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.

Success ?

Captain Lambert,
Many years ago I heard a Chief tell an assistant Weapons Officer that it may be his job to tell him what to do, but it was the Chiefs job to determine how to get that job done. This Chief was junior to me, and I used his words many times after that when it was necessary.
Very Respectfully, E.A. Hughes, FTCM(SS) US Navy (Ret) Navyman834
