Even if you cannot convince the "old farts" now that change is good, the changes you push for today could influence the next generation of officers -- and they may be facing a whole different threat than exists today.
So don't despair if your work doesn't seem to have any "immediate" effect. You do not know how it could change things in the future.

So true. As the Program Manager for all Naval Unmanned Air Systems, the biggest problem I have is affecting change and overcoming the, "old farts".
Their knowledge base has a hard time with new capabilities, very similar to the "Battleship Navy" in the 1930 that thought aircraft carriers would never work.
