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.

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.
