Lord Noah S. Turnet (April 22, 1989 - present), former 6-star admiral, Admiral of the Navy, and Chief of Naval Operations for the Vinish Navy, influencer, businessman, traveler, and the President and CEO of the Vinish National Red Cross.

Turnet played a major role in naval history as the Commander of the Vinish First Fleet and the Commander of Security Forces, commanding air, land, and sea forces during war times. Turnet was the leading Vinish Naval authority and is the founding father of the Department of the Navy in the Vinish Department of Defense. He soon developed it into what you see now as the Vinish Navy. He was the first Vinish citizen of Asian descent to command the first naval fleet of the Vinish Navy and was the highest-ranking Vinish citizen of Filipino descent in the Vinish military during his time as commander.

Born in the Philippines, his family moved to Vindex and stayed in the state of Viridis, Turnet grew up in town of Seawall, where he attended local public schools. He is also the first and only 5-star admiral in the Vinish Navy (Fleet Admiral).

Early Life and Education

The Great Seal of the Philippines

Turnet, a Vinish-Filipino, was born the son of Jessica Aquino Turnet and Andrew Fotunata Turnet on April 22, 1989, in Santo Domingo, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. He was significantly influenced by his Filipino-born paternal grandfather, Henry Turnet, a former captain in the Philippine Marine Corps, who taught him, "the sea is like a raging monster waiting to be tamed. It looks onward to seek one who is capable of taming it – awaiting its opponent. Be brave and stand up to fear to stand in front of the beast and show it your integrity to make this world better."

Immigration

The Great Seal of the State of Viridis

Lord Turnet immigrated with his family from the Philippines to Vindex in the year of 2013 to seek a new perspective, with the coming of his 24 years in the year of 2013. The official date they immigrated was the 17th of December in the year of 2013. His family and himself gained Vinish citizenship a few months after arriving and completing the necessary documents to have their permanent residency visas and status changed to Vinish citizen status.

Education

Turnet, with the ambition to excel in his studies, attended Seawall College in January of 2013, entering as an Engineering major. During his junior year, he was introduced to the healthcare system by volunteering at the VN General Hospital in Downtown Vindex City. Upon his service as a volunteer in the Emergency Department, Turnet wanted to double major in Health Science. He completed his General Education (Gen Ed) requirements by his Junior year and was quickly moving through the university system. Since he was double majoring, his time was extended by another quarter, though, this was not tough for him since he is quick to act on assignments and projects. He soon graduated from the University of Vindex in May of 2015 and was UV's first Summa Cum Laude, earning a 4.3 GPA on his overall higher education journey, though he has achieved the 4.0 status in his earlier educational journey.

Upon completion of his his Bachelor of Science in Health Science degree, he later pursued a Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MPEN) at the Viridis State University (VSU) to get his Master's of Science in Nursing. This program enabled him to receive both the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) and the Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.), making him qualified to take the state's exam for the licenses for Registered Nurses (RNs), National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Upon receiving his RN license, he decided to pursue a higher level degree at an accelerated pace, the Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Nursing Practice doctorate degree.

Civilian Life (Pre-Military)

Health & Human Services

After graduating from the VSU, using his newly attained Doctorate of Nursing Practice, Turnet pursued a career as a Doctor in the Vinish Health & Human Services Department. There he had saved countless lives, cured multiple various diseases, mentored future medical professionals, and at one point became the spokesperson for the medical field as his advancements in medications and treatments were, at the time, exceptional and world-class.

Vinish Police Department

After a life serving the public as a Doctor for a year, he enlisted in the Vinish Police Department, the largest operating law enforcement in the state of Viridis under the Department of Justice. He started at the police academy where he was initiated into the Police Department. He once rose to the newly added ranks and was recommended by the Police Chief of the time, AlphaSlii_x, to be promoted to Sergeant in mid-2016. During his years as a sergeant, he decided to work his magic in the investigative field and started pursuing a job as a Detective.

Guiness Corporations

Established in the summer of 2015, Guiness Corporations (or Guiness Corps, Gui Corps, or G-Corps) was a business model by Lord Turnet. This business strived to provide the highest level of customer service while providing the highest quality of services. Gui Corps is the parent company to many businesses like the Guiness World Records, a World Records company showcasing the talent of the world.

Gui Corps would soon partner with Triple G Enterprises, a bar, and social business. The company would support Triple G in its endeavors and would provide hospitality services for them during parties, social gatherings, and corporate events. This put Gui Corps in the public spotlight by partnering with the then-largest business in the nation.

VPD Coast Guard

He was a detective for some time solving crimes and murders until the Vinish Coast Guard (VPD-CG, VCG or CG) - a division in the Vinish Department of Justice - had an opening in January of 2016. He decided to give it a try as a Sergeant and took to the waters. A few months in, Turnet became the most senior and elite captain and became the lead officer of the fleet.

