Interesting piece, but it appears wholly aspirational. USNA has compromised the Honor Concept by introducing "remediation," apparently available more than once, and in all 4 years. It has eliminated discussion of the Honor Concept from BGO candidate interviews, apparently because they think later generations are morally inferior as they arrive at USNA compared to previous generations. If the Honor Concept is the minimum standard, then where is the programmatic guidance defining the relationship between the two and implementing actions. Otherwise, this is just a digital feel good statement. Interpretation and implementation appears to be left in the hands of individual midshipmen. The same group that Navy already sees as incapable of meeting the minimum Honor standard with respect to lieing, cheating, or stealing.
I like how I'm the only one who cares.
Give pride. Give honor. Share whatever it is you have, because no one is taking anything out of this world that they did not bring into it. And there is no "becoming" unless you have some secret that we don't. The overproduction of elites is a serious problem. There is no more room at the top of the pyramid and so you only think you're a power broker, when in fact you are a brick, or worse, a brickmaker like all of us down here who await our Moses.
My roommate got kicked out youngster year. He didn't rat out anyone else, and none of the cowards came to back him up. It was a whole platoon of mids who did the deed in question. So I don't have a good memory of the honor concept, the honor squad, the knock on the door at night and all that. In fact, it made me wonder. And when my other roommate got kicked out for academics and performance that too soured my outlook. I myself, me, me, me, I kicked ass and graduated near the top of the class. But I never forgot that the dudes who preach the loudest are the biggest frauds. To me that's the honor takeaway. Out in the fleet its the same. The careerists and the liars float like oil to the top. Gundecked quals, favors to defense contractors, faked training stats, faked objectives in war, bias confirmation, sucky machinery (who remembers the Humvee which looked cool but had no armor. So many disabled vets I met could speak to that.) Unreliable gear led to the death of my XO. The worst is not doing anything of risk so you don't fail. How about the Soviet style officer ranking system. 4 out of 4 in a very competitive field. Has to be that way. It's a pyramid system. Who's in charge is life or death. In Afghanistan it was the Taliban then the Karzais then the Taliban again. Reagan's support of the Jihadist Mujahideen led to the rise of the Taliban in the first place, with plenty American weapons. Still happening. What about the uncleared mine fields. BZ. Did nada in Yemen which is all beachfront. Let everyone die. Not even a freaking hospital ship. Go Navy. SEALS got Bin Laden. Good intel. But do mountains of nothing all day. Write best sellers on leadership. Can u tell I pissed? I deeply regret not going to bat for my bros. I miss you guys. Capt Rimmer, you sound like a real piece of works. Mental health includes not being a narcissist.
"Move the Olympics to Athens, forever!" Wise words from a wise man.
We need to know when this man left Exelon for TXU/EFH! The story there is that TXU had a large chunk of the Texas power grid. Their stock killed it from 2004-2008 because of the increase in natural gas prices. TXU had a few old coal plants, one nuclear plant, and about half natural gas. They suffered a buyout by KKR, who had long wanted to own a power company, with Goldman Sachs and other venture capitalists providing "leverage" in the largest corporate buyout of American history! The newly formed company was called Energy Future Holdings. It did not do well. Natural gas went down with increased fracking. Coal became unpopular for polluting. EFH eventually went bankrupt in 2014, reforming again into a company called EFH and some other companies. Don't give the American public spin.

People! Lovers of all that is good, why is this not visited by a hundred thousand views, nay a hundred million, and why am I the first commenter? He who watches over the sea neither slumbers nor sleeps.
Art is powerful. Sculpture, painting, poetry, non-fiction writing, woodworking and other crafts (not an exhaustive list!) can help veterans heal! Some of the best work being done these days is by veterans. And when the enemy is at the gates, the first objects to save are the cultural treasures, for by such things a nation can be defined. What are our cultural values these days? Can artists hep express the balance between the public good and the sacredness of the individual? Love to RADM Stocks and others who continue to serve in multiple capacities, for our nation depends on several kinds of defense!
你们都得加倍努力来吓唬我们
Well said, Lt j.g. (by now) Anderson. I'm a member of the Class of 1972 and one of your "Links in the Chain." You are proof that the core values taught to us at USNA have not changed in the last 50 years. Bravo Zulu!

Well done inspiring video I was in the Navy back in ‘85…..but I was told that a person who was accepted into the USNA has to go through basic training first just like the enlisted men and women at one of the 3 ( now only 1) RTC facilities. Wish I could have gotten into the USNA. Go Navy!!!!⚓⚓⚓⚓🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Reading the admiral's most excellent book; Sea Power. Bravo!

Jack Crawford and my dad, Captain William H Cross, were great friends all their lives. Both USNA '42 and both did MIT together.
It;s just horrifying! All of those eccentrically low quality beings are in our beloved Naval Academy! THANKS TO THE ACCURSED LIBERALISM AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION! Literally put our national security on RISK!!
