Great Sage of the Sea Posts: 894	Subject: RE: And another ones gone Tom, there is a possibility, maybe even probability in some cases that there wasn't a problem with the CO. Maybe there was a problem with an asinine squadron commander, and the ship CO told him to pack sand, or resisted in the interest of his crew. I seen that once.

His grades weren't good enough for that to have him admitted. His major is History. I guess I'm just an old fart but how does all that translate into a leader. whom I thought, was learning to be a leader if in a combat or crisis event. Maybe that's a reason why COs are being removed.
