Simply put, there are two mindsets that will kill any organization; they are:
“We’ve always done it that way,”and
“We’ve never done it that way.”
“Diriker’s Rule”

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.

Captain Lambert,There are times when the mindset has to, in fact, include those dreaded statements. If you have ever been to sea on an FBM Submarine the ship is operated in strict accord with the SORM (Standard Organization and Regulations Manual), the nuclear weapons are controlled in strict accord with the WORM (Weapons Organization and Regulations Manual), and things were always done that way. Very Respectfully,Navyman834
