He was a wonderful man and a great leader. He also knew the issues inside and out. He knew his people and their families. He never backed down from any issue. He was in the forefront of Navy issues,engaged with the CNO and DIRNSA on a daily basis; not sitting behind a desk. A man of action and good judgement.
He must be spinning in his grave watching the train wreck his successors have created.
