Coaching Trees (NSGA Kunia 2002-2004) (Guest Post)

By CDR Brian Schulz, Commanding Officer, Navy Information Operations Command Yokosuka, Japan. 

When football pundits talk about the “great” head coaches, their assessments turn to championships and then inevitably to the “coaching tree.” This idea of a coaching tree is identifying what former assistant coaches under a head coach went on to their own success as a head coach.   Bill Parcells, one of the all time greats (I said “one of,” don’t stop reading now out of Giants/Patriots/Jets/Cowboys hatred), has a coaching tree that includes Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, Mike Zimmer, Anthony Lynn, Doug Marrone, and Todd Bowles…all former assistants under Parcells and now all pretty successful head coaches (or former, in Bowles case) in their own right.

Operation Neptune Spear: The Night the Hunt Ended

In the late hours of May 1, 2011, a quiet garrison town in Abbottabad became the stage for one of the most consequential covert operations in modern military history. Known as Operation Neptune Spear, the mission ended a nearly decade-long manhunt for Osama bin Laden—the architect of the September 11 attacks—and reshaped the global fight against terrorism.

Behind Enemy Lines – How Cryptology Played a Key Role in the Daring Rescue of Captain Scott O’Grady

Originally posted in 2020:

Last week, I came across an announcement that Scott O’Grady had been nominated by President Trump to be the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs. When I heard the news, I was transported back to my junior officer days in the mid-1990’s. If you were alive and old enough at the time, you probably remember Scott O’Grady. He came to International attention in June 1995 when the F-16 he was piloting was shot down over Bosnia. Back in those days, Scott O’Grady was an Air Force junior officer enforcing the no-fly zone over Bosnia-Herzegovina as part of the American contingent supporting of NATO’s Operation DENY FLIGHT.

How electronic warfare is sowing confusion in cockpits

“Terrain ahead. Pull up!”

It’s a command that should only be heard in a disaster movie or flight simulator. But pilots and aviation experts say such warnings have been increasingly sparking alarm in cockpits as bogus signals from global positioning satellites hit commercial flights.

Honoring Dr. Stephen Jauregui Commander (Ret) and Professor

Steve Jauregui joined the Navy as a young Seaman in 1942. His career spanning nearly 30 years took him to WWII duty in the Pacific, through the Cold War, and ultimately a commission and leadership of one of SECGRU’s premier programs. His success in shepherding WATERBOY (submarine WLR-6) through a maze of technical and programmatic obstacles was legendary and well documented in William Hadley’s series. But few outside SECGRU’s small engineering community know that after retiring from the Navy in 1970, he went on to an equally impressive second career.
