Why has there never been a minority Master Chief Petty Officer of the navy?

Virtually all MCPON candidates have nearly 30 years of service in the Navy. Simply put, the pool is pretty small to begin with, and there is no "affirmative action" in the Navy. You get selected based on Time in Service, Rank, Education, and Navy background.

The same is true in the officer ranks, though there are many minorities in top officer jobs. As an example, I was privileged to work for Admiral Mack Gaston, ACNO (SW) at the Pentagon, and one of the finest naval officers I was ever privileged to work with.

What are your career options in the U.S. Navy?

The U.S. Navy has by far the most career options of any of the military branches. It includes all elements of warfare - Aviation, Ships, Submarines, Land, Space, and even its own Special Forces. No one (myself included) that I know of who has ever left the Navy has ever had a problem with their career choices after leaving. If you're curious, you can look at my Supervisor Bio and it'll show you where my Naval career took me.

Even a Navy Cook is trained to such a degree that many old friends of mine are now successful Restaurant owners, Chefs, etc.

Your career path/choices are determined by your overall ASVAB score - I was fortunate enough to score high so that I could pick whatever I wanted. It's important that you study for this test in order to do well and have your choice available, but remember also that careers are given in order of force requirements first, your choice second. But recruiters do their best to make people happy, so only a small percentage (usually those who don't score very well) are given careers they didn't choose, or opted to enter through a non-career path to decide later.

You can view the current Navy Careers on the Navy's Recruiting site - the link is below. It will give you a list of current Jobs and the corresponding civilian career.

Something else to consider - all Veterans are given hiring preferences for Government jobs, and also for civilian jobs by Federal Law. Also, virtually all technical careers in the Navy or military require an active Security Clearance; it cost a lot of money for the Government to do a background investigation. This is why those with prior clearances are always hired over those that don't by civilian contractors - they don't have to pay for a BI if the contract requires that workers have clearance, as it's already been done by the Government.

The main purposes of an airspeed indicator in an aircraft?

The primary purpose of an airspeed indicator in an aircraft is to give the pilot some sense of how fast the aircraft is moving. A pitot tube, which is a forward pointing hollow tube that is mounted on the plane, is pressurized by the force of the air the plane encounters as it flies. This air pressure is compared to a static reference, and the difference is proportional to the airspeed. The faster the plane moves, the higher the pressure in the pitot tube, and the greater the difference between that and the reference. All that will result in higher indicated air speed. There are some issues associated with the accuracy of the system (like when the plane is flying into a headwind), and information on that and more detail in general can be found by using the link to Wikipedia. The pictures are informative, and a reader can pick up a handful of specialized terms relating to the device and the principles upon which it operates.

Answer

The airspeed indicator provides the pilot with an indication of relative airspeed -- or how fast the aircraft is moving relative to the air in which it is flying. This is important to a pilot because it is relative airspeed that affects the performance of the airplane. If airspeed gets too low, the plane will stall; if airspeed gets too high, the plane will suffer structural damage/failure. By monitoring airspeed, and making necessary control adjustments, a pilot ensures that the airplane performs as designed. Fortunately, aircraft are designed -- and pilots are trained -- such that these extreme cases are routinely avoidable.
