A DUI will do that to a career. Such a dumbass. Take a feckin' taxi, Uber, or Lyft.

When I was O-6 reserve side, I'd have after office hours in my Fed job to assist transitioning officers. We had one of these O-6 Trident skippers "loss of confidence" types in the TPU (Transient Personnel Unit). That's where you chill pending separation. He brought his resume in. It was pretty easy to figure him out when he had no clue that "Commander of a nuclear missile submarine: able to destroy cities" wasn't a wise thing to put on paper. I got recalled to work the Ehime Maru incident in Hawaii. Likewise that skipper was relieved. The Japanese press was there in droves. About four hours on site, I told the Flags that they needed a suitably high Government official to come out and bow to apologize. Seems nobody wanted to tell them what to do, but hey I'm a Seabee. Once that happened 90% of the press disappeared and I could focus more on the real job.

I remember that well. I was living on the Big Island when that went down. Sad. . . .

Yea, the resume. I worked for DOL and many career military people just assume the rest of the world understands military language and skill sets. Most have been in a bubble most of the adult life and like to state duties rather than what skills they bring.

Yet another 05/06 fired. What are the GOs that directly supervise these officers doing other than firing them?

You wonder why the Admirals almost never get hit when one of their principal subordinates is relieved and their career ended. Where is the Star-level responsibility?
