He recently published a book, Carrier to Classroom, Transferring military skills into a career in education. Photographed in front of the DMA, Wilmington, Delaware.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing like love to make you understand the value of education. That\u2019s the lesson Chuck Baldwin took away from courting his wife \u2014 one of many lessons gleaned from a life that brought him success in the Navy, followed by a second and equally successful career as a school teacher, founder and administrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baldwin was in the early stages of the quarter-century he spent in the Navy when his duties took him to the island of Sardinia, Italy, to run recreational services at the base. There he met a young girl, Savatarica \u201cRica\u201d Nieddu, who worked in the hotel where he was living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Says Baldwin: \u201cIt was love at first sight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there was one problem (well, actually, two): She didn\u2019t speak English and he didn\u2019t speak Italian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe would watch TV in the lobby, and I would try to learn Italian,\u201d he says. \u201cWithin six months, I was fluent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He proposed \u2014 in Italian \u2014 and a traditional two-day wedding followed. Soon after, the newlyweds left for Baldwin\u2019s next assignment, at Great Lakes Naval Training Base in North Chicago, and embarked on 43 years (and counting) of marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back, Baldwin says, \u201cThat\u2019s when I learned the importance of education.\u201d He explains that he had taken Latin in high school, but didn\u2019t think he \u201chad learned anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut for some reason,\u201d he says, \u201cwhen I heard an Italian word, to me it sounded right.\u201d He\u2019s suspects that his grounding in Latin helped him learn his new bride\u2019s language, which is descended from Latin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo this day,\u201d he says, \u201cI still call a tree an albero.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was this new-found appreciation for learning that would eventually lead Baldwin to become an educator \u2014 a career he calls even more satisfying than his very successful 25 years in the Navy. What\u2019s more, he has captured the knowledge he gained from both those careers in his new book, \u201cCarrier to Classroom,\u201d which is aimed at military veterans, encouraging them to go into education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Achieving success in two major endeavors is not something the young Charles W. Baldwin would have predicted for himself. Growing up in Kankakee, Illinois, one of Cyril and Gertrude Baldwin\u2019s three children, he was an admittedly average student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn school, I was an extremely good follower and a fair Number 2 guy, but never the leader,\u201d he writes in his book. \u201cMy skill at plausible deniability was acquired very young. Just spelling leadership was a challenge, let alone understanding all it entailed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His father had served in the Navy before World War II and in the Merchant Marine during the war. Chuck chose a similar path, leaving for Navy basic training after graduating from Kankakee\u2019s Eastridge High School in 1968. He quickly adapted to the life of a sailor, and became that which he had not been in high school \u2014 a leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After basic training, he did a 13-month tour in Vietnam, where he helped train Vietnamese sailors. Somewhat to his surprise, he found that he had an ability to communicate with and teach young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaybe it\u2019s because I never grew up,\u201d says Baldwin, \u201cbut I developed a rapport with them and became excited each day to work as well as learn in their company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_560bf8-6c, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_560bf8-6c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1776_560bf8-6c\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_560bf8-6c mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_560bf8-6c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1776_560bf8-6c\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_560bf8-6c img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_560bf8-6c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1776_560bf8-6c\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1776_560bf8-6c wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1776_560bf8-6c\">Enter The Ike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other postings followed, including his fateful service in Italy, and another in 1988 to the Philadelphia Navy Yard, which led to his family (which, by then, included daughter Antonella and son William) moving to Delaware. He steadily climbed the ranks until he became a command master chief, the highest rank among Navy enlisted personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He truly came into his own in 1990 when he was assigned to the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower \u2014 \u201cThe Ike\u201d to the sailors who manned her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As command master chief, Baldwin says, \u201cI was the commanding officer\u2019s senior enlisted advisor and represented the crew in all matters related to discipline, morale and training. All 3,200 enlisted troops were my direct responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His three years aboard The Ike were perhaps the most enjoyable, meaningful and educational of all his Navy assignments. The ship, home