Yet you are both dictating ("Let's leave it at that.") and presenting an "uppity" attitude (criticizing her uniform with an uppity attitude when clearly you are wrong). How sad that you spend your time reading blogs and post unkind comments. This will by my last response, because I choose move on to something far more useful.

She will have to lead by example - not dictate. I see she wants to serve aboard submarines. I can imagine her reporting aboard a boat to serve with folks who have decades more experience than she does and who will resent her "uppity" attitude. She is destined for a painful learning experience, but I wish her well.<br />Why does she not wear her Stars? I guess she believes that is humility. If she earned them, they are part of her uniform and she is "out of uniform" without them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349667735207731712.post-19726262972096738722016-02-18T07:50:57.790-05:002016-02-18T07:50:57.790-05:00I was on staff in '67 with Mike Glynn.

"I'm better at details..." adds to that fact and points to a lack of humility. Most Midshipmen are very good at details.<br />Listen - I graduated from the place and would very much dislike being talked down to like this by another Midshipman. Frankly, I think she is a poor choice for Brigade Commander. There must be better choices. Perhaps her being a female, in this PC world, had something to do with it, I don't know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349667735207731712.post-32647400775222804552016-02-17T19:55:49.546-05:002016-02-17T19:55:49.546-05:00What specifically didn't sound humble about wh...What specifically didn't sound humble about what she said?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349667735207731712.post-49365885726820313522016-02-17T18:28:40.924-05:002016-02-17T18:28:40.924-05:00Anonymous
