<p>Nope. Not at all. But, as you say, “This being an internet discussion board…” whose principal purpose is to advise candidates and their families about applying to and attending USNA, I don’t know how this thread furthers that mission.</p>
<p>You seem, in effect to be saying in this post and the whole Marcus Curry diatribe-filled thread, “Navy bad - other academies better, more honorable places.” I guess I just don’t understand why it needs to keep being rubbed in our faces.</p>
<p>I think a reasonable person would agree that her behavior was inconsistent with what we expect from a Naval Officer, that she needed to be removed from command - and it probably should have happened sooner in her career - mistakes were made and should be corrected going forward so this doesn’t happen again. What else is there to say, except to repeat the same themes over and over and over and over?</p>
<p>I completely agree with you that she forfeited her claim to any loyalty from JO’s, Senior Enlisted or her crew once she crossed the line. But after that, I’m afraid there’s “not much ‘there’ there” to this story that hasn’t been said to the point of maddening redundancy. </p>
<p>Insert dead horse being beaten even more to death here…</p>
