ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lieutenant Commander Robert Crosby is a graduate of the U.S. Naval War College, where he earned a Master of Arts degree in national security and strategic studies. He is a nuclear submarine officer. Lieutenant Commander Crosby was reared in Hot Coffee, Mississippi, in the Mississippi Delta, the poorest region of the poorest state in America. As a youth, no one in his inner circle possessed a high school diploma, and his greatest mentor during this time possessed a fourth-grade education. Enlisting in the Navy as a cook afforded him the opportunity to receive a college education, two master's degrees, and a Capitol Hill assignment, while pursuing a career as a nuclear submarine officer. He completed sea tours in USS Hampton (SSN 767) and USS Rhode Island (SSBN 740). Lieutenant Commander Crosby's inspirational story has been shared across the nation by the Navy, including in local newspapers and the Navy's All Hands magazine. Crosby wrote My Journey from Hot Coffee to Scrambled Eggs to Nuclear Submarines, as well as this paper, to inspire underserved youth. He is the founder of a nonprofit organization called BOOST--Broadened Opportunity for Outstanding Student Selection and Tracking. This program selects, tracks, and mentors high-performing students in underserved communities and "boosts" them beyond their environments to achieve their maximum potential. Crosby hopes to demonstrate that the Navy can not only fight and win wars but also can change lives. Crosby became interested in the stories of Vice Admiral Samuel L. Gravely Jr. and his successors because of shared themes that revolve around beginning in meager circumstances, overcoming obstacles, and advancing in the Navy with the assistance of others. Crosby's story mimics the themes of the struggles of Gravely and his successors to overcome racism and social, economic, and workplace exclusion to make positive contributions to national defense. The author's message of using "A&W"--attitude and work ethic--to advance in careers that require specialized training and credentialing is enduring and is relevant now and will continue its relevance into the twenty-first century and beyond.
