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.
It's getting just a little top heavy, don't you think? What percentage of the IW community actually delivers a "product" for our national security as opposed to pushing policy papers and managing constant restructuring to make room for more flag posts? Cut half of them... the corresponding reduction of our national budget deficit will ultimately be worth more than what they will likely contribute.
Dr/Admiral Tighe is awesome ... I will always cherish the days when she was that great XO back in my flying days when I was a CTO1(SW/NAC) ... and I knew then what everyone knows now ... that woman is going places! If I could be un-Retired and locomote myself off of my comfortable Tampa Bay Area beach her Navy is protecting from afar, she would definitely be the first person I'd try to work for.

ReplyDeleteFYI
Active and Reserve are not the names of flag officers. Active and Reserve are categories.
OK...9 Flags! Let's cut 4000 enlisted billets so we can keep them...We have WAY too many flags in the Navy.
ReplyDeleteThis article states perfectly what needs to happen in the Navy: http://cdrsalamander.blogspot.com/2010/05/overdue-controlled-burn.html
