It's "martial", or in this case, we would say: "Court-martialed"...still not quite the correct term, but understandable by those not familiar with the terms.
Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine...based on 20 years of service and seeing the constant use/misuse of the term.
But I get your point.
Yup,he’ll be lobbying Congress on behalf of Boeing,or another Defense contractor,in no time!
Better ways to have informed his command?
By HF Radio secure!
The ship was at port in DaNang, Vietnam. Where else would they go on Liberty?! Think before you make a comment.
If must be a mouse in your pocket and I could not care less...........Give me the name of Mr. "Anonymous Source" and we can discuss it further.
Your "Mr. Anonymous" has been the ruin of too many people without any substantiation of his accusations and I'm sick and tired of it. I'm also disappointed in the fact that you aren't either.
How about this headline: XYZ News has obtained information from an ANONYMOUS SOURCE that links a member of the Free Republic website who is known as "CONSERVATIVEPOET" to a child pornography ring....Anonymous Source will reveal more information at a later date..........
Pretty convenient, eh?
April 2: Capt. Brett Crozier was relieved from command of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly announced Thursday.
He drinks a little?
That’s when most people send off scathing emails.
This is good news. You dont go to press to complain. You go up the chain. The guy had a direct line to secretary of the baby. Idiot!!
99 percent sure he has his 20. He may get admirals mast and lose a captain tank. But maybe hell go quietly into the night.
shocking /s
It feels like it got leaked by our friendly neighborhood State Dept.
“Navy removes captain of aircraft carrier who sounded alarm about coronavirus”
- see https://www.axios.com/capatin-nuclear-aircraft-carrier-relieved-d1e43c25-6dfd-4865-b74d-e760ad5c5615.html
I volunteer to go staff it. I am a plank owner of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and could easily update my skills. Provided the Navy updates my retirement that is...
Why would this guy put anything down on email or whatever instead of making a phone/radio call and raising hell?
Apparently, he sent the letter through channels to facilitate its leak. Probably sent to to a bunch of people. He sounds like a good Dem/Never Trump GOPer. Good riddance.
I knew I spelled it wrong but couldn’t remember the correct spelling
Yup. To shut a military person up, relieve them, give them a bad efficiency report which forever screws up their career that just ended for them. Guy is a captain in the Navy, a full colonel in the Army/Air Force/Corp. So, he should have at least his 20 in. Then he can at least retire with his pension, because he ain’t going no higher if relieved. Relief is usually “for cause.” For cause is a career killer!
Just reported on Fox that he has been relieved of duty GOOD he leaked a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle that his ship was NOT combat ready what a complete and total IDIOT to let our enemies know that!! They should kick his ass out of the Navy completely!!!
There’s a kid from a couple in our congregation who’s stationed aboard the Teddy Roosevelt. No word yet if he’s one of those who are sick.
My daughter is on the Reagan and sent me a link to a SF Chronicle story a couple days ago about “the Commander Begging for Help...” I told her to be a bit skeptical primarily because of the source of the Article, also, if he was begging, how did the SF C know about it? well natural the daughter got mad at dad because I questioned her news artcle... so be it! No one ever listens to dad!! lol...
