Hi, how's it hang'in yall? Just wanted to share a favorite quote of mine, you can post your own to, anyway:
It is by no means enough that an officer should be capable.
...He should be as well a gentleman of liberal education,
refined manners, punctilious courtasy, and the nicest sense
of personal honor....No meritorious of a subordanite
should escape his attention, even if the reward be only one
word of approval. Conversely he should not be blind to a
single fault in any subordinite.
True as many be the political principales for which we are
now contending...the ships themselves must be ruled under
a system of absolute despotism.
I trust that I have now made clear to you the tremendous
responsibilties....We must do the best we can with what
we have.
-John Paul Jones, september 14, 1775
exerpts from a letter to the naval
commitee of the N.A. insurectionests.
Here's another one:
We've got no place in this outfit
for good losers. We want tough
hombers who will go in there and
win!
-Admiral Jonas Imgram, 1926

I'd be honored to have nick-name like yours. My first name is Joseph. I'm named after "The Ruler of Egypt" as most people refer to Joseph in the Bible. As a matter of fact, all four of my brothers have names starting with J, all named after characters in the Bible. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that, Carnotaur!
