Das and I basically agree to disagree about this guy's FB profile being relevant to the conversation, but I'll own up to "doxxing" being a poor turn of phrase. I'm not accusing das of throwing anyone's PII out there, for the record.

He had everything going for him - and yet made really shitty choices. Unbelievable. I don't know how or even if you can screen for this. Ego and a need to feel important likely were his sins. Sad to see how much was invested in this guy.
Sounds like a fairly normal career path. O4s aren't groomed for flag - they're groomed for O5 command. Nobody is going to get seriously groomed for anything above O5 until they have a due course O5 command FITREP in hand.This guy was being groomed for flag.
FalseIs VPU considered a SM DH gig? It's certainly not where hot runners go to be groomed for command.

This guy is doing a pretty bad job in not raising suspicion if he's uploading these kinds of pictures in public.

We can't yet conclude it was ego or unplanned/poor choices, even if Lin did commit espionage.I agree it looks like he had everything going his way, he will have many years to reflect on his poor choices while sitting in a 10 x 10 box.
We can't yet conclude it was....Absent new info, it's possible Lin's entire USN career was a cover, similar to James Robert Baker aka Majid Karimi, a NOC whose entry into the Navy was orchestrated carefully by a foreign intelligence service.
DoD really needs to expand the number of people that receive CI/lifestyle polygraphs and the requency that they get them.
