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.

Men of principle
"God grant that men of principle be our principal men."
Sadly such a man was not our principal man at the United States Naval Academy. Adding to the disgrace he has already brought to this venerable institution, he adds this (from Navy Times):
A sprawling financial scandal at the Naval Academy — involving extravagant parties and a “slush fund” — was an embarrassment that helped lead to an early exit for the school’s superintendent.
Vice Admiral Jeffrey Fowler faced “administrative action” in April as a result of a year-long Naval Inspector General’s investigation, said Rear Adm. Denny Moynihan, the Navy’s top spokesman.
Add to that what does a "year long investigation cost"? Was he investigated by USNA alums and protected by a USNA CNO? It doesn't take a year to investigate anything in the Navy - unless the Navy would like for it to take a year. What officer in command would say, "I'd like you to do a thorough investigation and I would like your report in a year?" What an embarrassment !! What a shame.
