I think there's a disconnect somewhere here. A CRC afloat's job is much more complicated than simply taking care of a division, and will require almost all of his/her time. Most often you're not only responsible for your ship's functions, but those of your battlegroup (or whatever construct you're ...

If folks are taking CRC tours to get their pins then they are definitely not focused on coordinating the cryptologic resources of the C/ESG. I wouldn't consider the CRC on a surface ship tour.

My husband got no end of service award because his boss was over his head and too busy to submit one. That was desp...

We pay a lot of lip service to this, but how do you strike a balance between being one of "those" officers who micromanages all aspects of his division and trusting his/her Chief to take care of the things the Chief should be taking care of? I can tell you, I have the trust of my subordinates, and ...
