You should know, dear reader, we are not among those who despised ADM Jeremy "Mike" Boorda. In fact, we did and always will admire this fine man, who went all the way from Seaman to Chief of Naval Operations. No one has done it before, and it's very likely no one else will accomplish such a feat in the future.
ADM Boorda deserves our respect and remembrance as a great leader who deeply cared about his sailors and country.
On this, the 16th anniversary of his mysterious death, we should mourn his loss, but also demand the Pentagon come clean on what really happened in the Washington Navy Yard on May 16, 1996

Some sailors are beginning to think there is a curse upon the destroyer The Sullivans.
Three commanders have been relieved in less than two years, and one former skipper committed suicide. There seems to be no end to the bad luck that has plagued this tin can.
Latest C.O. to be tossed overboard is CMDR Derick Armstrong.
FEW DETAILS WHY COMMANDER WALKS PLANK
He was "canned" because of "an unprofessional command climate . . . contrary to good order and discipline," a Navy flak said. No further details were forthcoming.

"They shipped the money back to the States" and used the stolen funds to "finance luxurious lifestyles back home," an investigator said.

It's an old trick military public affairs officers know well. When you've got "bad news" to release, dump it late in the afternoon on a Friday to minimize the damage and adverse publicity.
Thus the Army announced they had reinstated CSM Teresa King as Commandant of the Drill Sergeant School at Ft. Jackson, S.C.
It's a big black eye for the Pentagon and proof that the race card can be potent. The Army brass, who seemed poised to put King on the skids, now has to wipe egg off their face. The first female boss of the school, and first African-American, gets her old job back, as of right now.

In the Navy these days, that's the theme of what's been happening since New Year's day. Will we set a new record in 2012? Nine commanders have been canned so far this year.
Latest officers and senior enlisted to go overboard are a submarine skipper, his chief-of-boat, the commanding officer of the troubled San Diego Drug Laboratory testing center, and his executive officer. All were fired in the last few days.

Things are about to get very ugly in the wake of the Army's suspension of a Black female E-9 last fall as commandant of the Drill Sergeant School at Fort Jackson, S.C.
CSM Teresa King has filed suit against the man who fired her, MAJ GEN Richard Longo, as well as CSM John Calpena. The grounds? "Racism, sexism and abuse of authority."
The 50 year-old was the first African-American female to run the prestigious school. Her promotion to that position got her a favorable write-up on the front page of the New York TIMES and her face on television all across the country.

By MAJ Glenn MacDonald, USAR (Ret)
For six long years, the Air Force brass built a stonewall and refused to comment on the unlikely story that pampered and protected former Air Force poster girl, Maj. Jill Metzger (two-time winner of the Air Force Marathon), had been actually "abducted" by unknown kidnappers in Kyrgyzstan.
Her tall tale of escape and evasion, in which she - weighing a scrawny 86 lbs. with the body of a 12 year-old boy - somehow, in the third day of her so-called "captivity," was able to "overpower" an armed guard and run naked some 30 miles to freedom - was met with disbelief and derision from Air Force rank-and-file. But the top generals, especially Gary North, the "bloat-faced bully," scared off any open skepticism. And the "mainstream media," led by the Pentagon house organ Air Force TIMES, did it's best to relegate the shaky story to "the memory hole" as soon as Jill's fantastic tale started to fall apart.
First indications something was amiss came when Metzger wasn't awarded the Air Force Cross, much less any decoration, for her self-described "derring-do." Then, personnel at Moody AFB, where special-treatment Jill was stationed after her fishy adventure, were told not to speak to or displease the little darling on pain of court-martial. The major even was treated to a female captain "minder," flown in from the Pentagon, to make sure no one asked her highness any embarrassing questions.

Webster's Dictionary defines the phrase "hoisted with one's own petard" as meaning "victimized or hurt by one's own scheme."
That could apply to the pathetic attempt by the politically-correct Pentagon lapdogs at Air Force TIMES to slam MilitaryCorruption.com for running what they call "an online smear campaign" in regard to the "dog ate my homework" fantasy spewed since 2006 by pampered and protected Maj. Jill Metzger.
You remember her. She's the two-time winner of the Air Force Marathon, "close friend" of powerful generals past and present, and the only one we know who had the arrogance to run in two major marathons while at the same time collecting 100% "disability" pay. We could paper the walls of the office with e-mails from outraged vets, genuinely disabled, who don't have powerful friends in high places to arrange such a sweet deal right out of the box.

