USN Commander relieved of duty

I follow the USAF some being that was my branch. The big thing there is they are relieving commanders due to “lack of confidence “ which to me more times than not is a catch phrase might as well say “we got rid of ten because we decided we didn’t like them anymore”
 
ouch
i bet the gunners mate that handed him the rifle was making a joke, but come on you know everything and anything is posted online now. unlike my days were we could have serious practical jokes
dammm sad
but freaking hilariously funny at the same time
but wait.... the gunner mates put it on backwards...omg they need to be looked at now, because gunners mates have zero sense of humor, their knuckles are to close to the ground
whollyy banana world

I read somewhere the new commander is a transgender "Woman". Seems fitting.

OH how I hate having to appear to defend a swabby ;). I would be far more concerned if this was a INF. DEV. commander. Do Naval officers even qualify with a rifle? Way To Go Navy, standing behind and defending their own. ouu, ouu, ouu, they are laughing at us, somebody must pay. Relieve him, ruin his carrier. Maybe he had a MAGA bumper sticker on his POV.

FTDOD and the Navy. Why in God's name would anyone serve in today's military?
 
I read an article about this a few days ago, and as crazy as I think the Navy is, if in fact they relieved a competent CO from duty for this infraction, all I can say is I'll never again recommend any young man or woman to sign up. I was Navy for a period and did laugh at the picture at first. I couldn't open the OP's article since I use ad blockers, but in the one I did read it was implied he showed carelessness and bad judgement in allowing this photo taken since it was posted so many times on social media and made the Navy 'appear in a bad light' ... therefore the Navy had lost confidence in him. I guess my question then would be if in fact it had not been posted on social media but kept aboard among the officers and crew, would the Navy still have dumped him? Should we as readers have lost all confidence in him and convicted him for carelessness and bad judgement? Now, I can't say for sure whether or not the pictured (Captain Christy?) above is who actually relieved the Commander, but the Capt in this photo is no Capt. There would be four bars on the shoulders if that were true. So, I have no idea who actually relieved the CO, and I have no real idea whether he was really that incompetent, or whether it was just a lark among a CO and his crew at sea (doesn't happen often, but does occasionally). But this story is so F---'d up in so many ways, it's really hard to say.
 
Here’s another good one for ya.

Montana Army National Guard apologizes following recruitment poster outrage

A Montana Army National Guard recruitment poster is gaining major attention, but not for good reason. German World War II soldiers were mistakenly added in, sparking outrage online.

Talking about tradition, then posting the background picture by some ahistorical, poorly read and educated puke and cleared by same.
 
I highly doubt the picture got him fired, but maybe subjected him to some scrutiny.

About a year ago, the Office of Special Trial Counsel (OSTC) began prosecuting sexual assault cases. Allegations of sex assault, sex harrassment, and other cases are now referred there. Prior to that, those matters were handled by the commander of the unit at his discretion. I have noticed a significant increase in reporting of senior leaders being fired since then. The military always uses the "loss of confidence" reason in their press releases with no specifics, unless formal charges are brought for trial. I suspect most of those firings are related to sexual misconduct that are coming forward due to more stringent reporting protocols.
