I Like The Cut Of His Jib !!

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.

Make history or write it? Why not both?

"“Naval officers prefer to make history rather than write it—because of which preference they probably do a better job of the former.”

— Admiral Ernest J. King 1942 quoted in Naval War College Review.

And then, there are those Naval officers who are eminently qualified to do both - Admiral James Stavridis - historian and history maker.
