I thought he job of an aid was to free up time of a Flagg officer and to observe the flag officer as a learning experience for the day when they them selves might become a Flagg officer. all of the thing describe sounds like what I thought might be given to a second lieutenant or a enlisted individual.
My military experience is limited to the 13 weeks of basic training I went through 1n 1984 (I was discharged for not informing the military of a medical issue when I joined) it would be nice to hear from an officer about what he thinks was the reason for a public discipline.
All I know is the higher the rank the more valuable the time of the officer involved and the more important it is to free up time for that officer to do his duties that might be taking up 18 hour a day.
the idea an officer would take anything from lower ranking officers and enlisted is sickening that truly is rot the other stuff about being treated as a servant I ask why even include it....taking loans and gifts is enough of a reason to get rid of this idiot.
