Different spanks for different ranks, special rules for special people. Lots of male skippers get canned for far less but Holly the Sea Hag is special.

If nothing else her sister is an admiral. No doubt that’s part of it.

And then the Navy wonders WHY enlisted MEN HATE Officers.

They should have busted her down a couple of ranks.

Here’s another miscarriage of military justice: among the individuals pardoned by Obama is one Edgar L. Kranz, Jr., of Minot, ND. He received a pardon for his courts-martial conviction (as a member of the Air Force) back in 1994). According to military records, Kranz was found guilty of adultery, cocaine use and passing bad checks while stationed in Hawaii. He was sentenced to a bad conduct discharge, 24 months of home confinement and reduction in grade to airman basic. The BCD was later suspended.

Here’s where this case gets interesting. According to Air Force Times, Kranz retired from the service as a Master Sergeant earlier this year. That’s right, even with a suspended BCD, he was allowed to remain in the service, climb the ranks (again) and spend enough time in uniform to earn his pension.

The time when Kranz was court-martialed came just after the mid-point in my USAF career. In the mid-1990s, the service was over-manned; we were offering 15-year retirement, conducting RIFs and SERBs to get rid of personnel. We eliminated more than 10,000 billets just to keep the F-22 program alive.

Against that backdrop, how do you allow an airman who’s been court-martialed to remain in uniform, and let him re-enlist three or four more times? It simply boggles the mind. And, Obama’s pardon only makes matters worse. Now, Kranz is entitled to a full range of veterans benefits and his right to vote has been restored as well.

Obviously, the President didn’t do a lot of checking before granting the pardon. But the USAF screwed up royally by allowing this character to remain in service, and eventually become an E-7. Getting this type of “second chance” is virtually unprecedented—makes you wonder why Kranz was deserving of such favors.

Navy has always had various class and caste systems in place.

Probably why the Marine Corps first mission is to keep the sailers apart!

She should have been busted down to E-1 and then maybe permitted to receive her pension. Maybe !

Seeing a picture of her, she definitely looks pretty “sturdy” ! She must play the male part of the relationship !

Don’t sully the name of Captain Bligh. He was a brilliant seaman who had one bad voyage. After he was booted off the Bounty, he and the men who stayed loyal to him managed to navigate several hundreds of miles over open water to a safe haven.

You take what you can get. I have to admit I’m surprised she even she got this in today’s PC Navy but it’s better than her getting off scot free. And remember, nothing is final until SECNAV signs off on it.

Considering all of the hell she gave everyone on the ships she tyrannized on I’m surprised she just didn’t go missing one morning while out at sea. I guess today’s men are too weak to do anything about problems like this.

One slight slap on the wrist is she is going to get a General discharge although I would have prefered a Dishonorable or Bad Conduct.
