Navy officer charged with attacking Disney World employees

ChunksJR said:
Wonder if he'll blame hits taken during the 2-3 minutes of football he played for his actions (and subsequently blame the Navy for forcing him to play a sport)...

Oooh…yesss…the TBI defense. Contact the defense attorneys immediately!

I wonder if the Ensign fell while being escorted or "fell" while being escorted

C'mon…he slipped on a bar of soap in the shower…giving him two black eyes. Used to happen all the time…

Good news: One more flight slot for those interested.
 
I was in a class with him, but don't know which squadron he moved on to so I can't confirm any rumors. This definitely wasn't on the radar, but I suppose the Mickey Mouse aggravated assault charge is pretty stealthy. I am trying to look at this from a "how the hell could it happen" perspective but I guess I'm not that imaginative. According to one of the articles I read, his birthday was Tuesday, so maybe it was a post-Primary, near-birthday Disney super bender gone very, very wrong?
 
In the movies this would be cheeky and funny shenanigans. In real life, they're cruel and tragic.

Maybe he did not do enough asshole+alcohol opportunities at the boat school...most state school grads would have been weeded out for this defect before they ever got a commission.

Yeah, you'd think people would get weeded out but when I was there some were given multiple passes.
 
The folks in officer separations at PERS always believed there were early warning signs of potential misconduct that went unnoticed or unappreciated. I don't think any commissioned officer wakes up one morning and decides the time has come to start being stupid. From what we could glean, in many cases there was a pattern of escalating inappropriate behavior that went on for some time before becoming so egregious that some authority figure was forced to step in and take action. As xj220 notes, stuff that happens in undergrad stays in undergrad, so there was a very limited ability for the system to know about potential problem children.

There's also a medical officer assigned to PERS who can review separation packages for any evidence of some medical factor that may have contributed to the misconduct. Renegade1 may have been being facetious, but hopefully that review will ensure that there is nothing else at play here.

The separation process takes a long time. We'll be looking at this young man for a while yet. PERS also usually recommended recoupment of educational expenses in misconduct cases like this. I don't know if the admiral ever endorsed the recoupment recommendation, but being 25, unemployed, facing a possible felony conviction, and eyeing a bill from the federal government for something in excess of $100K doesn't seem like a good place to be.

It's certainly not the happiest place on earth to be.

Many of the enlisted guys that I had who were booted we found signs early in their career or before they came in that would have clued us in on some potential issues, at my last sea command we sat down with every new guy in our department and went thru their entire record to ensure everyone was on the same page moving forward.