After his years in the Coast Guard division, Turnet, once again, pursued a career in the medical field and acquired space for his private practice at the national hospital located in the downtown area of Vindex City. Afterward, a new opportunity mid-2016 came up with the creation of the Vinish Navy, in which he assisted himself and decided to pursue that career, one that he so wanted to achieve.

Military Career

With his experience in the Vinish Police Department in the Vinish Coast Guard division, Turnet decided to pursue a career in the military, hence the creation of a new branch, the Vinish Navy, under his supervision and leadership where he founded, led, and enhanced.

Creation of the Vinish Navy

The creation of the Department of the Navy came about July 26th, 2016 when three people, which were Xtreme__, Supreme Commander Phillip Zachary, and GuinessGeneral, had an idea and pitched it to the President at the time, President Christian Silversmith (dragon_12dk). The four players met on an existing but inoperable carrier owned by CollinHH himself, which is the first unofficial ship of the Vinish Navy and took on the name of the VS CollinHH (CV 1).

From that meeting, ranks, jobs, potential vessels, and the missions and visions were thought up and hence the Vinish Navy emerged. In the beginning, starting with only a few ranks, then adding on the ranks of Chief Petty Officer, Senior Chief Petty Officer, Master Chief Petty Officer; the jobs of the Bureau of Medicine, the Center for Security Forces, Naval Construction Groups, Naval Aviators, and Recruit Division Commanders; and the mission and values of that of the United States Navy.

It was then decided that Turnet would lead in the creation and organization of the new branch of the military, overseeing its growth, expansion, and creation. Turnet also assisted in their first naval base known now in history as Naval Base Pearl Harbor.

Upon months of strategic command and various leadership roles, Turnet established and attained the rank of the first Admiral of the Navy (O-11, AN) and the title and role of Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) for the Vinish Navy on September 28, 2016.

Turnet then established the first ship, an Intrepid-class aircraft carrier, the VS Expedition (CVN 2) as Commander, Commander at the time due to limitations on ranks during the time. Turnet assisted with Operation Sea Storm on June 14, 2017. His assignments were to look on for intel on the rebellion and assist his assigned XO, or executive officer, to the new ship with day-to-day operations on the ship, personnel assignments, ship security, and operations. His staff assignments on top of his normal duties included duty in the surface defense division on the Chief of Naval Operations staff; naval aide to the President; prospective commanding officer instructor for Commander, Naval Construction Group One, NB Pearl Harbor; and director of Strategy and Policy at Vinish Naval Intelligence Agency.

Civilian Career (Post-Military)

Retirement

Around the end of 2018, December 17, 2018, Admiral of the Navy Noah S. Turnet stepped down from office and his position. During this transition, the Secretary of Defense was left to find a person who could fit the "big shoes" that Lord Turnet left for his successor.

A few months prior his retirement, Turnet founded the Vinish National Red Cross (VNRC) and became its very first President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). With this creation of another historic and memorable organization, Lord Turnet would want to present the nation with a possibility of unity and wants to stay connected with his military life.

After Lord Turnet's retirement from the Vinish Navy, he wanted to still be connected with his military life. In this sense, Lord Turnet decided to take a turn and create the Vinish Red Cross with the efforts of assisting the military with recruitment as well as to offer the servicemen and women assistance with transitioning from military to civilian life and offer the Vinish nation a disaster response and relief effort with this organization as well as the nation's pharmaceutical supplier for the nation's medical force.

Another vision of Lord Turnet was to assist the country with disaster and medical needs creating the first Red Cross pharmacy at the newly established Seawall Regional Chapter Office in the old recreation center near the Central Bank of Vindex.

Post-creation, Lord Turnet became the organization's first President and CEO and led the organization to get approval from President Wellington to be the nation's first responder and pharmaceutical supplier to the hospitals, medical centers, and pharmacies spread throughout the mainland. With this recognition and approval, Lord Turnet decided to enlist a Board of Officers and started to accept volunteers for the various departments within the Red Cross.

To this day, the VNRC is the largest non-profit government agency to be and is believed to be the strongest post-military life adjustment agency and the nation's largest and first disaster response and relief network. It is also the nation's first organization with international ties to the humanitarian mission with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) societies and the Vinish movement to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent movement.

Medal of Freedom Recipient

On February 19, 2019, during a press conference with President Wellington, without any prior knowledge, President Wellington invited Lord Turnet to the stage. To his surprise, he was commended for his actions before and after his military service with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. From his service in the Vinish Coast Guard, a division of the Vinish Police Department at the time, to establishing the first humanitarian society of the International Federation of the Red Cross on Vinish soil, it comes with no surprise to everyone that Lord Turnet would receive such an honor.

