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.

Well deserved! I'm thrilled to hear confirmation of the rumors. RDML Leigher has worked long and hard to advance the role of Information Warfare in the Navy. I have no doubt he will continue to push us all to achieve what we thought to be impossible.

It's kind of funny that anyone was surprised by this. Didn't anyone see the message last fall that stated there was a zone of one to pick one IWO RADM? Not to take anything away from Admiral Leigher, but this was decided months ago. We were only waiting on the results. Rumors? Please.

Perhaps we all don't have the refined understanding of the process that you have. Excuse our ignorance.
