Love the Admiral's callsign - hilarious!
Impressive. Great interview. Best wishes from Newfoundland.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A huge thank you to you girls n guys in the USN…, you make civilian life possible in nations all over the globe…, I hope you understand the difference that you are🙏🙏🙏🌹🇺🇸🦅🇳🇿
Navy PA and Recruitment teams need to go talk it out with Marine Corps PA and Recruitment. Clearly the Marine Corps knows something about recruitment today that other uniformed services struggle to envisage or bring about to improve recruitment.
But the MarCorp has a tremendous history to feed off.Navy has one as well but nothing like the Marines!
I wish we had this type of personnel-concerned leadership in the nuclear power program back in the HGR days.
Red Sea Houthi WEZ - That’s a pretty weak WEZ to be considered in the “you can’t [or can] live under a WEZ” discussion. Now consider the WEZ of being near Iran proper, or worse, in SCS. Talk relative capacity: quality, quantity, and integration of the A2AD.
Hope the emphasis on safety doesn't hamper mission effectiveness. Nothing like a flag rank officer having his career on the line to take that to the wrong end of the spectrum.
So being a member of Tailhook is not a career ender or frowned apon anymore?
The organization paid its price for the 1991 scandal, and the Navy had no relationship with them for a number of years. But it's back now--much different and better. You'd be surprised at the number of aviators who bring their spouses and even kids to Hook now. Are there reunions and parties? Sure. But the problems of 1991 in the rear-view mirror--and not forgotten.
@@USNavalInstitute I remember I was in the reserves during that time.I was going to join because as a ASAC I was able to join as an associate or NAVAIR support rate. Wish I had gone to Tailhook before the slapdown. Would have been a lot of fun!
Cookies to Warriors? Huh? Oh well……
Check out stories about USS Eisenhower commanding officer Captain Chris Hill and how he highlighted the performances of sailors on the ship during the deployment. Called to the bridge, phone call home, photo taken in the captain's chair with a big chocolate chip cookie. The sailors (and their families back home) loved it.
“Pulling the trigger is really good for morale,” never have I heard a worse condemnation of morals.
Fortunately I suspect such is merely in the speakers while there is a misunderstanding of what is good for morale.
As the Stoics, the Confucians, and John Boyd have shown, morals are intricately tied to morale. Pulling the trigger isn’t something to celebrate or to want to do. It is something to be prepared to do and if you find yourself in the wrong circumstances something you have to do but not something you should want to do nor should we want persons who want to do it. I would say re-enlistment rate may have more to do with feeling a sense of utility and importance, significance, not in pulling triggers. Don’t confuse the two. If you celebrate pulling triggers what you incentivize is massacres.
Now compare motive and morale in Ukraine’s troops. What drives them? Why? How? You know this to be true as your subsequent discussion talked about “meaningful work” being put in front of your people.
Think about Katrina relief efforts and the Christmas Tsunami relief about a year and a half before it. How were retention rates in these groups? It is the sense of purpose and being useful not the trigger pulling. In regards to trigger pulling, it isn’t it itself but the noting you were ready and able and did so when the situation called upon you to have to do so. You were able to be there and at the moment till now you believed you made a difference in a positive manner. But you still have to watch out for the false dichotomy of binary good versus evil. And you should avoid celebrating the killing or unintentionally creating a perception of such. Don’t celebrate the trigger. Instead praise protecting and defending. A trigger is a mean not an end and it is ends not means that create positive or negative morale. Triggers can very easily cause ill ends immoral ends and immoral ends will crush morale.
Morals and morale are two different things man people love trying to blend both of them together and when it comes to a soldier or sailor that’s a slippery slope man.
