FORT MEADE, Md. (NNS) -- The commanding officer of U.S. Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station (NCTS) Bahrain was relieved Aug. 21 due to loss of confidence in her ability to command.
Commander, Naval Network Warfare Command, Rear Adm. Edward H. Deets III, relieved Cmdr. Mary Ann L. Giese. The decision to relieve Giese comes after a preliminary investigation into allegations that she had been involved in inappropriate relationships with other Navy personnel.
The investigation results call into question Giese's ability to continue to effectively lead her command.
Lt. Cmdr. Donald E. Hocutt, executive officer for NCTS Bahrain, has temporarily assumed command pending arrival of the permanent replacement.
Giese, who assumed command of NCTS Bahrain Jan. 14, 2009, has been temporarily reassigned to administrative duties on the staff of Naval Support Activity Bahrain pending transfer from Bahrain.

“Terrible Holly” could be the next. (Let’s hope so.)
There goes her career.
Don’t ask Don’t tell?
I wonder which side of the plate she bats from?
Fooling around with a junior officer or enlisted man would be my guess.
Male or female?
Most likely, but these days, you never can tell. And don't ask, either...
The Navy’s 5th Fleet Staff Judge Advocate office, based in Bahrain, conducted the investigation after receiving a complaint, Mavica said.
The relationships were “more than just platonic,” he said. There were “several inappropriate relationships … of varying degrees, not all the same,” he said.
It’s worse than I thought.
The homos have their claws in the upper ranks of the military. It’s not like one has to ask to figure some of them out.
So you think she ate at the Y?
LOL... oh, you’re bad.
So the Bush Administration didn’t have the guts to root these people out but Obama does?
“Commanders Gone Wild!” As Seen On TV!
The skipper of USS Peliliu was relieved a couple of weeks ago on similar grounds. In fact, the Navy has busted several skippers over the past year.
News Supplement:
THE head of the US Navy telecommunications
command in Bahrain has been fired
following an investigation into allegations
she was involved in inappropriate relationships
with other sailors, officials said.
Cmdr Mary Ann L Giese, commander of
Naval Computer and Telecommunications
Station Bahrain, was relieved of her command
on Saturday – a few days before
she was scheduled to relinquish it anyway,
according to Cmdr Steve Mavica, spokesman
for the US Fleet Cyber Command/US
10th Fleet.
The Navy’s Fifth Fleet Staff Judge
Advocate office, based in Bahrain, conducted the
investigation after receiving a complaint, Stars and
Stripes newspaper reported.
The relationships were “more than just platonic,”
he said. There were “several inappropriate
relationships … of varying degrees, not all the
same,” the spokesman said.
Cmdr Giese assumed command of NCTS
Bahrain in January last year and had been slated
to turn over her command on Thursday.
But Rear Adm Edward Deets II,
commander of Naval Network Warfare
Command, felt her actions were significant
enough to warrant removing her
from command immediately.
Cmdr Giese was to report to Naval
Computer and Telecommunications Area
Master Station Atlantic. But she has now
been assigned to administrative duties with
Naval Support Activity Bahrain pending
transfer from Bahrain, the paper said.
No decision has been made of her next
assignment, Cmdr Mavica said.
Cmdr Giese is the 13th Navy commanding
officer to be relieved so far this year.
Seventeen were fired last year.
Lt Cmdr Donald E Hocutt, executive officer for
NCTS Bahrain, has assumed command temporarily
pending arrival of the permanent replacement.
Cmdr Giese graduated in 1992 from the US
Naval Academy with a bachelor’s degree in computer
science. She earned a master’s in space systems
operations from the Naval Postgraduate School,
which she attended from 1998 to 2000.
