The United States Navy, which prides itself on being the most pragmatic of the military services, needs to remain aware that the leadership and organizational structures that define it also breed protective sacred cows or truth-denying ideologies that ultimately threaten it. What's required in our United States Navy is honest, thorough, and ongoing self-criticism, which, after all, is at the heart of continuous improvement.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.
