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.

NIOC Hawai'i Change of Command - 29 June
Captain Jeff Cole and Captain Justin Kershaw bookend RADM Bill Leigher.
With Captain Cole being one of the nicest guys in our community, that leaves only one. Captain Kershaw is a big fan of Captain Kershaw and though a solid Officer, his arrogance turns most of us off. We're happy to do what he tells us, but not all that interested in following his lead. Maybe he has changed in the years since I have served with him. Only those in HI will know for sure.
Believe it or not, I have exactly the opposite perspective. One man's fruit is another man's poison. Granted, they were CDRs when I worked with them. Promotions bring out the demons in some men. They think they are above us. The angels are above us; the demons below.
@ Anonymous of 07/02/2012 - Your description of Captain Kershaw (with the exception of him being a solid Officer) remains accurate and if anything might require some stronger words at this point. Anxiously awaiting his departure!
Please let us know regarding below. Because one of my good friends is flirted with jfk recently. Is he playboy? My friend is purely Japanese woman in HI. How do you think about that?

Captain K is like many other COs who only care about themselves. He never learned to be a servant leader. Guys like him picked him for promotion. Our sailors don't trust him and just wait for his next outburst.
@September 7, 2013 at 5:32 AM Would you please share your experience of jfk to help those of us trying to know him get a better understanding. If anyone could share on a personal level it would be greatly appreciated
Great group of naval officers. Served with each of them.
ReplyDeleteOne is not quite the gentleman you would expect.
ReplyDeleteCAPT Kershaw or CAPT Cole?

ReplyDeleteThe CO's XO is even more arrogrant that he is. Quite a team but NIOC HI has had lots of trouble with its XOs. Last one was fired I think.
ReplyDeleteNIOC HI personnel anxiously await the next change of command and XO turnover. It won't come soon enough for some of us...
