Appears the investigation is in to his use of a dating app? WTF, he's single. There must be something more sinister here to suspend him from his command. It would be a shock to me if he's done anything to knowingly ruin his career.

The fact that his lawyer is very careful to say it's "not with subordinates" makes me think he may have got caught up dating enlisted/junior personnel in another unit.

I vaguely remember that being allowed/not enforced when I first got in, but I know the policy changed a few years back to be more specific.

Until it’s not…usually after you’ve pissed off the wrong person.

Hey man, the S-1 chick who replaced me in my old unit was married to my wingman. And she cheated on him with a married NCO in the same unit with the SCO's full knowledge. This woman is now a Major.

Yeah, I've read those comments, too. I wish the navy would not release anything and just do it quietly. All this does is raise a million questions.

Is the second one in less than 6 months?

January 15th...every two months, this year?

I've never commanded anything, even respect, but I have it on good authority you can use this one simple trick to avoid being relieved of command:

DON'T DO ILLEGAL SHIT

Sure, that doesn't cover everything, but studies* show commanders who DO NOT DO ILLEGAL SHIT are more likely to avoid "a loss of confidence" than commanders who do illegal shit.

* - And by "studies" I mean "a bunch of crap I read on the internet indicates I'm right".

The bright side is he can focus his energies on writing a book.

DWI was strike 1.

Not self-reporting to command was 2, 3 and out.

Fired Navy SEAL CO arrested for DWI and didn’t initially tell command

There may be some officers whose command time survived a DUI, but I can't think of any. This guy was most likely done whether he self-reported immediately or not.

Then he needs to go.
This is also a case for giving details, and not the generic loss of confidence statement.
