Bonding & Bridging Capitol

I am at about page 250 now. Shirkey has discussed the differences and benefits of Bonding Capitol and Bridging Capitol. Organizations who work hard to foster trust within the organization between current members are building bonding capitol. Bonding capitol is important in order to make operations more efficient within a company and allow the organization to function better because people are willing to work together. Bridging captiol consists of activities that build links between people and groups to grow/expand networks. Bridging capitol is important for the success of organizations because it expands resources.
As a 4/c, we work on creating creating bonding capitol between the classmates within our company. We are kind of confined to our own little box within the company because we are so focused on memorizing meals, keeping our uniform and room looking good, and struggling to adjust to the Academic workload.
As we progress through the Academy and become upperclass, our bonding capitol becomes rich among us and our classmates, even outside our company. Eventually, we start to create bridging captiol with the other classes here at the Academy, and with the officers here, our teachers, and resources outside of the Academy. We make connections with enlisted people and officers within the Cost Guard during our summer experiences. When we graduate as ensigns and begin our careers as officers, hopefully we have a lot of briding capitol. To be a successful officer, we will need to continue to build bridging captiol within the Coast Guard and bonding capitol with our crew.
