Agree...
What many don’t realize is that the top CO’s are held to almost unattainable standards. Any misconduct that can even remotely be attributed to leadership typically results in said leadership being removed for “lack of confidence”.
Analagous to this...Used to be that if a dependent was, say, caught speeding or running a Stop sign, the active duty member was eventually brought to the 1st Sgt or CC and expected to “explain” why he had delinquent dependents. Silly, how is a jet mech, working on a jet during the incident supposed to know what his dependent was doing? Didn’t matter, as the “leader” of the household, it was the member’s responsibility to ensure his dependents were informed and followed the rules.
Thanks for the insight and some background on this “story”.
Well said and I know this to be true. My beloved Son in Law was fighting in Iraq but my daughter lived in Ft. Carson. My daughter told me that any miscue would reflect on him.
I never wear my seatbelt but I always did when I rode in her car on base
Yep, you are either knew about it and didn’t make e right decision, or you didn’t know about it and you are too stupid to be in charge.