We don't care if Col. Terri Erdag, the very mannish-looking female Marine officer, is a lesbian or not. And anyway, Obama did away with DADT finally (it's an election year, don't you know?). So what's the big deal?
Well, it's kind of like "man bites dog" when you read a Marine Corps press release stating the colonel has been fired from her job as commanding officer of Combat Service Support Schools in part, because she may have "sexually-harassed" what is described as a "senior male officer."
You mean we are to believe the never-married, very "butch" colonel "came on to" perhaps a colonel or general "guy" who felt so threatened by the experience that he filed a formal complaint?

Instead of looking forward to a nice retirement check, perhaps even making light colonel before packing it in, now the 42 year-old officer may soon spend time behind bars.

The hi-jinks started at an alcohol-fueled swimming party beside a Navy apartment complex called "the floating city."
A tipsy female officer decided to take off the top of her bikini, then another female did the same, and soon the male members of the hard-playing party started removing their swim trunks. Geisler, who reportedly was lying back in an inner tube, doffed his, and soon a whole gaggle of officers and enlisted members were nude and making plenty of noise.
Some of the locals complained. Bahrain has its customs, and naked debauchery and drunken behavior isn't one of them.

Air Force 1Lt. Scott Lee is in a heap of trouble, but won't know just how much until an OSI investigation into his unauthorized absence of nearlty three weeks is completed. At that time, it will be decided if the PC-12 pilot is to face an Article 32 preliminary hearing, which could ultimately lead to a general court martial.
The 31 year-old California native disappeared from Clovis, N.M. the day before he was to report for duty at Cannon AFB. Witnesses said he was last seen March 12 driving his POV near his apartment house. From then on, no one seems to know where the young officer went.
How he ended up many miles from New Mexico, at Travis AFB in California, will come out in the wash. Investigators are most interested in just why Lee would split like he did, apparently with no outward sign of trouble.

How quickly the tide can turn.
On March 20, in the web version of Air Force TIMES, that Pentagon mouthpiece got off a cheap shot at us here at MilitaryCorruption.com, while at the same time, trying to promote the propaganda that Maj. Jill Metzger-Mayo didn't tell a lie or lies when she came out with her convoluted "kidnapped in Kyrgyzstan" story.
For those of you who haven't been following this case - like the "politically-correct" editors of the Gannett-owned TIMES - Metzger is the pampered and protected former USAF poster girl and marathon winner who "disappeared" in Kyrgyzstan in September of 2006, only to emerge later with a tall tale so full of holes (see related stories box below) it rivals "the dog ate my homework."
To complicate matters, the well-connected one arrogantly ran in both the Air Force and Marine Corps Marathons, while at the same time, being paid for being 100% "disabled." You won't find that piece of "news" in the TIMES, as they have either ignored all the investigative reporting we've done on this case, or been content to regurgitate Pentagon press releases, even when Jill's alleged "heroics" didn't result in the award of any decoration - a sure red flag that something doesn't add up - like, what really happened.

In all our years of writing and teaching journalism, we've never seen such an irresponsible lead graf. In fact, it sounds like rookie TIMES reporter Jeff Schogol (really a nice guy) was snookered by Pentagon flak Maj.

An Army lieutenant colonel at Base Lewis-McChord in Washington who was arrested for allegedly making threats to kill his wife and commanding officer, as well as blow up the state capitol in Olympia, may be the victim of lies spouted by a vengeful ex-gal-pal.
MilitaryCorruption.com has learned the colonel dated his former lady friend for about three months before he ended the relationship in February.
"She totally freaked out,"said a close observer. "When Bob said it was over, she told him she'd kill herself if he left her. It looks like she had a back-up plan in mind," the fellow officer said.

