I read LCDR Haag’s post regarding consequences of large amalgamated commands and subsequent diminished command opportunities with both agreement and concern. Agreement, because I remember not long ago that possible duty stations spanned the globe in more and smaller commands, presenting myriad possibilities for adventure and advancement. I was fortunate enough to be stationed aboard one of these, NSGA Menwith Hill, before she decommissioned. I remember also the stories my respected seniors would tell of days at Sabana Seca, Athens, or any of the other gone but not forgotten locations memorialized by Station HYPO. I read with concern, however, because while I agree that our community can better advance professional development of our senior most junior Officers, large commands already offer tremendous opportunity to Department Heads to tackle the challenges noted by the LCDR.
For those at sea, deployed, or on watch, thank you for your service!
For those fortunate to be home, enjoy this time with family and friends!
Merry Christmas!
