I kind of try to look at things simply. As part of the commitment that our Sailors make, leaders and subordinates make promises to each other. Sailors make a promise to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and they promise to serve. And something is required in return. Leaders, those responsible for that thing called mission accomplishment, they promise the tools and the training so that our people can do their work well.
Leaders promise opportunity to grow and develop and succeed.
In the Fleet they're talking about quality of service. Quality of service is the combination of quality of life and quality of work. One more bit on the Fleet. When I was growing up, my dear old dad taught me to never forget where I came from. Well, I've come to a place in life in an office where I'm now able to walk in to the Navy Archives, and I did on Saturday last, and ask them for the picture that hung in the wardroom of the USS John W. Weeks.
