A Navy commander who served as the executive officer of a submarine repair facility in Georgia was relieved of duty on Aug. 24, the Navy announced Monday.
Cmdr. Vincent J. Wood, who was second in charge at the Trident Refit Facility at Kings Bay, was removed from his position because of an ongoing investigation into allegations of personal misconduct, the Navy said.
Wood, who had held his job since April, was removed by Capt. Gunter Braun, commanding officer of the facility. Wood has been administratively reassigned to Submarine Group 10 at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay.
According to the Navy Times, Wood is accused of having an affair with a married civilian employee. The Times said he violated a protective order that required he stay away from the woman.
Quoting a police report, the Times said the two were found together on Aug. 23, and the woman's husband got into a fight with Wood, who was then hospitalized. Wood suffered "a large contusion to his left eye, several knots on his head, an abrasion to the bridge of his nose, a small cut under his nose, and abrasions to both knees," according to the report that the Times quoted.

Sounds like the husband did a job on him. Nothing good ever comes from dating a married woman.

Actually nothing new when it comes to matters of the heart, so to speak. Its just that now all these people are being hold to a much higher standard of conduct with absolutely no regard for ability to fight our real enemies.
