SAN DIEGO - The commander of a Navy air reconnaissance squadron that provides the president and the defense secretary the airborne ability to command the nation's nuclear weapons has been relieved of duty, the Navy said Tuesday.

Is it also possible that either someone asked, or he told?

The writer of this article doesn’t seem to know there aren’t any nuclear powered aircraft..... or cut the article poorly.

`Recon someone he shouldn't have been reconning perhaps. "But a source close to the investigation told The Associated Press that Bentley's removal regarded an undisclosed personal matter and was not related to the squadron's missions or duties"
More than likely.

Recon someone he shouldn't have been reconning perhaps. LOL! That was my first thought.

I wonder if the personal matter was a matter of him boinking some admirals daughter.

I wonder if the personal matter was a matter of him boinking some admirals daughter. Most likely he was boinking someone outside of marriage. Probably somebody in the squadron. Navy takes a dim view of that.

The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
