Navy issue, navy decision. Semper Fi.
They must be short on O6’s that can fly anything more that a golf cart.
This means to me that the Captain likely had his hand forced when he improperly emailed his complaints. If he is being recommended for reinstatement, it would seem to indicate that the issue was somewhere in his chain of command.
Adam Smith actually represents WA (not CA), the super-ghetto parts of King County... and is a piece of liberal shit.
I trust the Navy brass, but I wouldn’t give this Crozier guy command of anything but a shiny desk.
So, will there be some consequences in his chain-of-command if what you write is correct?
No, I don't think so.
The Secretary of Defense had the final word.
If he goes back to that same ship, the conflict may start anew. There was a certain officer on that ship that this captain has never gotten along with. Don’t put those two back together. They’ll be locking horns in no time. It will divide the crew. Give him a different ship to command.
Readiness ratings and issues were always classified when I was in the military. If what I read about this is true the release of readiness information in an unclassified email is certainly grounds for relief. But then again, you have the Clinton precedent in the background these days don’t we?
Don’t take it Cap’n! There will always be those in the Pentagon who hold it against you.
It will makee Trump look bad. I say ask for the blessing of Nancy/Chuck.
I believe that there already has been a change in the chain of command. Someone was forced to resign, but I can’t remember who. I think it might have been the one who spent a quarter million on the trip out to address the carrier’s crew.
Bad call. Crozier should have been fired and should remain fired. There is little if any room for poor judgement at that level and with the awesome firepower at his fingertips.

But Im sure that they have no shortage of O6 Diversity Office Directors who could be diverted to captain an Aircraft Carrier. I know that that would require a change in the law but to not do it would be sexist or racist .... or something.
The guy that put our national security at risk by informing the world that we had a crippled war ship.
What would happen during a war when his ship was ordered to take a certain action and he disagreed with it.
Dont take it Capn! There will always be those in the Pentagon who hold it against you.

As they should, IMHO.
Agree on every word
What makes you so sure of that? Who is that officer?
Well, it doesn’t exactly take a genius to run into things.
I do agree with that. His career is over and like someone said, there’s no room for mistakes at that level.
