"The Navy doesn’t need another written attempt to piece together what it stands for. It already has Core Values, a Sailor’s Creed, a Maritime Strategy and more.What it needs is to start living up to the standards and traditions naval leaders have developed over generations.
The core values of honor, courage and commitment are a good start. Honor to the truth and to justice; courage to do what’s right and defend the nation even in the face of mortal danger; and commitment to getting the job done, and doing it well.
An ethos is innate. And this is what the Navy’s ethos is supposed to be.
So, the Navy doesn’t need a new ethos statement. It just needs to start living up to the high standards it already has set for itself."

"So, the Navy doesn’t need a new ethos statement. It just needs to start living up to the high standards it already has set for itself."
Where does this rag have any credibility when it comes to making statements about Navy standards and the implementation of such standards? The Navy Times had only one purpose in my years as a Sailor, and that was to post the individuals to be advanced in rate. Where they derived this authority, I do not know, but I truly feel they have no place in their editorializing of Navy policy.
Very Respectfully,
