Throw away a career and pension for that ...
I don’t get it.
It’s not like he didn’t pay.
Bring females into the fleet and then ALL MANNER of unremarkable stuff gets criminalized.
Can you IMAGINE a member of the US Navy employing a prostitute..?
Good God above....!
I mean, I never HEARD of that..!

Another great example of the standards NOT applied to leaders instead being applied to the Nth power to the Ordinary Joe.
WHY go into the military at all...?
If you’re going to work in a 100% PC environment, why not make better money in the private sector, huh...?
He should have gone queer and just spent his time in the torpedo room- US Navy Approved!
So I suppose he should have made them work for free?
I don’t think the punishment of demoting him was appropriate.
If otherwise he had no other problems, I think he should have been warned, but not demoted.
A sailor who doesn’t patronize hookers? Is he supposed to cultivate some kind of long-term relationship with the local women during his days of shore leave? Is this some kind of joke?
Some articles intimate that he provided them to members of the crew.
I guess there could be considered spoiling the crew...
A man has to be a fool to be in the US military these days.
Maybe he just identified himself as a lesbian.
What....now Sailors are not supposed to enjoy the LBFMs? That’s breaking with centuries of naval tradition in that part of the world.
NOW !! LIBERTY, LIBERTY, LIBERTY !!
Liberty is hereby granted to all non-watch personnel. Liberty will expire onboard at 0600 - 14Jan2019. All personnel departing on liberty are required to check out with the duty Corpsman prior to departing so you wont have to check in with the duty Corpsman upon your return.
NOW LIBERTY !!
I was on restriction to the Boat and my buds brought girls onboard for me! got caught by my lieutenant in the act over a handrail in the engine room and it didnt get very high up the chain before he was told to grow a pair “...and quit bothering me with this bullshit!...”
its a crock he got demoted... fkn PCism at its finest!!
This should be a big “SO WHAT?” Having sex with a honeyco was expected when you hit a PI port. It was the only sex with another person you were likely to have on a West Pac cruise when I was in.
When I was homeported in Yokosuka Japan 1960-62, we didn’t pay for the ‘homeport honey’ BUT ‘helped’ her in other ways like rent, food tips at work...Unique situation when one went to sea she had OTHER benefactors so money wasn’t a real ‘problem’ with #1 squeeze.
Rules were SHE could ‘earn money’ while at work which was socializing but she normally wouldn’t date when ‘you’ were around BUT if talking to another employee you best not sit to close or buy drink for...
Strange ‘rules’ but it worked.
And the old Navy standard - ‘A girl in every port’ was alive and well...
Oh to be young etc etc etc....
I’d be in negative ranks, Leavenworth, or life in prison if I were to be in the military today and did what I did 45 years ago.
In 1973 my submarine’s XO told us, as we were about to embark on liberty in Haiti and then again in Jamaica, exactly where not to go... down to the street address and then repeated the street address several times.
P.S. But that was before they put women on ships.
Up periscope!
There’s a politically incorrect saying that a soldier that won’t f@@@ won’t fight. I would expect that to also apply to sailors.
