Do the names David Robinson, Napoleon McCallum and Roger Staubach ring a bell? Seems to me they also graduated from the US Naval Academy, and were professional athletes of some repute—yet they were able to balance their commitment with their athletic careers. Johnston has yet to enter that class. I’d hope some crusty old Chief Petty Officer will have a heart -to-heart talk with the LT to advise him of his error.
That said, I’m thankful for all of the Naval Academy grads who embody the Navy Values of Honor, Courage and Commitment.
Comparing Robinson and McCallum, who both whined about and attempted to get out of their commitments, with Staubach is Bravo Sierra.
