Enlisted to Navy Officer: How To Become A Navy Clinical Social Worker | Bravo Zulu

Описание: Twelve years ago, Alexis stepped onto the decks of USS Rushmore as an undesigned Fireman (FN), learning the fleet from the ground level, doing the work, and building the foundation the hard way. Since then, her path has taken her through major transitions: earning ratings, continuing to serve, investing in her education, and ultimately answering a calling that blended military service + clinical care.
Today, LTJG Alexis Becks serves on active duty as a Clinical Social Worker, bringing real fleet experience into the spaces where Sailors need it most. In this conversation, we talk about the “therapy language” that’s everywhere right now, what it actually means, what helps, what doesn’t, and why the human side of leadership still matters. We also swap sea stories from earlier commands and break down the steps, setbacks, and decisions that shaped her journey from enlisted to commissioned officer.
What drives Alexis is simple and rare: a commitment to service. She shows up every day as a servant leader, focused on helping others navigate hard seasons, build resilience, and heal without losing who they are.
If you’re enlisted, a veteran, considering a commission, or just trying to figure out your next chapter, this episode is for you.
