NEWS Congratulations Mikie Sherrill

[ChuckMK23]

Regardless of where you are politically, it's a fine day to see a Naval Academy grad, a former Naval Officer, and. Naval Aviator achieve so much - and be elected to the seat of Governor of the state of New Jersey.

She is one of us in every respect. I believe she flew H-3's with HC-2 in NORVA.

Wasn’t she involved in some cheating scandal at the academy?

Yeah, if by involved you mean that she didn't cheat, and she didn't rat out her classmates when pressed. Pretty anodyne as far as scandals go.

She was, but the story was bought up by the National Enquirer in a 'catch and kill' operation and is now stored away in a safe only accessible to foreign intelligence services, where it can be used for blackmail.

So she covered it up. Sounds pretty bad to me

Fuck off. I was at TBS during the major land nav cheating "scandal" of 2009/2010, the one that made the national news and saw some high profile people from the Naval Academy lose their commissions, and some of those to lose their NFL careers. My company was largely innocent of any wrong doing. I didn't cheat. I also didn't know of anyone who did. When confronted the only thing I could think of is, "why would you risk getting kicked out by cheating here, so early in your career?"

I'm sorry she's not your ticket. But you're a troll at best, and at worst you're a self righteous asshole who can't take an objective look at a scenario. I expect more out of a fellow naval aviator and officer.

I seem to recall SecWar saying something recently about not killing careers of future leaders for little early mistakes…

I suspect, assuming you can still muster 10 people who would consider you a friend, that most of them would frown upon you diming them out for minor infractions. Tell what remains of your social group that you’ll be turning them all in to the IRS for not being 100% forthcoming on their taxes.

Please Monday morning quarterback and tell us what you would have done.
