Would it help to point out that he is still a LINE Officer and NOT a staff Officer.
Intel is considered Restricted Line. You are still a line Officer and rank ahead of all staff officers with your date of rank. You just can't be CO of a combat unit (ship/sub/squadron).
I haven't stood a deck watch in 35+ years but I bet I could still do it in a pinch. It might not be pretty but I wouldn't hazard the ship.

Would it help to point out that he is still a LINE Officer and NOT a staff Officer. I know he is a line officer, But be happier with CentCom or some such. BTW, I don't think he would be done testifying by the end of Feb19.

I could manage as a Duty Officer ashore. If they hadn't canned by beloved 46, I could still fly that.
Re: 1312,
Too bad I take anti-seizure medication. I’m disqualified from serving.
The upside is that I can’t be drafted. No going off to fight a clown war for me.
