Admiral reprimanded for drunken, naked escapade at Florida hotel
Stars & Stripes ^ | 12/7/15 | Craig Whitlock

The Navy announced Monday that it has reprimanded a two-star admiral for getting drunk and wandering naked around a Florida beachfront hotel while attending a conference with defense contractors.

Rear Adm. David F. Baucom, the director of strategy and policy at the U.S. Transportation Command, became so intoxicated at an upscale beachfront resort in April that he struck his head on a barstool, wet his pants and needed an escort back to his room, according to an investigative report by the Naval Inspector General.

A few hours later, still in a haze, Baucom re-emerged from his room without any clothes on - as his door automatically locked behind him, the report states.

As the admiral stumbled around the grounds of the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club desperately looking for a towel to wrap around his waist, he was spotted by two alarmed female guests who reported him to hotel security.

Is a Rear Admiral in charge of the steering wheel at the back of the boat?

Why?

It’s quite normal for “customers” to meet with the contractors to discuss their performance, work out any issues, discuss plans forward on projects or support, etc.

They’re called Working Groups or Integrated Product/Project Teams...as a USAF jet engine mechanic / SME, I attended numerous meetings with GE, PW and associated vendors to discuss jet engine related issues.

We had to be convinced by them that their product/resolution was viable, cost effective and relevant before the higher ups would “greenlight” anything and pay them.

“...getting drunk and wandering naked around a Florida beachfront hotel ...”

Been there... done that... but it was in Hoboken... and in January.

It wasn’t pretty... there was... shrinkage... involved.

Sorry for that, it took my iPad when I was in the crapper.

It’s been locked back up in the cellar with no food or heat.

Cubs sign Ben Zobrist.

And they trade Starlin Castro to the Yankees for a 5th starter/long reliever and some driftwood, salary dump.

A buddy of mine used to say it wasn’t a great (as opposed to good) liberty unless you s__t your pants...I’d say the admiral was getting pretty darn close to a great liberty.
