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.

Navy - Least Respected Service? I don't think so.

"Have an exhalted pride in the uniform you wear and all that it represents. Wear it correctly; wear it proudly. Salute it with respect when you meet it; behave in it in a seemly manner when you wear it; protect it when it is offended or in danger. It represents the fleet, the nation, your home, and your family. It is a symbol of all that is dear to you and all that men are willing to die for."

The picture? It says it all. You can take it to the bank. Spotless shiny didn't do no fighting, no suffering, no dying, no killing, perfect white uniforms.
Ah, they are a navy school's dream. Every CPO aspires to sailors just like those in the pic.

You can kind of tell who picks the Navy's official photos can't you? What do you say Master Chief? Good enough for you?
