The Importance of Owning Yourself When Things Go Wrong

When things go wrong in the Navy you have to own it. The first person you have to hold accountable is yourself. I think back on a hostage rescue that we had and I'm always careful about telling the story, but We had a hostage Rescue that did not go well and the hostage ended up getting killed. And unfortunately the guys didn't tell me the truth about the situation But I also looked back on this and realized that some of this was on me. It's one of those things that really stings.
