Musings, leadership tidbits and quotes posted by a retired Navy Captain (really just a high performing 2nd Class Petty Officer) who hung up his uniform a bit too early (even at 30 years). The uniform is in the closet but, he still wears his Navy service on his sleeve. He needs to get over that. But, he just doesn't try hard enough. "ADVANCE WARNING - NO ORIGINAL THOUGHT!" A "self-appointed" lead EVANGELIST for the "cryptologic community". Keeping CRYPTOLOGY alive-one day and Sailor at a time.

What Counts Most In The Navy
“I believe in what counts most in the Navy – the officers and enlisted men – the man behind the gun, the man in the engine-room, the man in the conning tower, the man, whoever he is, who is doing his duty.”
I love TR for many things, including has advocacy for seapower.
I wonder how we would feel knowing that today "the man" behind the gun, the conning tower, in engine room may very well be a woman (OK, not in submarines, but you get the picture)...

I do believe if one went to Rushmore and posed that query, TR would respond with “bully, for the ladies”.
Very Respectfully,

I agree completely....
Amen.
