Cmdr. Jonathan Calhoun, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2022\/05\/27\/navy-releases-promotion-quotas-for-reserve-petty-officers-and-its-good-news\/\" target=\"_blank\">reservist<\/a> assigned to U.S. Fleet Forces Command\u2019s Maritime Operations Center in Norfolk, Virginia, as he completed a mobilization exercise earlier this year and was inundated with the required paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calhoun said his new idea to this old problem involves sailors completing documents and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2014\/09\/29\/navy-times-unveils-new-mobile-app-monthly-subscription-model\/\" target=\"_blank\">requirements through an app<\/a> that pre-populates information through their mobile phones so that they aren\u2019t spending time filling out repetitive information like name, rank, and address by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pre-populating that information also reduces the likelihood of errors, Calhoun noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt would save a significant amount of time, and what could take up to a full week to get done could be completed within just a few hours,\u201d Calhoun told Navy Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs soon as they show up to their Navy Reserve Center for mobilization, all of the information is already completed, verified and validated, as opposed to having to complete multiple different forms from scratch,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2017\/03\/20\/navy-launches-a-locker-app-that-houses-all-your-navy-apps-in-one-place\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635927115334339676-trngjpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Navy launches a &#8216;locker&#8217; app that houses all your Navy apps in one place<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Navy App Locker is available to sailors, civilians and family members.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calhoun\u2019s idea, called \u201cLeveraging Mobile Technology to Streamline Mobilization,\u201d won the i3 Waypoints program last month, a new competition that Chief of Navy Reserve Vice Adm. John Mustin established so sailors could share ideas with top Navy leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are already moving out on the design for Lt. Cdr. Calhoun\u2019s mobile application,\u201d Mustin said in a Navy news release last week. \u201cHis idea to add mobile technology to our distributed activation process helps us achieve our goal of mobilizing the entire Selected Reserve force of 50,000 in 30 days, if required.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The i3 Waypoints program \u2014a name based on innovating something new, improving an existing program, or integrating several concepts \u2014 received a total of 107 submissions over the course of a five-week period, and the competition will proceed as an annual event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith such an enthusiastic response from the force, and so many great ideas to modernize the way we do business, we saw enough in this inaugural event to commit to making i3 Waypoints an annual program,\u201d Mustin said. \u201cVery little is more important to us than keeping the direct pipeline open for creative ideas to flow to top leadership without filter or disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calhoun, who served five years active-duty and eight years in the Reserves, said he would encourage others who\u2019ve thought of concepts to improve the Navy to make their voices heard because leadership was receptive to the presentations exhibited at the i3 Waypoints competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think coming out of this process, I\u2019ll definitely encourage others \u2014 if you have an idea, speak up, because leadership is willing and eager to listen,\u201d Calhoun said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An app invented by reserve Lt.
