The officer in charge of the U.S. Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has been fired for a “loss of confidence” after he allegedly had an affair with a woman whose husband was recently found dead in the waters off the base.
Captain John Nettleton was relieved of command on Wednesday by Rear Adm. Mary M. Jackson, commander of Navy Region Southeast, “due to loss of confidence in Nettleton's ability to command,” according to a statement from the Navy.
The statement declined to give additional details because of an ongoing investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), which is focused on the death of Christopher Tur, a civilian employee at the Navy Exchange on the base who had moved to Guantanamo with his family in June 2011.

“Oh, one more thing.” What a good way to throw away a career.
I have to say though that men or women who have achieved high ranking SHOULD PROBABLY BE LIVING THEIR LIVES AS MORAL AND ETHICAL AS POSSIBLE TO BE ABOVE REPROACH...
Yes Gretchen Corbett was a Goddess
Even then you aren’t above reproach. Not in this world.
Evil is good, and good is evil, funny that evil is evil too but not if the evil like you. Good is never good though. No matter how you cut it.
oh I ma sure he will be replaced with yet another homosexual
This is something which needs to be overturned too as bozo is putting homosexuals in all sorts of high positions within the Pentagon and the military
That goes for Gen. Petraeus too. Idiots.
You can’t handle the truth....
His best defense might be to claim that he is gay. Probably earn him a promotion.
Indeed she was and probably still is (for her age).
Yeah, life lesson here.
If you must be unfaithful to your spouse, you better get down on your knees and pray every day that neither your spouse or the other party's spouse turns up dead.
Investigators will instantly drop every other lead when they find out. And they always find out.
Active Duty ping.
I had a former commander, also an 0-6, relieved of command for the same reason a year or so after I’d left on an overseas tour.
If they get caught in an affair, then it pretty much happens. The death could have been entirely coincidental, a suicide over loss of affection, or something accidental. Who knows?
What matters is the affair all by itself would have caused the relief from command.
I’d say it’s much more likely that the wife killed him.

Saddens me to see those I want to respect, fall to human frailties. Hope the truth comes out.
