start drinking after that. I used his death as an excuse to drink exactly the way I wanted to: uncontrollably. The Navy didn't cause my alcohol abuse. I brought it with me. No Sailor initiated my alcohol abuse, no overbearing chief or leading petty officer, no long deployments or crazy working hours. Sometimes I could drink a couple of beers, play video games, and go to sleep.

Good morning Master Chief Marlatt and Senior Enlisted Leadership Class 66. My leadership philosophy has been heavily influenced by my career as a Surfman and some of the people I have served with. First, what is a good leader? Many of my peers would say a person who is a good lifeboat driver. Does that person have the guys to cross a rough bar at night?

Throughout my career I have had many different levels of leadership from junior people that would lend a helping hand to senior leaders that always had my back and the answers to tough questions. The most influential person in my career was a First Class Petty Officer when I was fresh out of school and new to the ship. I had never been to sea and was excited to learn.
