The was a pretty easy call by the Navy on a very serious matter. Even though HAMPTON is a high-profile command, the same would have happened to any CO on any boat.

Glad the Navy got it right this time.

Many years ago... Aboard the tin can on which I served, I know that our CO (O-5), in whom we had a lot of confidence, was replaced by what many of us regarded to be a, um, less than inspiring leader (also an O-5).

The first CO? Bounced after making the next promotion.

The replacement? Currently a relatively famous three star Admiral.

Ugh.

Don't get me started.

Seeing "CO" and "bounced" so close together reminds me of electric floor buffers and the 'Officer's Country' passageway.

I need my aol icons. :-(