Robert Underwood's early years included extreme violence. He witnessed his mentally-ill mother murder his two siblings. Then she turned the gun on her son, firing five slugs into the boy, leaving him for dead. He was all of 9 years old.
Some 37 years later, LTC Underwood stands accused of threatening to kill his estranged wife, the colonel's commanding officer, and - according to onetime girlfriend Selena Kiptso - blowing up the Washington State capitol building at Olympia.
The staff officer with the 191st Infantry Brigade, a training support outfit for the U.S. Army Reserve and National Guard, pleaded "not guilty" to felony charges and remains free on $250,000 bail.

It's five and counting.
This week, the Navy fired it's fifth commanding officer of the year. If seventeen more C.O.'s get the axe, last year's total of 22 will be equaled. In a normal 12-month period, between 14 and 15 commanders are dismissed.
The latest casualty is CMDR Jon Haydel who was all set to take over the amphibious transport dock San Diego once that 684-foot ship arrives from the Ingalls Shipyard in Pasgagoula, Miss.
As usual, the Navy isn't giving out many details. However, our friends at the San Diego UNION-TRIBUNE learned from a reliable source that the official charge of "personal misconduct" does not involve a crew member of the ship.
"We can't discuss this further. There's an ongoing investigation," a Navy public affairs spokesperson said.

We were critical of Lakin at the time for letting himself be used by some political opportunists who apparently didn't impress upon the good doctor that his life and career would be ruined once he was convicted at court martial. At the very end of his ordeal, Lakin tearfully pleaded for mercy, but the dye was cast. The Obama administration wanted him punished and that's what happened.

Penland, never one to suffer fools gladly and a proud African-American woman who rose from the enlisted ranks to lt. commander, doesn't believe in just getting "mad." Now, she's getting even.

As you read this, a serious effort is being made by the Obama administration to undercut or eliminate one of it's most severe and effective critics.
Rush Limbaugh can sometimes be an annoying bag of wind. We know other talk show hosts who are more objective and easier to listen to. But we will defend to the death Limbaugh's right to pontificate as he pleases. After all, he is a self-described political commentator, and unlike most of the mainstream media, he doesn't pretend to be non-partisan. With the exception of the FOX NEWS CHANNEL, the other networks and major newspapers and wire services are "in the bag" for Obama.

We've written many articles (see "related stories box" below) about the ethics-challenged Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen. Norton Schwartz. Now, more than ever, he is exposed as a weak and perhaps corrupt leader.
It's bad enough that Schwartz helped bully-boy, out-going Gen. Gary North, engineer the Maj. Jill Metzger (Mayo) cover-up.
Now we have learned the four-star general may have "looked the other way" while a top official at scandal-ridden Dover Mortuary retaliated against three whistle blowers who went to the media about mishandling of human remains at the huge USAF facility.

He should have known better, but apparently the presence of two female chief petty officers at Cheatham Annex, Va. was too much for Command Master Chief Richard Ward to resist.
The 23-year Navy veteran and top-ranking enlisted man at Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group has been relieved after standing mast for "fraternization" with the Navy women as well as "other infractions."
In addition, Ward was tagged with disobeying a commissioned officer, making a false official statement, and misusing a govt. cell phone.

The axe has fallen for the fourth time so far this year. Navy CMDR Jeffrey Wissel is the latest Naval officer to get the boot.
Officials won't say exactly what it was that caused the 1994 Naval Academy graduate to be fired. However, a spokesperson stated Wissel was being investigated for "inappropriate conduct." Read into that whatever you will.
The 40 year-old commanding officer of Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron 1 at the Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island, Wash. had led the unit since late April of last year.

Once he was a top general at U.S. Army Headquarters in Europe. Today he is an admitted child molester and sex fiend. Retired Maj. Gen. John Heldstab is on his way to prison for the next ten years.
The 71 year-old former flag officer has cut a deal with prosecutors in Washington County, Ore. In a plea bargain, the aging pervert admits three counts of sodomy and one of child abuse. He had faced a total of 29 counts. If he lives long enough, and behaves himself in the slammer, the ex-general might get out of prison before he's 80 years old.
Investigators say Heldstab sexually abused a male family member for more than a decade. The victim, now 19, told someone about the repeated attacks and police were called in.
