During my time we had two chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, at different times of course, on the bridge, both of whom asked my permission to sit on the captain's chair.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I respect my father as a father, but I also respect him as an honorable chairman.
My father-in-law was a nuclear-submarine captain. My father was in the military.
I'm sometimes mistaken as the wife of the chairman. I just laugh it off.
Somebody said, 'You may be a committee chair.' I don't think so. I don't think anybody would want me that much.
My father-in-law was once Chairman of Military Affairs in the Senate, the latter part of the Wilson Administrations. He knew a lot about and was fond of the Army.
I was working in restaurants as a captain and as a waiter.
I haven't yet figured out how I was made first captain, because I was not an outstanding student. I was an adequate student.
I was, as president and chairman of the board, required by law to verify the veracity of the financial figures, the assets under management, the number of outstanding shares, et cetera.
I had to delegate authority to the people on my staff. That means you shave away the hierarchy.
When I first came to the House of Commons and walked out into the lobby, men sprang to their feet. I asked them to sit down since I'd come to walk around. I didn't want them doing me favours.
