The guy who allowed it was promoted to captain. There were 3 stars in the office who could have intervened and did not.
Now, if that clown sitting across from your Dad had been ON a ship, his career would have ended.
Sitting he was sitting in an office in the E-ring, he gets promoted.
Truly, the Navy way. No accountability for the guys behind the scenes. Used to make me nuts.

When my dad was XO on the destroyer Marshall and destroyer tender Prairie, I admired the Navy. I considered it a possible future employment. By the time he finished 2 1/2 years at the Pentagon, a couple years as XO/CO of the Arlington, the 7 years as XO of 32nd St Naval Station (San Diego), I was no longer interested.
I make my contributions as a civilian DoD contractor.
