My biggest concern a leader is accountability, all the way up and down the chain. I want a guy, when the shit gets bad, to say "This is my responsibility, I will get it done" and then do it. I also want a guy to hold his subordinates and superiors accountable, personally, both for good and bad deeds. I want the chest lettuce handed out to the junior E's who do the work, not the fucking O-1 who was Divo and handed down the order. I want the O-3 who is willing to go to bat for his LPO/LCPO when they make a decision that OPS/ADMIN doesn't like, and will not wilt under pressure because "That's the way it's always been done"
Too many times in "todays Navy" I see people willing to jump the chain and bitch when they don't get their way, instead of having the balls (or ovaries, ladies) to tell the person they have a problem with what they think. This mindset of "the guy above me is right because he writes my fitrep" is fucking bullshit. If you think something is wrong, say something, and HAVE A SOLUTION. Don't just whine about it.
Whooo...long week, sorry about the rage guys.
