You can’t fly a flag representing your CIC?? Bizarre.

Sorry guys, but I have to agree with the Lt. Under the "Good Order and Discipline", servicemembers will not engage in political activities while in uniform. Before anyone screams freedom of speech, you can take off your uniform and do what ever you want as long as it doesn't bring discredit upon the military. This is clearly spelled out in military regulations.

But flying a Rainbow Flag OVER the stars and stripes is okay, right? I’ve heard some enlisted say they were ordered not to ‘make trouble’ when others did this.

And that same rainbow flag is hanging front and center in the lobbies of at least a few Veterans Administration buildings...

Once, a politician gains office, the political activity officially ends.

If and when such a thing were to occur, I doubt very much whether we’d hear about it. It seems to me such games are played in the shadows, and behind closed doors, or way out in the back of beyond.

But what do I know, I’m just an average joe out here in flyover country.

When possible, true, but when the target isn’t prone to traveling in the boonies they’re still the target.

They were flying a flag with the name of their COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF? And that’s a crime or infraction how?

WTF is wrong with the US Navy’s hierarchy now?

In the Navy, a Captain is a higher rank than a Commander.

She’s probably just the public relations officer. I presume she’s not guilty until there is evidence to the contrary.

thank you for your service..

I'm the daughter of a Veteran..
I'm a sister of a Veteran..
I'm a wife of a Veteran..

The Military has been a part of my life for ever...and I can't image anyone having respect for Hussein Obama..

But our POTUS DJT will be the best CIC we have had in 60 years...