Lord Turnet's dedication to his country is not unnoticeable in the eyes of many. President Wellington was estatic himself to present the nation's highest civilian award as he saw Lord Turnet through the years as a symbol of Vinish Pride.

As Lord Turnet was presented the medal, a single teardrop ran down as President Wellington strapped the Medal of Freedom to him. Along with this, Lord Turnet was presented with a small brown box containing additional Medal of Freedom medals, made to be worn during various occasions with the medal-like award, a tie clasp, and a military-style ribbon to attach to his uniforms.

The remarks reads as:

THE PRESIDENT: We the People doing what we can to ensure the idea of Vindex, the cause of freedom, shines like the sun to light up the future of the world.

That’s the sound of our nation, and that’s who we are as Vinish citizens. And that’s what we see in the extraordinary — a Vinish citizen up here on this stage that I have the honor to recognize today with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian award. (Applause.)

Lord Noah Straton Turnet, it is my great honor to present you with a small token of our appreciation. And now I’m going to ask the Military Aide to read the citation as we present the medal. (Applause.)

MILITARY AIDE: Presidential Medal of Freedom citations:

Medal of Honor Recipient

The Congressional Medal of Honor presented to Lord Turnet by President Wellington

On July 26, 2019, a war against Wilden commenced and Lord Turnet decided to assist the Vinish efforts by joining back in the Navy as a reservist while still being a civilian. After the operation, President Wellington presented Lord Turnet with the Congressional Medal of Honor for service to his country and forward the creation of the Vinish Navy.

Lord Noah S. Turnet was presented with the Medal of Honor during an award ceremony at the White House where eight of his fellow servicemen were also presented with the Medal of Honor. During his turn, the crowd was eager and his servicemen were proud to have served alongside him during his military career.

Lord Turnet, although, was overwhelmed as he was not expecting such appreciation for his contributions and almost broke down on stage as President Wellington strapped the Medal of Honor on Lord Turnet. The crowd then chanted his name as he stood on the stage for photos with his fellow recipients and the President and had a single photo shot of the President and himself with an appreciation for what he has done and what his country has done for him.

The remarks reads as:

THE PRESIDENT: While today we honor eight outstanding service members whose actions embodied the highest ideals of selfless service, we also remember the high price our military members and their families are willing to pay on behalf of our nation.

We remember the strength and the sacrifices of these military families, caregivers, and survivors.

And we remember and renew our sacred obligation to those who serve this nation in uniform.  As a nation, we have many obligations to our family and those in need, but we have only one truly sacred obligation — sacred obligation — and that’s to properly prepare and equip those troops we send into harm’s way, to care for them and their families both while they’re deployed and when they return.  That commitment never expires.  And as Commander-in-Chief, I promise it’s a commitment that we will keep.

And now it’s my great honor to ask for Military Aide to read the citations and award the Medal of Honor to to these fine service members. (Applause.)

(The Medal of Honor is presented to the other eight service members.)

MILITARY AIDE: Admiral Lord Noah Sraton Turnet, Retired.

Attention to orders. The President of the Vindex Nation, authorized by an Act of Congress, has awarded in the name of Congress the Medal of Honor to Admiral Lord Noah Sraton Turnet, Vinish Navy, for conspicuous gallantry at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.

Admiral Turnet, distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty while serving as the commander 1st Vinish Naval Fleet during the war with the Kingdom of Wilden on July 26th, 2019 and while serving as the founder and the Admiral of the Navy in the Vinish Naval Service since its inception.

For extraordinary works during his time as the Admiral of the Navy, now known as the Chief of Naval Operations, as attaining a six-star admiral rank, the first and only of its kind, Admiral Turnet has exemplified what being a true leader and mentor is. By providing advice both at a branch level and a national level, mentoring new sailors and civilian contractors, and providing text for formal policies to be enacted for both the Vinish Navy and the Department of Defense.

For his heroic work during the Battle of Wilden. By providing covering fire and maneuvering of the VS Cyclone into position for our troops and sailors to defend freedom at sea, he not only saved his crew but also potentially saved the State of San Amaro from inevitable invasion by the enemy power. He not only single-handedly blockade the route to the State and provide a platform for his men to defend, but he also provided the leadership needed during a time of unrest with a confident, determined attitude to commands and orders.

Admiral Turnet's extraordinary heroism and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his fleet, the Vinish Navy, and the Department of Defense.

Signed Wallace Wellington, the President of Vindex Nation.

(The Medal of Honor is presented.) (Applause.)

THE PRESIDENT:  I think this is the end of my time on stage. (Laughter.) It is truly with great honor to be standing next to you all tonight. Thank you all so very much. (Applause.)
