Very odd to resign that close to retirement unless........

In the Army, those rewards come with being an Officer leaving an assignment for another. JR officers get the lower awards, the more senior, the more prestigious the award just for doing a good job and moving on.

Maybe she is throwing an anti-Trump temper tantrum.

From my time in the military I’ve found that there are born leaders and born followers. Perhaps the stress and fear of being in charge was just too much for her. If that is the case, best she quit before her ship sailed.

>>I expect she’ll be charged with a handful of UCMJ violations. And then they’ll investigate why all of this drama....

Only if the staff judge advocate in her chain of command can clearly identify an offense under UCMJ, or else convenes an Article 32 investigation (same as grand jury), can this officer be court-martialed. And if she is, merely publishing a court martial convening order means her career is cooked even without a conviction.
Doesn’t seem to rise to that level, yet. But this is the Navy, and commanders of ships are considered expendable.

Actually you might have had more influence on us, the readers, if you had said less.

‘Affirmative’ action hire demonstrates why ‘affirmative’ action is a failure.

XO steps up without missing a heartbeat. New Captain will be appointed. Maybe she got tired of the BS.