base to 82 aircraft, went on several maneuvers, including six months in the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Desert Storm during the Iraq war. As a result of that duty, Baldwin received the Meritorious Service Medal in 1992, and he was honored as one of four finalists for the Navy\u2019s top enlisted post of Master Chief of the Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his Ike years, he also developed many of the theories of leadership outlined in his book. The second chapter, for instance, is titled \u201cGood Shoes,\u201d which are necessary for \u201cmanagement by walking around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMBWA is a tool that has been discussed and used in the corporate world for years,\u201d writes Baldwin. \u201cIt means you must get up from your desk and be seen in order to gain knowledge of your business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also developed MAP, an acronym for Moral, Academic and Physical \u2014 a program of personal development. It asks participants \u2014 whether sailors or students \u2014 to complete a daily task in each of those three areas. \u201cMorally,\u201d Baldwin writes in his book, \u201cthe task could be something as simple as taking out the trash, or as involved as a community service project. Academically, you may read a book or an article, view a documentary, attend a lecture. And physically, you can play catch, go for a run. Or, when a commercial comes on, instead of eating a Twinkie, do 10 pushups.\u201d He calls it \u201cmapping your day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide wu-blockquote-row is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote wu-blockquote-simple is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Baldwin retired from the Navy in 1993 and almost immediately launched his second career \u2014 in education. \u201cI loved it right away,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>He became associate Naval Science instructor with the Seaford School District in southern Delaware, where he established the first Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps in the state. He followed that by creating a second unit, at the request of the Navy, at Christiana High School in New Castle County. His work there earned him the district\u2019s Citizenship Award in 1997 and Teacher of the Year in 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His Navy experience and rank allowed him to teach NJROTC without a college degree, but over the years he had taken courses from the Navy, at the University of Maryland and the University of Delaware, and in 1995 he received his bachelor\u2019s degree in Sociology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While he loved teaching, he had his own ideas about how to run a school, so with the thought of moving into administration, immediately after receiving his bachelor\u2019s he enrolled in the master\u2019s in Education program at what was then Wilmington College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He got the degree in less than two years, thanks in part to an intense summer program in which he took four courses over a four-week period, attending classes for eight hours a day and doing eight hours of homework at night. \u201cThat was hell on earth,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But well worth it. \u201cI got a quality education at Wilmington from outstanding instructors. And I know good instructors,\u201d he adds. \u201cI took courses at the Navy Senior Enlisted Academy (in Newport, Rhode Island) and the Navy has some of the best instructors around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baldwin singles out the leadership class of Dr. James Nardozzi, an adjunct at WilmU for 35 years who retired in 2011. \u201cI still quote some of the things he told us,\u201d says Baldwin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Nardozzi returns the compliment. Although it\u2019s been nearly 20 years since he taught Baldwin, he remembers him well. \u201cHe was a great guy, interacting with everyone, and he just exuded leadership. I\u2019m not surprised at the success he\u2019s had. I\u2019ve talked to several of his students, and they all speak highly of him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Robert Rescigno, dean of the College of Business, has worked on several charter school initiatives with Baldwin. \u201cChuck works hard, and he\u2019s very committed to public education and to students,\u201d says Dr. Rescigno. \u201cHe\u2019s always done the right thing for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The charter school phase of Baldwin\u2019s career began with the Delaware Military Academy, an idea hatched at a 2001 Fourth of July cookout at the home of Lt. Col. Jack Wintermantel, an Army friend of many years and close associate during Baldwin\u2019s tenure as a JROTC instructor. Baldwin had recently become principal of Kirk Middle School in Newark, Delaware, and he began talking to Wintermantel about his work.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_05a11f-cb, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_05a11f-cb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1776_05a11f-cb\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_05a11f-cb mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_05a11f-cb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1776_05a11f-cb\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_05a11f-cb img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1776_05a11f-cb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1776_05a11f-cb\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading1776_05a11f-cb wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1776_05a11f-cb\">DMA Is Born<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were both lamenting the state of education and the need for more JROTCs and military schools in