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.

What Counts Most In The Navy
“I believe in what counts most in the Navy – the officers and enlisted men – the man behind the gun, the man in the engine-room, the man in the conning tower, the man, whoever he is, who is doing his duty.”
I love TR for many things, including has advocacy for seapower.
I wonder how we would feel knowing that today "the man" behind the gun, the conning tower, in engine room may very well be a woman (OK, not in submarines, but you get the picture)...

I do believe if one went to Rushmore and posed that query, TR would respond with “bully, for the ladies”.
Very Respectfully,

I agree completely....
