Former NAVEUR Arrested on Bribery Charges

My favorite part of the story: his salary that he's going to jail for.

I cry zero tears for these people. Just fucking take your FOGO retirement, and go onto a life of fly-fishing, or lead a local charity group.

Their pride gets them into these situations bc they believe they're owed more, once they rub elbows with dudes with way more wealth...IMO

Is it pride though, or just plain 'ole greed? For example, look at all the people the college admissions scandal guy was able to bribe.

If they thought like that, they’d be reasonable people, and probably not make flag rank.

He was a two-star though, like I said 3 and 4 stars are a different animal with individual Congressional approval of all their retirements (and promotions). Major General and Rear Admiral (Upper Half) are the highest permanent ranks, anything higher is based on billet hence the individual approvals for retirement at 3 or 4 star rank. If those ranks aren't approved by Congress for retirement they revert to two-star which has happened in several cases, not an official 'demotion' but a practical one.

I was going to make a smart ass comment about outranking him at the end of our careers, but then read what he did. He got off too easy. F him.

I actually didn't even realize that one could retire as an O-9/O-10. Learn something new every day :)

Gotcha, I failed to make the distinction.

If he chooses to investigate, SECDEF can make the change. Congress and the President only get notified for actions concerning retired O-9 and O-10 officers.

Note that they've already talked about investigating Miley and taking a star away from him.
