MILLINGTON, Tenn. – Ensign William Bradley Moore, a native of San Diego, California, will graduate from the U.S. Navy’s Limited Duty Officer/Warrant Officer/Chief Warrant Officer (LDO/WO/CWO) Academy on Jan. 31.
Bradley Moore, a 2010 graduate of Serra High School, joined the Navy 12 years ago.
“I joined the Navy to provide for my family and obtain a career with the potential to retire,” Bradley Moore said. “I wanted to build a better financial future for my children and their children.”
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in San Diego.
“Growing up, I was exposed to a very diverse group of people and that allowed me to see different cultures and ways of life,” Bradley Moore said. “My challenges and successes as well as those I’ve seen taught me the value of hard work and having pride.”
The LDO/WO/CWO Academy is one of four officer accession programs operating at Officer Training Command Newport (OTCN) Newport, Rhode Island. The academy prepares officers to become effective leaders by developing fundamental skills in leadership, written and oral communication, career management and administration.
Before starting at the academy, Bradley Moore was an enlisted chief petty officer serving as a nuclear power electronics technician. After graduation, Bradley Moore will serve as an officer aboard USS John C. Stennis, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier currently in Newport News Shipbuilding conducting Refueling and Complex Overhaul to prepare the ship for the second half of its 50-year service life.
“I believe this course sets me up to understand the dynamics of the ranks I’m joining,” Bradley Moore said. “I’m learning how to use my strengths and experiences in both a personal and professional way.”
The U.S. Navy is celebrating its 250th birthday this year.
According to Navy officials, “America is a maritime nation and for 250 years, America’s Warfighting Navy has sailed the globe in defense of freedom.”
With 90% of global commerce traveling by sea and access to the internet relying on the security of undersea fiber optic cables, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity of the United States is directly linked to recruiting and retaining talented people from across the rich fabric of America.

Bradley Moore has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service.
“I’m most proud of my progress from someone without confidence or a desire to be promoted to being a chief and now an officer,” Bradley Moore said. “I never saw myself getting to this point in life.”
As Bradley Moore and other sailors continue to train and perform missions, they take pride in serving their country in the U.S. Navy.
