The preceding article is from a Navy Captain and discusses the culture, history, and decisions of Naval officers that have led to the recent spate of COs being relieved, largely for misconduct. It provides very accurate insight in comparison to some of the things I saw while I was in the Navy. I think the article provides some good lessons that have applicability to enlisted and officers alike.
ETA: This is in the article as well, but here's a short bio on Captain Light.
Captain Light is a member of the faculty in the Department of Command, Leadership and Management at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. After graduating from the University of Southern California with a bachelor of science in electrical engineering, he joined the Navy and attended Aviation Officer Candidate School. He is a career naval aviator, primarily flying the C-2A Greyhound on logistics missions in support of aircraft carriers worldwide, and was commanding officer of Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 40 in Norfolk, Virginia. He is a graduate of the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School, the Naval War College (Command and Staff), and the U.S. Army War College.
