A Navy submarine commander was disciplined and demoted last summer after admitting to paying for female prostitutes while stationed in the Philippines.
Capt. Travis Zettel lost the confidence to command the attack submarine USS Bremerton and was relieved of duty back in August following the investigation...

Throw away a career and pension for that ...
I don’t get it.
It’s not like he didn’t pay.
Bring females into the fleet and then ALL MANNER of unremarkable stuff gets criminalized.
Can you IMAGINE a member of the US Navy employing a prostitute..?
Good God above....!
I mean, I never HEARD of that..!

Another great example of the standards NOT applied to leaders instead being applied to the Nth power to the Ordinary Joe.
WHY go into the military at all...?
If you’re going to work in a 100% PC environment, why not make better money in the private sector, huh...?
O-4 isn’t senior grade in the Navy.
He should have gone queer and just spent his time in the torpedo room- US Navy Approved!
So I suppose he should have made them work for free?
I don’t think the punishment of demoting him was appropriate.
If otherwise he had no other problems, I think he should have been warned, but not demoted.
A sailor who doesn’t patronize hookers? Is he supposed to cultivate some kind of long-term relationship with the local women during his days of shore leave? Is this some kind of joke?
Navy Captain is O-6
He was a commander was demoted.
Some articles intimate that he provided them to members of the crew.
I guess there could be considered spoiling the crew...
A man has to be a fool to be in the US military these days.
He's lucky he didn't get court martialed. Back in 2005 President Bush had prostitution redefined as "sexual trafficking" and added it to the UCMJ as a specific violation.
It ain't your grandpa's navy anymore. Pay a hooker and you can go to prison, even in a country where it's legal.
Maybe he just identified himself as a lesbian.
What....now Sailors are not supposed to enjoy the LBFMs? That’s breaking with centuries of naval tradition in that part of the world.

I assume you are referring to a “Short-Arm” inspection.
I was on restriction to the Boat and my buds brought girls onboard for me! got caught by my lieutenant in the act over a handrail in the engine room and it didnt get very high up the chain before he was told to grow a pair “...and quit bothering me with this bullshit!...”
its a crock he got demoted... fkn PCism at its finest!!
This should be a big “SO WHAT?” Having sex with a honeyco was expected when you hit a PI port. It was the only sex with another person you were likely to have on a West Pac cruise when I was in.
