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.

Do the right thing. I know it's hard sometimes. Do it anyway.
Your shipmates are counting on you.

'Do the right thing' is which part of our Navy Core Values; Honor, Courage, or Commitment?
Oh that's right...ALL THREE!
The problem which causes a lot of conflict is we (generally speaking) don't always agree on which action or decision is the right thing. We just have to hope that we - each of us individually and as an organization collectively - can agree on which action or decision is the wrong thing and avoid it.
When I read about the US Army taking a commander to court martial for taking parts off another unit's deadlined trucks left behind that failed to cross the line of departure in ODS, they jumped the shark. The trucks were clearly no use to the departed owning unit and would help his unit get more combat power over the line of departure and nobody would miss them except...those with very very odd values. Logistics types perhaps. Legal types perhaps, idiots.

Some of us don't agree and never will. Ever.
