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. He still wears his Navy service on his sleeve. He needs to get over that. "ADVANCE WARNING - NO ORIGINAL THOUGHT!" A "self-appointed" lead EVANGELIST for the "cryptologic community". Keeping CRYPTOLOGY alive-one day and Sailor at a time. 2015 is 80th Anniversary of the Naval Security Group.

600th Post
34 years ago, today, I was enjoying my 4th day in the Navy. Since then, I have had nearly 10,946 "great Navy days" (according to Captain David M. MacDougall) before my retirement in 2006.
I had no idea what this blog would become when I started. I just needed an outlet for some of my thoughts and favorite quotes.
There's really nothing original here, but I think it has become a collection of some pretty good thoughts and ideas about Naval leadership.
200-300 people visit each day. Some on purpose. Some by mistake. All are appreciated.
Keep the blogs coming.
ReplyDeleteIs this the David Mac Dougall that served at Winter Harbor in the late '60's?
ReplyDeleteRichard,
ReplyDeleteIt is the same guy. He is retired now and living in Norfolk.
All the best
Mike
Is there a confidential way to get hold of him (email etc.). I served with him at NSGA Winter Harbor in 1968 when he was a CTA2.

Hey, that image is my blog header! At least you have it linking back to my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks interesting and I look forward to reading it. What route did you take to go from enlisted to officer? My husband is an LDO.
USN Chic,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I went from E-5 to Ensign. Navy paid for my B.A. in Russian then commissioned me.
Thank you for your service in the Navy and for your husband's continuing service. My current boss is an LDO Captain (retired). We love MUSTANGS !!!
