From Bluegrass to Blue Water: Lessons in Farm Philosophy and Navy Leadership
by John Palmer, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy, Retired
The philosophy found in this work is the product of a childhood on a tobacco and cattle farm in central Kentucky, education at various schools and a three-decade career in the U.S. Navy while simultaneously contributing as a husband, father, and grandfather. This book will be separated into phases reflective of the major changes in my life: the farm, schooling, and a navy career. The lessons learned in earlier phases were often exported and applied later. The ever-increasing levels of responsibility served to teach new lessons. There are occasional farm yarns, school tales, and sea stories added to illustrate practical application of the farm philosophy, education, and navy leadership lessons I learned along the way.
