Transcription
Currently I work at Walter Reed Bethesda and I'm a social work intern getting my two-year clinical supervision. We do five-month rotations in different clinics. And currently I'm working in psychiatric consultation liaison services which really means that we're working with inpatient wounded warriors and their families, and it's very exciting and fulfilling work. Before me, the way the Navy developed social workers is they'd take them from the civilian world, commission them, and then they'd be a Navy social worker. My story was a little bit different. I went to my re-designation officer and asked if there was anything I could do for the Navy in the mental health field. And he found out that the Navy was interested in creating social workers. They trained me while I was in the Navy to be a social worker. So I'm the first one they've ever done that with and everybody's following in my footsteps. There are so many benefits that come from being in the Navy. There's financial benefits, healthcare benefits, education benefits. Part of being a social worker is you're required to have continuing education units. And in the Navy they are offered practically nonstop and most of them free of charge. So you really can't beat all those benefits and the availability that the Navy provides to you for your education and your continuing education. I wanted to be in the Navy since I was 13 years old. My family is very patriotic, very supportive of this country. When I told them that I wanted to be in the Navy, they couldn't have been more proud. To know that I'm giving back to those who serve or who have served before me is very important. I'm Lieutenant JG Samantha Penny. I'm a social worker in the United States Navy.

Lieutenant (junior grade), commonly abbreviated as LTJG or, historically, Lt. (j.g.) (as well as variants of both abbreviations), is a junior commissioned officer rank of the United States Navy, the United States Coast Guard, the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps (NOAA Corps). LTJG has a US military pay grade of O-2,[1][2] and a NATO rank code of OF-1. The rank is also used in the United States Maritime Service. The NOAA Corps's predecessors, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Corps (1917–1965) and the Environmental Science Services Administration Corps or ESSA Corps (1965–1970), also used the rank.
Lieutenant (junior grade) ranks above ensign and below lieutenant and is equivalent to a first lieutenant in the other uniformed services (the Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force) and sub-lieutenant in the Royal Navy and the navies of many Commonwealth countries.
Promotion to LTJG is governed by Department of Defense policies derived from the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act of 1980. DOPMA guidelines suggest all "fully qualified" ensigns should be promoted to LTJG. The time for promotion to LTJG is a minimum of two years after commissioning in the Navy or 18 months in the Coast Guard. Lieutenants, junior grade typically lead petty officers and non-rated personnel, unless assigned to small aircraft or on staff duty. A LTJG's usual shipboard billet is as a division officer.
Lieutenant, junior grade is often referred to colloquially as JG. Prior to March 3, 1883, this rank was known in the U.S. Navy as master.[3]
