Should an officer be allowed to continue to serve on Active Duty after being relieved from command?

Some officers are meant to command and lead, and others probably should never be allowed the opportunity. I'm a witness to the case of an ousted ex-commander now working as a staff-O "leading" a highly technical department - his lack of technical competence and inability to mentor and lead others is obvious. Should such an officer be "encouraged" to separate or retire early to make room?

As was said by my peers, not everyone is cut out for leadership. I have met quite a few people who were not very good leaders but were excellent instructors and matter experts in their field . As far as should an officer be allowed to remain on AD, that all depends the circumstances and should be judged on a case by case basis.

Absolutely. Now as for Enlisted they need to bring back specialists ranks.

I think that if you as commissioned officer or senior enlisted service member get relieved of command/duties you should be encouraged sometimes even forced to retire. If you get relieved of command/duties is pretty much like being fired or am I wrong ?

If you where around for some time like 21 years you experienced. Bad leaders. When I was totally frustrated. I'd say sir lead follow or get the hell out of the way.

I wish it was that easy but yes, no one should just be passed along. I witnessed it all to often.

This should be a reason to separate an officer, not to make him someone elses problem.
