Navy fires 5 officers in less than a month

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. I believe that protocols from decades past are the best because they kept a lid on sensitive activity. Transparency has its place but for the sake of national security details if an officers firing should be held close to the chest.

I tend to think that in an service any job for that matter there sometimes reaches a point that a person reaches a level beyond their ability to perform the duties of. That tend to catch up with them but by them the damage has already been done. I can think of some that I know that were relieved of Command or other duties put out to pasture or in many case forced to retire or otherwise leave the service. Usually both their own Commanders as well as theirs troops were both well aware of the problem and it had to end and did. This isn't just a recent trend, there have always been some that just didn't measure up and for the good of the service removed from their positions. One case tha comes to mind is a Commander and His Operations Officer Who were both relieved by a Lt. General in their chain of Command and ordered not to even set foot in their former duty section for any reason at all. The were given a cube in another building with no duties to perform pending their removal from the service, the Commander being forced to retire. Another Commander after a congressional Investigation team flew into the base with Him as the subject of their investigation they decide He had to go and in three days He was no longer a Military service Member. Most the Commanders I had were fine and were outstanding officers, these were the exceptions who did NOT belong there.

They must not have been WOKE enough. So, they had to go.
