Terminal Lance and Doctrine Man: Where are the Navy and AF equivalents?

 

So the Marines and Army have their representative creatures. (And it is appropriate that USMC one is enlisted whilst the Army’s is an officer.) The other night, the secretary of the Army gave Doctrine Man’s influence a big shoutout. Where are the Navy and Air Force equivalents?
