Top Petty Officer of the Training (TPOT) Honor Wall

CAPT S. W. McCullough Leadership Award The CAPT S. W. McCullough Leadership Award is named for the founder of the modern Petty Officer Leadership Academy. CAPT McCullough started POLA in 1987 and has expanded as a nationwide course. POLA is also a requirement for all Naval Sea Cadets aspiring to attain the rank of Chief Petty Officer. The Top Petty Officer of the Training (T-POT) Award is given to the distinguished honor graduate of Petty Officer Leadership Academy, San Diego. In order to be selected as a T-POT candidate, the cadet must rank in the Top 15% within his or her class. This ranking is determined by daily quiz grades, a group presentation, a final exam, and the results of an academic oral board. Once the Top 15% are chosen, they each face a second oral board consisting of questions posed by the training staff and staff Chief Petty Officers. The highest scoring individual from the Honor Board is selected as the T-POT and awarded the NSCC Citation Ribbon.
