Admiral relieved of duty 6 months after taking the helm of Carrier Strike Group 15
Stripes ^

Posted on 01/10/2016 7:49:50 PM PST by traumer

The commander of the Navy's Carrier Strike Group 15 based in San Diego was relieved of his duties Friday, the Navy said in a release on Saturday.

Rear Adm. Rick Williams was removed from his position due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command, the release said.

The Navy's Third Fleet Commander Vice Adm. Nora Tyson relieved Williams based on the results of an investigation into allegations of misuse of government computer equipment.

Williams took command of Carrier Strike Group 15 in July 2015. He has been administratively reassigned, the release said, to the staff of Commander, U.S. Third Fleet.

Until a permanent relief is identified, Williams will be replaced by Capt. Chris Barnes who will serve as the interim commander.

The primary mission of the San Diego-based Strike Group is to train Pacific Fleet Carrier Strike Groups, Amphibious Ready Groups, and independently deploying surface ships prior to deployment.

For a while FR had a resident apologist for Obutthole's firing of top officers, saying it was done all the time, he was doing nothing out of the ordinary.

Dunno what happened to that clown.

The article linked at #7 states that Hussein fired this admiral because he questioned the use of naval personnel to conduct a personal house hunt for Hussein in Dubai.

Your post raised a question I’ve had for a while: has anyone in the media ever spoken to or interviewed any of Obama’s former University of Chicago Law School students? Is anything published that we can find online?

The only thing that I have ever read in the MSM was the NYTimes link to Barry’s exams for his students and two of his lecture memos. Lightweight (his IQ “off the charts”, sure but which way “off the charts”?)

This dribble, written by a supporter who just happened to be in his law class.

I hear you but that article is labeled in the headline posted on FR with a little parentheses at the end “Russian Propaganda” and the article itself starts by quoting an intelligence report ‘circulating in the Kremlin’.

Perhaps the website knows about intelligence reports ‘circulating in the Kremlin’ because its linked to the Kremlin in some way shape or form.

My post is based on my limited but significant knowledge of the real issues faced by Americans in uniform today.

Lack of morale under Obama’s leadership plus booze, drug and sex related issues along with a purging of the ranks caused by budget cuts which will worsen as more money has to be shifted to the creditors of the USA as Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and yes Barack Obama have set the nation on course to a 20 trillion dollar plus debt by 2017.

In 2012 I was honored to meet the commander of the 3rd Fleet.
He , along with the OIC MARFORPAC were gathered in a small meeting room to present me with a civ-mil support Cert of Appreciation . The VADM 3rd Fleet gave me his personal challenge coin , and one for the major training exercise the 3rdFleet were involved with at that time . The OIC MARFORPAC named me as ‘ a friend of the Marine Corps ‘ , ( and his coin ) Great honor , but I thought that had to come from the Commandant only . MARFORPAC is the single largest command in the USMC , and my uncle served in the U.S. 3rd Fleet during WW2 . He was on the Missouri when the Japs signed the surrender . Funny how history rolls around ....Now the 3Fleet VADM is this gal . An Obama appointee ?

...I guess it’s selective enforcement...

Naa, just more creative use of that “proprietorial discretion” thingy.

LOL At the Philly Navy Yard and they were told to work slowly and milk it. Even President Trump won’t be able to say YOU’RE FIRED to 25 million people.
