The following excerpt is my favorite and I believe relevant to this blog.
“Write-with Your Eyes Wide Open
(See W. J. Toti, pp. 16-20, December 2008; B. M. Burawski and C. H. Depew, p. 8, January 2009 Proceedings)
Lieutenant Colonel Jay A. Stout, U.S. Marine Corps (Retired)-Yes, write while on active duty. As a serving officer offering a critical argument related to your area of expertise, you’ll never be more credible. Additionally, you’ll stand a greater chance of making a real difference. But be aware that you’re likely going to anger someone. Critical articles are, de facto, intended to bring attention to a shortcoming. Well, someone owns that shortcoming and they’re probably senior to you. The intellectually weak and morally insecure among them may come after you.
But you can prevail in the long run. In my own case, the commanders who wrecked my career have already been forgotten; the only marks they made went away when they did their laundry. On the other hand, I’ve created a body of work that will be referenced long after I’m dead.
So stand up and shout. If something needs fixing, explain why. And better yet, explain how. But don’t let the small-minded continue to do small-minded things without sounding the alarm. It’s your duty.”
