When you reflect on your life to date, what distinct experiences leap to mind as the most inspiring? Was there a spectacular event that left you aglow to this day? Maybe an encounter with someone who made an enormous difference to you or your family. Or perhaps it was simply a quiet moment of insight generated by an extraordinary idea.
I recently experienced an occasion that represented all of the above and more for me. Before you worry that I’m being overly sentimental let me assure you, my epiphany involved jet engines so loud they literally rattled my bones. I’m referring to my recent participation in the Navy’s “Leaders to Sea” program (that’s a group shot of us at lower right). During my 24+ hours aboard the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, I was privileged to witness operations as the ship and crew performed requalification exercises off the coast of Norfolk, Virginia.
Too often in life, we are inspired to action, only to let the moment pass. This time, I didn’t want that to happen. Instead, I am thrilled to announce my personal Web site recently launched – http://gonavy.poseycapital.com -- dedicated to sharing my onboard experience. I hope you’ll take a moment to tour my new site. (My personal favorite page is the Flight Deck Tour, so if you only have time for a brief visit, feel free to begin there.)
During the coming months, I want to network with people who are interested in learning more about the Navy. It’s one way I hope to pay back the Navy for the amazing experience they shared with me. Please help me spread the word by sharing this site with others. Feel free to:
- Link to this site from your own site(s)
- Tweet about it
- Add it to your Facebook resources
- E-mail the link to those who would find it of interest
Or contact me if you or your group would be interested in learning more.
