One can never tell about these things. I was going to be able to make it back home for the birth of my son because we were going to make a port call in Bremerhaven, Germany. But at the last minute, the Development Group cancelled that and had us head home via Halifax, Nova Soctia. My son was born while we made “going home turns” under the North Atlantic.
It turned out one of the DEVGRU senior officers had a girl friend in Halifax that he wanted to visit, and we were the excuse for his official trip. We also found out from several of our wives that he had made moves on them while we were gone.
Later, when he moved to command the Naval Facility where I worked, as a civilian, he brought the same girl friend from Canada to do “psychological” studies of the work force, so I got to meet her. He must have caught the attention of someone up the chain, because NCIS raided his office one weekend and cut open his office safe. Bye Bye.
So one can never tell about these guys. Sometimes they get full of themselves. This one does seem a little messy. Good thing Rear Adm. Brian Losey has a photographic memory, the book should be interesting. ;-)
Someone filed an anonymous complaint with the inspector general alleging that Losey had improperly sought a government-paid plane ticket for his adult daughter when his family relocated to Germany.In fact, Losey had paid for the plane ticket himself, and the complaint was soon dismissed. But enraged by what he saw as an act of disloyalty, the admiral became determined to find out who had reported him, according to the inspector general reports.
The .gov snitch culture just boggles the mind. Compare Hillary Clinton's private email server, Lois Lerner's dealing out confidential taxpayer files like they were chips at a backroom card game, and Jon Corzine's commingling of investor funds to the tune of a billion plus.
"Seeking a government-paid plane ticket for an adult daughter" is MORE serious than these BLATANT FELONIES.
Can I get a WTF??!!???!
SubMareener ...This is probably not the forum for this but just wanted to say that my father was in the Pacific - WWII in a Gato class, the USS Bream .. a little over a year until the war ended. Just wanted to brag on him a bit :)
Amen, brother. The truth will ALWAYS come out. Some of these guys/girls think the regs don’t apply to them.
DEVGRU? For shore-pukes that was generally a good outfit. Sounds like they took out their own trash.
