Man, I was hoping for a different outcome to this story.<\/p>\n

U.S. Navy Capt. Brett Crozier got relieved of his command of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier because he sent out warnings to the Navy brass that his crew was being threatened by the COVID-19 virus.<\/p>\n

The Navy Department<\/a> said he acted beyond the normal chain of command so it sent Capt. Crozier packing … much to the chagrin of the men and women he commanded.<\/p>\n

Now the Navy says he won’t get reinstated, which had been considered. I was among those who thought the Navy shafted the stellar sailor whose only “sin” was to care for the health of his crew.<\/p>\n

I had hoped the Navy would return him to his command.<\/p>\n

Alas, it won’t.<\/p>\n

It’s not all bad news. Crozier will keep his rank. He will be reassigned to another duty post, provided he chooses to stay in the Navy.<\/p>\n

Given that the Navy stiffed him, then teased him with the prospect of being reinstated as commanding officer of the Theodore Roosevelt, and then said “no, you won’t,” I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that Capt. Crozier will call it a career.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your service to the nation and to the men and women you commanded, skipper.<\/p>\n\n
