Capt. Gregory McWherter, executive officer of Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, was relieved of his duties by Vice Adm. William French, commander of Navy Installations Command. The move was made based on initial findings of an ongoing investigation into allegations of misconduct and an "inappropriate command climate" at the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, or Blue Angels, based at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla.

“inappropriate command climate”

The man is a true American military man, and does not believe that gays are a true representation of The Blue Angels, who represent outstanding American Naval Flight personnel, and are military ambassadors of America, wherever they perform.

Sounds like a female took offense to something. “Command climate” is usually shorthand for something that is either Racist, Religious or Heterosexual — although as others have pointed out, it could be almost anything.

I have a hard time believing any flyby would allow gundecking of the maintenance logs formanplane he is taking into the sky.

This sounds a lot more like someone was banging an underling or hanging posters of Dallas cowboy cheerleaders or even knowing someone did this and not stopping it.

Good story with high praise for McWherter.

My guess is he had a ritual of praying before flights. But that is total and complete speculation. I do not know the man. I don’t think I know any Blue Angels.

I don’t know about praying. He was on staff when I went through Top Gun. Super good dude, really funny. Did an Elvis routine as part of a pick up band that the Top Gun staff had at the time.

results from a complaint filed by one person.

There you have it, what is completely B.S. about the modern pro-homo military. One twit with a grievance can bring most anyone down.

He probably had not accumulated enough annual Othergendered Tolerance Training Credits for 2013.

TO THE GULAG!

Or maybe he just got caught with some one else’s wife.

No, that couldn't possibly be it. On FR, anything and absolutely everything regarding the military has to do with homosexuals now. There is nothing else going on, apparently.

He failed to show enthusiasm for the feculent policies of Der Halbeschwarzefuhrer.. Soon, an oath of loyalty to 0bama, personally will be required..

He was a man and talked and laughed with his men about man things...

how insensitive of him(s)

seems the faggots and feminazis are running (and gumming up) the works...
