A mere week or so after the CNO stopped by, SECNAV Ray Mabus is heading in to chat about energy security next Tuesday (8/17). Mabus, a product of the Zumwalt Navy, is the public half of the Navy Department’s Mabus/Work “Dream Team” and is doing
a great job being the face of the Navy. He’s plain-spoken, and, I think, by arranging to have the JHSV be the first shipbuilding contract signed under his leadership, has already guaranteed his legacy as a darn good SECNAV–and that’s even before the SECNAV’s energy push.
I just hope SECNAV Mabus can forgive me for finding and publicizing his service-time beard–the mane that was, according to SECNAV Mabus, “the bane of my captain and my XO’s presence.”
Don’t miss it! If you are in town and near Marines Memorial, stop in and hear a guy who is going to be recalled as one of the better SECNAVs this Navy has ever had. Time and venue details here.
