Orders aside, the ability for a senior to actually communicate with a junior is often difficult; there are cultural and language differences involved. I believe CAPT Hinkley is just pointing out one method that he used (with someone) to establish a common level of understanding in order to achieve a good dialogue. Being as the comment was an excerpt, I won't know for sure until I read the book. I will tell you that I have worked directly for the CAPT and it was a great experience both personally and professionally.Mancubnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-63121441211284399372009-09-18T02:58:56.165-04:002009-09-18T02:58:56.165-04:00Captain Lambert,

What ever happened to the good order and discipline that once was our standard in the Navy? NJP was a tool that was administered by the Commanding Officer and supported by all rated men/woman of that command. I felt it worked well in my time. All Sailors raised their right hand and swore to do amongst other things, obey the orders of officers appointed over them, which were in accordance with the Regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. What is so difficult about that? It appears to me that today’s Navy needs to do more than reset the Chiefs Mess if that is what is taking place.<br /><br />Very Respectfully,<br />Navyman834Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-55238096504091247932009-09-13T11:33:17.936-04:002009-09-13T11:33:17.936-04:00Navymman834
