 ● Ship Combat/Material Readiness/Safety are priority! ● You want to be here ● You want to succeed ● This is “OUR SHIP” ● Truth and integrity are paramount ● Excellence is a habit, not an act. We are what we repeatedly do ● Only I say “No” on a bottom line ● Keep me informed! ● Bad news does not get better – and does not travel by phone or email ● Try to bring a solution with a problem ● If you’re reporting it to me, I expect the XO knows the same thing as soon as practicable ● Don’t ask for outside help without working it “inside” first” ● We actively seek Sailors’ inputs ● Our crew is the example of how to “do it the right way” ● Words mean things ● Your signature means things ● I will support and defend you ● I determine operational necessity ● After hours work is planned / briefed ● The wardroom and CPO mess are generally no places of business ● No non-concurrence through silence; no malicious compliance ● CO’s door is always open, but have faith in the chain of command ● “Steady strain” is better than “heroics” ● Remember the 50-90 rule ● We use standard/certified procedures vice tribal myth and folk lore. Procedural compliance! ● We work to a plan – let’s do it right once ● We are gentleman, reasonable and professional ● We are on time and execute events as scheduled ● You will have read the traffic before we meet in the morning ● Evals/FITREPs will be delivered on the last day of the reporting period ● Brief me before speaking to the Staff ● We help others & other ships whenever possible. I approve parts transfers. ● No “open” discussion of a subordinate’s performance in public forums ● I will use the chain of command to command, but I communicate with everyone on different levels. ● We are all working toward specific personal, professional, and financial goals. ● Use formal counseling sheet to document EMI assignments ●
