As a commissioned officer, your commission is for lack of a better term, revoked and you are essentially fired. One of the tenants of command is having the responsibility for the safety of your ship and it's crew while carrying out the orders of those in the command authority. The end result is dependent upon the outcomes from the Courts of Inquiry and the Courts Martial board.

I am waiting to see if this becomes the NAVY's Mi Lai. Lt. Calley was merely doing what he was ordered to do by Majors, Colonels and Generals, did they get their asses hung out to dry? Noooo only him. Just as Captain Charles B McVay III was hung out to dry for the sinking of the Indianapolis. when it was Admirals and other higher ups who screwed the pooch. Someone has to be blamed and it is rare for 3 and 4 star admirals to go down in flames, so they blame others when those who were actually to blame for these two collisions was actually OBAMA for cutting back the Fleet, Cutting back the manpower and cutting back the funds needed for training. The OOD were not properly certified to stand OOD, the lookouts were not properly certified to be lookouts, and the CIC was not properly manned by properly trained people who knew the AEGIS system. The AEGIS system can track every air - surface and sub surface contact within sight and even t some over the horizon if an E2-C Hawkeye or an E3-A Sentry is airborne.

Obama hater?? You mean Barry Soetoro?? Why should I hate someone who tried to destroy our Republic by spending his and his significant other's ass off on Million dollar vacations every other week. Pushing Socialist agenda's cuddling up to and bowing every 2 bit dictator and every other leader in the world instead of standing straight as the President of the Free World should be. He tried his best to destroy our Army, Air Force and Navy by cutting back on manpower, Cutting back on maintenance funds and operational readiness. He gave away Billions of dollars to the terrorists, released terrorists so they could return to the battle field and kill more of our people and released traitors instead of hanging them on Nationwide TV as a determent for any others who wanted to give away our secrets or uranium. He is a Socialist He is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. and only a blithering idiot cannot see it. So why in the world would I hate that SOB??? My Commander in Chief wore the Uniform of my Republic. He did not mooch off the Republic by stealing funds to go to a school that has no record of him as a Foreign Student. and continue to lie through his senate term and run for President and 2 terms as POtuS and is still lying through his teeth. Just my 2 cents.

I have a question, how does the Navy for that matter any branch of the military fire 8 Naval Officers. Unless things have really changed. Personnel are Discharged with it being one of 4. And I guess that they can be forced to retire, however do they still have benefits?
