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.

Anchor Up, Chiefs! Reset the Mess

There's still time to get this done. Maintain steady strain on all lines.

"The tone of the ship, the tone of the service itself must come more directly from the Chief Petty Officers than from any other group of people in the Navy."
The Blue Jacket's Manual - 1918

"Chief Petty Officers are first and foremost desk plate leaders charged with developing Sailors and enforcing standards."
MCPON Joe Campa

"When a Chiefs' Mess is hitting on all cylinders, there is no better command, and when a Chiefs' Mess is not working well, there is nothing worse."
Admiral Mike Mullen

Anchor Up, Chiefs! Reset the Mess

As MCPON Rick West said when he assumed 'the office'
- "Anchor up, Chiefs - HOOYAH !"
