I go anywhere in the world they tell me to go, any time they tell me to, to fight anybody they want me to fight. I move my family anywhere they tell me to move, on a day’s notice,and live in whatever quarters they assign me. I work whenever they tell me to work....And I like it.

Gee, he didn't like it so much when he was SECNAV!

ReplyDeleteUnless I don't get what I want. Then i'll quit like I did when I was the SECNAV.
When I worked in the Pentagon, used to walk by all the former SECNAVs portraits. I always thought Webb was a little pretentious to have his own books on the credenza he's leaning on when posing. Like some of the things he's done, don't like how he pulls chocks when challenged a bit.
