The commander and top officers of a San Diego-based Navy frigate have been relieved of duty after a rowdy, booze-fueled port visit to Vladivostok, Russia. Cmdr. Joseph E. Darlak was removed just over three months after assuming command of the USS Vandegrift.

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to visit Vladivostok and experience all the city has to offer. . . . Our sailors are especially looking forward to making new friends." Mission accomplished!

With that on his resume, he should run for the Senate, as a rat.

I think that they were told : “Don’t drink the water , you don’t know what’s in it !”
A playful way to avoid ‘Montezuma’s revenge” , and/or the “Rocky mountain quick-step” .

Every time I see another one of these stories about a commander being replaced I get the sneaking suspicion that it’s nothing more than an Ubama move to shore up his homo military.

They should never have discontinued the rum ration;)

They should never have discontinued the rum ration;)Well, they've brought back cabin boys, sort of, so can rum and the lash ( between consenting swabbies of course ) be far behind. ( Can I say that? I mean it's not as if I were promoting Applethorp's work is it?)
