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. 2019 is 84th Anniversary of the Naval Security Group.
I have completed my turnover with CDR Abe Thompson, and will departing for PACOM in mid-August. I leave C3F confident that C3F IW/Cryptology is in very good hands. Abe, along with CDR(Sel) Mike Elliot, LT Eren Cataloglu, and our extremely talented and capable CT Chiefs and crew (coupled with an outstanding N2 department and N39 crowd) will no doubt continue to perform superbly supporting THIRD Fleet and the nation.
It has been a pleasure and a rewarding experience working with all of you and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again in the future. Thank you for your support both professionally and personally.
Take care and God bless, Vr/CDR Dietz (Eric)
NOTE: That, ladies and gentlemen is a class act. Not surprising that Commander Dietz was recently selected for Captain.
