Take up a pen and write


“There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write.”

William Makepeace Thackeray

CAPT, Do you think a command requiring the review of any articles written by its officers and submitted for publication in a military journal/magazine is appropriate?

From a classification perspective, okay. Any other, I don't think so. I would never suggest going up against your CO's policy. I would discuss with your DIVOFF, DH, XO and CO. Don't do any of the work on your article at work. If you do, it no longer belongs to you. It is part of the Navy's work.
