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.

New warriors

Joining a legion of cyber warriors in the IDC as full fledged "war fighters" are intellectual warriors (our public affairs team of PAOs and Mass Communication Specialists). These folks are on the front lines in the battle of ideas. After all, the pen has always been mightier than the sword.

Amen to that, and that is something that many of us who write (especially on blogs) experience again and again. In addition, the power of the written word can put the people who do not write at such a disadvantage that they start to attack both the written word and the person holding the pen (or owning the blog), which unfortunately happened to me this week. People with strong opinions and who communicate those opinions in writing can indeed be a very effective force mightier than the sword, and thus perceived as a threat by many.

Kind regards,
