously disregarded path of exploranon started to show new merit or generate interest in other countries and do we understand why? Are we on the path to develop the technology/capability first and how do we know? Where is there work occurring in counters to our new technology developments? If change is happening on the outside faster than on the inside the end is in sight. JACK WELCH Welch, Jack and John A. Burne. Jack: Straight from the Gut. New York: Business Plus,
