The Mission of the Institute is to provide an independent forum for those who dare to read, think, speak, and write in order to advance the professional, literary, and scientific understanding of sea power and other issues critical to national defense.
Mr. Olive spent 30 years in law enforcement, including 22 with NCIS. Since retiring in 1999, he has run his own consulting and confidential investigations company. A former Marine, he was awarded the Bronze Star with combat "V" for valor while serving in Vietnam.
As an independent forum for over 135 years, the Naval Institute has been nurturing creative thinkers who responsibly raise their voices on matters relating to national defense.
