These three are “relieved.” What is that in Navy-speak? Desk job?

For now ... but their careers are over. They will never get promoted again and will be forced out because of the "up or out" policies in the military.

Having served as an officer in the Navy during Vietnam, the closest meaning to the word relieved was what happened when you go to the bathroom. It usually wasn’t pretty.

For the time being they get desk jobs until they can be separated from the service or court martialed. They have to do something, the military is not like the cops and puts you on paid administrative leave.
