Change

“If you want to change the Navy, pick up your pen and write.”

Is this a Mike Lambert original?

I do believe writing is a step toward change, but it seem in many cases, nobody is listening. They might read, but they don't listen.

I am certain that in history, someone else has said if you want to change "X" (X = world, your business, the school system, etc), pick up your pen (typewriter) and write. Otherwise, it's a Mike Lambert 'original'? ADM Stavridis may have suggested something similar - think, read, write and publish.

Thank you. I wrote the CNO about my CO/XO today. I hope it helps.

I recommend careful thought before any letters to senior Navy leaders. Be wary of giving them a reason to come after you.

Having the courage to write is only half the solution to changing the Navy...the other half being the DOING or ACTING portion.
