I'm not surprised he has ascended to such heights. I remember him as very personable and cared about his crew.<br /><br />I agree that the military is too PC.

The data, pulled from TWMS earlier this week, represents what is in the system but actual assignment of personnel in your XXXXXX may vary. Please review and submit changes as necessary.<br /><br />A change in focus of this year's diversity brief is the desire to identify our key performers (by name) and provide insight on each of them. CNO is interested in who are the diverse officers with high potential and what is the plan for their career progression. He may ask what is being done within to ensure they are considered for key follow on billets within the Navy. This list must be held very closely but will provide ready reference to ensure we are carefully monitoring and supporting the careers of the best and the brightest the Navy has to offer.<br /><br />Please review the data provided and report your concurrence or identify specific anomalies. Your insight to the diverse composition of your command will assist in my discussion with CNO. Additionally, provide your by name list including career insight for your top performers (03 and above) in those key positions. This reporting requirement will not be put into TV4 taskers due to the sensitive nature of the by name list. Input is due to me by 2 August 2010.SORRY I WAS BORN WHITE!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-4716031318146153082010-08-04T17:57:35.507-04:002010-08-04T17:57:35.507-04:00When did "mentee" enter the lexicon?

So, is RADM Deets also "interested in who are the diverse officers with high potential and what is the plan for their career progression"? Does he "...ask what is being done within to ensure they are considered for key follow on billets within the Navy"? Is his "list...held very closely but provide[s] ready reference to ensure we are carefully monitoring and supporting the careers of the best and the brightest the Navy has to offer"?<br /><br />ANY good officer also questions things when they seem wrong.
