Your old XO was also a bitter, nasty lesbian?
The pic looks like a dude.
I wonder if it's true.
I just learned that the ENTIRE "Sybil" story was phony.
Oh well. Life is full of lies and liars.
Visiting San Diego, I watched a female (in appearance) USCG senior petty officer barking orders.
She sounded like a teenage girl on a playground, yelling.
She did not sound trustworthy.
“When [the officer] did not hear the helmsman’s repeat-back, [DeFant] smacked [the officer] on her collar bone and said ‘Pay attention.'” The officer said the smack did not hurt but “freaked her out” and she momentarily considered leaving her post by turning the conn over to DeFant. Several crew on the bridge confirmed the incident to investigators.
DeFant told investigators she did not recall this incident.
Another time, DeFant was on the bridge as the ship was mooring to a buoy off San Diego, with one officer serving in the conning position and another as the Officer of the Deck, or OOD, the role that directly oversees a ship’s watch.
As the ship maneuvered, DeFant aske, “Do I have a safe bearing?”
The Conning Officer responded in the affirmative — a response which, according to several witnesses cited in the report, set off DeFant.
“In response, [DeFant] approached [the Conning Officer], grabbed him by his uniform near his collar, pulled him towards her, and whispered in his ear, ‘Was I talking to you…You’re not the [OOD] …I was talking to the OOD…don’t ever interrupt me again’ or words to that effect.”
DeFant told investigators she recalled grabbing the officer “on his arm in an effort to re-focus his attention.”
I’d have hated to be her cabin girl.
At least this lezzie kook was stopped before she wrecked her Navy ship.
Her time of the month was from the 1st to the 31st.
She was lucky she was not personally sabotaged and/or “disalpeared” by some foolhardy enlisted man who would have been paid by an officer. Lots can happen to. crew when you’re underway. It’s like a floating city, virtually cut off from shore
Did she have a husband or a wife?
DIE should Die....
I don’t know how things are generally handled, but for a
woman to do this is terrible. Using the gender to avoid
a strike back, even the hint of that, is about as bad as
it could get, baring long term injury or a fatality.
Guys who have served, have you seen men operate in this
manner? I would certainly hope not.
But I bet your old XO wasn’t a chick.
A Queeg-ette.
Those bull dykes can be mean. I suppose that’s why lesbian couples have such a high rate of abuse.
I gotta say, this sounds a little "snowflakeish". If everyone involved were male, it would be no big deal. The junior officer would take his lumps and not screw up next time. When I was on watch and gave direction, I demanded people pay attention. Lollygag on watch and you might just get a little "old navy"...
How does a bad actor like that even make Captain? Should have been passed over at Lt. Commander.
Definitely a man hating lesbian.
Nob big deal. We had Jr HS football and basketball coaches who would do that.
