I wonder how long he's been there. For as much as we might blame Obama for certain decisions in the last 8 years, there were appointees who implemented the policies. This admiral, by chance or by choice, likely participated in the implementation. Perhaps he was too willing to implement the CINC's policies.

Yeah, the politics is so thick at that level you can cut it with a knife. It appears that he and the CNO were on different sides of the coin.
Sacrificial Lamb.
Always need to find someone lower on the totem pole to take the fall.

This page does not list Honarary doctorates, so I may be mistaken. I believe he recieved at least two, One from Pilsbury BBC and one from Hyles-Anderson.

Interesting and verify's what BA has been saying.
Excellent article.
Historically it has been an approximately two year gig and he was at the 1 year 11 months point. I read that he was supposed to be formally retiring in the next couple of weeks.
Well, I've heard he has some experience in the subject.
Hmm, maybe he's taking one for the team.
NOW GO TO YOUR STATIONS ALL THE SPECIAL SEA AND ANCHOR DETAIL.
I am pleased to have the perspective of you and BA. this article is great.
I know it is no way near the same, but if someone has never read Two years before the mast by R,H. Dana it is well worth the read. The day in day out watches, work to be acomplished, and dangers of the sea even in those sailing ship days will give you an insight to the fatigue factor.
I also like the memes of sailors sleeping on file cabinets.
In the peace time army it is 9 months of 6-4:30 with weeks of 2 shift field duty interspersed throughout the year. There were many times that I worked several shifts straight and felt fatigued, but 6 months or more at a time is unconsionable.
I'd have to redo the math, but if I remember right, my last 6 months I was at sea pulling over 100 hours a week.
I never counted but it was always like that. The old adage about there not being enough hours in the day is doubly true at sea.
