Three U.S. Navy leaders, including two serving aboard a destroyer, were ousted late last week, the latest in a recent string of removals by the service.
USS Bulkeley commanding officer Cmdr. Devine Johnson and Command Master Chief Earl Sanders were relieved of their duties Friday because of “a loss of confidence in their ability to effectively function as a leadership team,” the Navy said in a Saturday statement.
Capt. William Harkin, the deputy commodore of Destroyer Squadron 2, will be temporarily assigned as commanding officer of Bulkeley until a replacement is identified.
Master Chief Petty Officer Christy Reed, of the same squadron as Harkin, will take over as command master chief until a replacement for Sanders is assigned, the Navy said.
In a separate action, Capt. Jeffry Sandin was removed as commanding officer of Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill., on Saturday, the Navy said in another statement.
Capt. Kertreck Brooks, chief of staff of the Naval Service Training Command, has assumed responsibilities of command. Sandin was reassigned to Naval Service Training Command headquarters.
In all, the service has relieved six leaders of their duties since May 31. The three other instances involved the commanding officer of an electronic attack squadron deployed to Europe and the commanding officer and executive officer of the Naval Justice School.
In each case, the Navy provided few details about the removals, saying only that the personnel had lost their posts because of a loss of confidence in their leadership ability.
How many cases like this happen on a typical basis?
Seems like they replaced white guys with women and minorities.
And Putin laughs.
How many of them were “women with penises”? Woke standards have all but destroyed the Navy’s moral integrity.
It used to be pretty rare, til the 'Tailgate' incident ...
Tailhook ... my bad
Patty Schroeder destroyed our military.
So, does “a loss of confidence in their ability to effectively function as a leadership team,” mean that they aren’t up to snuff or, are they against the homo/trans agenda of the gubmint?
Can’t tell, : Cmdr. Devine Johnson.
The thought did cross my mind. I would venture to guess, these guys, quite possibly, are not the patriots they used to be. Who knows?
“Patty Schroeder destroyed our military.”
Well that’s close, but our military was (and is) destroyed by hateAmerica Democrat, leftists and actual communists in our government continuing to this day.
I would suggest that as a military officer....you might come across twenty-odd decision moments everyday...most are mundane and not a big deal.
But in the past forty years...the decision process has become more complicated...more attached to a paper-work trail, and there’s all that evidence laying there if you screwed up two or three times a week.
Add onto it...various people are continually working now to undermine your authority from day one of your arrival. This was nothing something you had to deal with in the 1980s.
Flip a coin.
Tailgate had an element of truth though, ironically.
My very first thought was Secy of Def Austin, who runs the Pentagon before you posted this pic.
Not sure about "typical", but it quickly became common during and after Benghazi. Military purges are common in Iran.
These fellows are inexplicably refusing gender reassignment surgery to keep their jobs. Bend over and obey, gentlemen!
“Tailhook ... my bad”
Tailhook has taken on a whole new meaning...
