One of the primary duties of an Intelligence Officer is to stand up and brief Commanders and Command Staff with what they need to know to conduct operations.
This means we are trained how to speak in public and how to concisely convey essential information. This means you start as an Ensign standing up in front of increasingly senior officers. I came in to the community as a Lieutenant. Fortunately for me, I learned public speaking in college. The Navy made me better.
The First Rule of Admirals is: NEVER, EVER waste an Admiral's time. They are unforgiving.
The good news is that every flag officer I ever met seemed to have an eidetic memory. You never had to tell them twice. The staff, not so much.
I can stand up and speak for an hour on a number of subjects at a moment's notice. The shorter the amount of time I have to speak, the more time I need to prepare.
