Ready to talk about Respect?

We’ve split Respect into three groups based on early input: Respect for People, Foster Belonging and Community, Protect and Care for Others. Does this resonate with you? Pick one or all of these activities to continue strengthening our Service culture.  

What’s Your Take

Give us your personal spin on Respect. We’re not looking for dictionary definitions here - we want to know what Respect means to YOU. 

Acrostic

Bring on the creativity. We're talking acrostics - you know, those cool poems where the first letters spell out a word. Ready to flex those wordsmith muscles?  Make a R-E-S-P-E-C-T acrostic. 

My Journey

Let’s chart your Respect journey! Where did you start, where are you now, and where are you headed? Complete three statements about your personal evolution with Respect.

Rank Values

It's time to play favorites with our Respect values. We want to know which ones you think are the real MVPs when it comes to our mission and culture.

Highs and Lows

Let’s have some real talk about Respect! Share two brief stories: one about someone who showed you what true Respect looks like, and another about a time when you witnessed a serious lack of Respect. 

My Daily Drill

We talk about Respect, but how do we walk the walk? Time to spotlight your personal Respect routines. Tell us about three specific ways you practice Respect in your daily Coast Guard life.
