Sounds like the admiral got what he wanted. Gallagher out. Disappointing.

No, Chief Gallagher was already planning on retirement...

Gallagher had already put in for retirement set for November 30. The Navy then pulled a nasty one on him with the Trident review on December 2.

Gallagher wanted to retire. The navy tried to retire him at a lower pay grade and without his Seal status. Trump re instated his pay grade and allowed him to retire. The admiral(green) did NOT get what he wanted...maybe Trump will can him next if he opens his piehole again.

You missed something.

No, Gallagher said on F&F this morning he is retiring. He gave no indication that he was being forced out.

From Stars and Stripes today:

Trump reinstated Gallagher’s rank after the SEAL was demoted as punishment for posing for [a] photograph with [a] corpse. As a result of the actions during the past few days, Hoffman said, Esper has decided to let Gallagher keep it.

Keep his rank and not the corpse, I would surmise.

I saw Gallagher on the tube briefly this morning shouting past the cameras and media shills to the effect that he would be back at work tomorrow (Monday) and that he was glad the troubles were behind him.

I think Gallagher got what HE wanted, unless I missed something.

Chief Gallagher had no choice but to retire, and even if he did, he would likely choose to do so. I am glad to see him retire with both his Trident AND his Anchors. He earned both, and he should enjoy the respect they bring. Too bad he can't retire as a Senior Chief, as he was selected and was due to be promoted when when he was Court Martialed.

[OldGoatCPO]

Gallagher had all ready dropped his retirement papers. Takes about six months (minimum) to process retirement. This administrative review was BS because he has a retirement date. Had he tried to stay in for years longer and not retire, the review board would be appropriate. Now it just seemed petty.

[reasonisfaith]

The admiral got the opposite of what he wanted.

Happiness is a warm ZOT.

Eddie wants out. He said so over the weekend on Fox.
