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 have not read it but don't believe there is any shame in not reading everything that an admiral writes. If he sent it to me to read, I would have read it. Proceedings is not an official publication. Most of it is a waste.
Sorry to say it, but your letter sounds pretty pandering (read kiss a**) to me... kind of a weakly veiled attempt to draw attention to yourself. If I were you, I'd be kind of embarrassed to post it to tell you the truth. I'm not surprised it wasn't answered.
Unfortunately, anon speaks truth. You can choose to remove ability to post anon but you eliminate a valuable input source. Sometimes rudeness is the only way to express a thought that you wish to communicate. In this case, was it necessary. No. Will you look at what you write a bit differently. Yes. --- Value case made. No?

ReplyDeleteThe BIG question is - did he write you back?
ReplyDeleteProbably not, right?

ReplyDeleteTo be honest, no, he did not respond.
Wow, your handwriting is really good.

ReplyDeleteYour words might carry more weight if you had the courage to add your name to them and own them.
RADM Leigher and I have corresponded on a number of topics and this happens to be a letter I did not get a response to.

ReplyDeleteI really haven't seen anything posted here that someone couldn't own. So, I don't think you've made the case.
