The Navy opted to take advantage of my background in computing to assign me to OPNAV N16, the Directorate within the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) responsible for all of the Navy's Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education (MPTE) IT. In this assignment I'll be tasked with helping advance the ongoing effort (launched in earnest in 2015 as part of "Sailor 2025") to advance the Navy's HR Information Systems out of the COBOL stone age.As the prospective IT Requirements Officer for Data, Cloud, and Enterprise Support requirements, I'll be responsible for working within the DoD and Navy acquisition/contracting system to help set functional requirements specific enough so that we will still be able to accomplish our specific Navy HR needs, using a modern "cloud-first" operations model, but without being so specific that we end up buying $1,000 "space pens" where $0.10 pencils would have sufficed.
