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.

I submit that the thoughts are basically the same. One must evaluate each small part of any plan before making a critical judgment of that plan. And even though Machiavelli was quite famous he did not have the answers to everything. As it turns out most things are composed of small things that are important to the makeup of any plan.
