Pass the Saltpeter....

Oh, I'm so not sorry I "said" that. Somebody had to....

I saw something like this in the Navy. A friend of mine was banished from a command assignment on the mainland for "fraternizing with the enlisted." Actually, he was a naval officer (Commander) who impregnated an enlisted gal. After that, he was reassigned to Adak, Alaska, and put in charge of the aviation maintenance dept (for P3 Orion submarine chasing aircraft). Originally, he was Commanding Officer of a famous fighter aircraft squadron (out of San Diego..of course). So, don't be all that surprised with this hanky panky going on at flag rank levels. i'm sure there's more of it than the FBI can keep up with as they snoop around, playing Gladys Kravitz with all those emails...
