Sailor

 Each person is called to play a role in their society as a “doer.” Everyone does something to provide for themselves and their families, to nurture their families, to build financial independence, to contribute to the collective economy, and to serve others in their circle of influence. To live life to the fullest, those who choose “to grow where they are planted” will be able to look back at the closure of their life and have immense pride in the “race they have run.” The stories of quiet and sacrificial service and the critical National Security thinking captured under the Sailor Paradigm leverage decades of service as a Submarine Sailor conducting high-risk operations and leading men & women Sailors in the execution of those operations around the Globe. While there is a National Security and U.S. Navy focus in many of these stories, the hope is that the reader will translate this thinking to their own unique situation and to apply those reflections as they serve in their own unique capacity.
