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.

How our Navy Flags used to correspond --- "With kindest personal regards,"
A retired Admiral Bull Halsey took the time to thank the many Sailors who contributed to the Navy's and his success - a couple of years after the conclusion of World War II.
I recently read that the MCPON personally signs and sends a letter to every Sailor selected for advancement to CPO. Although not hand written, the signing alone depicts an investment in time that is meaningful to each newly selected CPO who receives one.
Don't see much of this anymore by letter or record message.
