摘要：The Engineer Regiment has a reputation for the diversity of its jobs; one of its most distinctive jobs is the Army diving officer. One of the positions available to dive officer lieutenants is executive officer for Company A, 169th Engineer Battalion, U.S. Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC), Panama City, Florida. As the hub of military diving, NDSTC trains all skill levels of divers for many joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational (JIIM) partners. The opportunity to serve at the center provides many unique opportunities and challenges. Each year, more than 1,200 divers pass through the schoolhouse, an institution that provides unprecedented exposure to every facet of military diving. Divers from the U.S Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Coast Guard train at NDSTC; and despite sharing the common bond of service, each branch has a unique culture. The executive officer of Company A gets the rare opportunity to build relationships and gain useful experience working in a JIIM environment. At NDSTC, a junior officer can forge valuable relationships across the Department of Defense and other entities.
