I Like The Cut Of His Jib !!

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.

It's Our Ship

Here is a book worthy of adding to your library. Retired Navy Captain Mike Abrashoff has written another great book. You remember his book IT'S YOUR SHIP. This fine addition is IT'S OUR SHIP.

Some may remember CDR Abrashoff from his command tour aboard USS Benfold. IT'S YOUR SHIP, his book about his very successful command tour, is a great companion tome to Admiral James Stavridis' book DESTROYER CAPTAIN which recently sold out its 'first edition' printing.

First Printing Sold Out !!

If you haven't already purchased Admiral James Stavridis' book, DESTROYER CAPTAIN, you missed your opportunity to own a First Edition copy. Not to worry, they are already printing the second edition. This is a great book. Required reading for those with any interest at all in leadership, the Navy, destroyers, command at sea, Sailors, Chief Petty Officers or serving one's country. I am biased, but this is a great companion tome for Michael Abrashoff's IT'S YOUR SHIP. Two completely different approaches to telling the story about the considerable challenges and rewards of 'destroyer command'.