general,\u201d Baldwin writes. \u201cMy concern with military schools was that they were so expensive to attend and most of the students were not military. A tuition-free charter military school open to young women and men who desire to attend based upon military interest would be a great idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wintermantel agreed, and the two men began planning the school. Baldwin, who in addition to his duties at Kirk, was director of Logistics for the Delaware National Guard, resigned from both positions and devoted full-time to finding the land, the funding, faculty and students for the new school. The colonel joined him a few months later, and in the fall of 2003 they opened DMA as a public charter school with 300 cadets in grades 9 and 10, with plans to increase enrollment and add 11th and 12th grades in subsequent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, DMA is the largest NJROTC full-time program in the U.S. Navy, with an enrollment of 584 cadets in grades 9-12. There are more than 200 on the waiting list each year. Academically, it\u2019s in the top tier of Delaware public high schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As commandant of the school, Baldwin blossomed. He and the cadets shared a mutual respect and affection that\u2019s rare for administrators and student bodies. With his ability to relate to young people, he was able to convey to the cadets the Navy values of honor, courage and commitment, which he adhered to in both his professional and personal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents were fans of the school too. In \u201cCarrier to Classroom,\u201d Baldwin tells the story of the time a student tripped and put his elbow through the drywall. \u201cHaving no money to repair the hole,\u201d Baldwin writes, \u201cI sent out a plea to my parents, asking if they knew anyone who could fix the wall for no cost. Within an hour, four contractors arrived to repair the damage. Gosh, I loved that school!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baldwin helped establish other JROTC units in Delaware, and today there are more than 750 young men and women in those units. For his efforts, he was awarded the Delaware Distinguished Service Medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stayed at DMA until 2011, when he became principal of the Charter School of Wilmington. He retired from there two years later, and today he serves on several youth leadership programs and on the Delaware Commission of Veteran Affairs, representing Vietnam veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He and Rica spend most of the year in their long-time home in the Wilmington suburbs and travel back to their second home in her native Sardinia during the summer. His ties to the Navy remain strong. Son-in-law Anthony Pullella is now commandant of DMA, and son William is a division commander at the Naval Recruit Training Center in Great Lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Baldwin has helped send 25 midshipmen to the Naval Academy, and he continues to mentor others who have expressed interest in the academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But sometimes he reminisces about his days as a teacher and administrator. \u201cI miss the interaction with the students and faculty,\u201d he says, \u201cand working in an environment where \u2018aha moments\u2019 are the order of the day.\u201d WU<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To get a glimpse of some of those aha moments, get your copy of \u201cCarrier to Classroom,\u201d available on Amazon.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2013 &nbsp;Bob Yearick<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This alumnus learned the value of education in the Navy, then co-founded the Delaware Military Academy.\u00a0 There\u2019s nothing like love to make you understand the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[145,135],"tags":[660,656],"class_list":["post-1776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alumni-news","category-magazine","tag-delaware-military-academy","tag-magazine-fall-2017"],"acf":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":145,"label":"ALUMNI NEWS"},{"value":135,"label":"MAGAZINE"}],"post_tag":[{"value":660,"label":"Delaware Military Academy"},{"value":656,"label":"Magazine Fall 2017"}]},"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"Rachel Marchione","author_link":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/author\/rachel\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":145,"name":"ALUMNI NEWS","slug":"alumni-news","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":702,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":113,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":145,"category_count":113,"category_description":"","cat_name":"ALUMNI NEWS","category_nicename":"alumni-news","category_parent":0},{"term_id":135,"name":"MAGAZINE","slug":"magazine","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":692,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":431,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":135,"category_count":431,"category_description":"","cat_name":"MAGAZINE","category_nicename":"magazine","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":660,"name":"Delaware Military Academy","slug":"delaware-military-academy","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1217,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":656,"name":"Magazine Fall 2017","slug":"magazine-fall-2017","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1213,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":24,"filter":"raw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1776"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16455,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776\/revisions\/16455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
