Professional Reading Drop Box

Currently reading a Sailor's History of the U.S. Navy by Thomas Cutler on a 12 hour watch. Actually not too bad so far, kind of a next reading level for the Blue Jacket Manual.

I did finish About Face by General Hackworth. Incredibly dense read but definitely worth it! Even nowadays it's easy to relate to the changing policies of the services being more concerned with "ticket-punching" than mission effectiveness.

FWIW, Hackworth was also a professional gadfly who arguably helped badger a CNO into suicide. I’d just understand the bias of anything from him, because a) it’s dated by probably 20 years, and b) it’s not coming from a neutral source.

Shared the link with Mrs Wink. She liked it a lot and may use it. She is a voracious reader of legal blogs, articles and books. It is in large part why she is so successful. She simply knows her stuff. Several of her associate lawyers and even peers have gone so far to say she is a freak of nature, that they can't possibly reach her level of professional knowledge and success. But they miss the point, illustrated elsewhere in a Green Note Book blog pointing out how awed JOs are of LTG McMaster. People like Mrs Wink and General McMaster are the product of a career of self study. Most anyone can do it. It just takes going beyond NATOPS and GMT (or whatever they call it these days), or in her profession, Bar require Continuing Legal Education. If only she could get her associates to thoroughly digest some of the material she shares with them.
Ah yes, the "freaks" of nature, we're the best! I applaud Mrs. Wink and you for making her your Mrs. :)
