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.

Fired - For Cause

Word to the wise - don't let your Sailors smoke and set your ship on fire. And, don't run your ship aground. The American taxpayer (you and me) can't afford it. $17M in damage to USS George Washington. Costs to repair USS Pearl Harbor are as yet unknown.

Your questions about RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY have been answered. For those things which you are responsible, you will be held accountable.

Next question?

It was a damned miracle no one got seriously hurt, though that miracle was tempered by the rigorous training you insisted on putting us through. Go with god, sir. If no one else appreciates your leadership in those dark hours, know that I do.
