Navy Times ^ | 23 November 2016 | David B. Larter

Just because you can have a job doesn’t mean you should take it.

Imagine being under this woman’s command facing enemy ships. Would she have quit on her crew and officers too?

Better, I suppose, that those under her and above her, and the enemy, did not have to find her weakness out in action.

That was my thought after reading her bio. I’m puzzled as to how she was selected as the Director of Combat Systems and Tactics Training as well as Lead Tactical Action Officer Mentor at Afloat Training Group San Diego? Her background to that point certainly didn’t prepare her for that assignment. No FFG, DDG, CG experience at all. But she had the Flag Sec job and that’s a must for selection to command.

Chances are this incident involves romance or sex or both.

Navy has been under a lot of pressure. USS Zumwalt, over budget, numerous breakdowns, can’t afford the am,o for its guns. Navy quietly reporting that it is having problems keeping the ships running (maintenance, spares). An emphasis on expensive ‘green’ fuel, transgender changes, etc, instead of focusing on its mission.

Didn't I hear some high ranking military muckety muck say that fighting climate change is their new mission?

I'm sure that's going swimmingly!

This one really pegs the GayDar. She walked off? Arrest her and put her into the brig before busting her to seaman. What a useless “leader”. Yet another LIB idiot.
