Article from 2017. Chiefs Beware: The outrageous loophole that officers can use to kick out CMCs

It’s easier than ever for command senior enlisted advisers to get kicked out of the Navy without ever being found guilty of misconduct.

This article is a couple years hold but it's still relevant to anyone who's been in uniform. The military can be a great career, but the fact is there is always the lingering possibility of facing disciplinary action simply due to the personal opinion of the commanding officer and all the bureaucracy surrounding it, whether or not there was any actual violation. I enjoyed my time in, but got into more leadership positions this was always in the back of my mind. Since my job was involved in administration, I saw first hand many good highly qualified people find themselves in an unlucky position and see their life get ruined. Unfortunately that's just a chance one takes in this line of work.

‘He would be the first to kneel’: Pat Tillman exploited to attack Kaepernick, biographer says

The death of Pat Tillman has been used to strengthen political talking points since he was killed in 2004.

This is one person's opinion. I have no idea what Tillman would think so I wouldn't be surprised either way. Personally, I have no problem with Kaepernick's actions and I'm retired Navy vet. This might be a surprise to a lot of people (tho it shouldn't be) but a LOT of vets support him and what he did. I know quite a few and many of them have been in the thick of combat so when anyone says what Kaepernick did was disrespectful to our veterans they need to keep in mind that veterans are just as divided as the civilian population at large. It actually get's fucking annoying when people think they are speaking on my behalf because again we vets are not cyborgs who all think alike. Do I think Kaepernick a hero? I don't know if I'd go that far. I said I'm not the least bit offended but I really don't know his mind and heart. I actually think it's kind of entertaining watching both sides go at it. I'm sure that will make me enemies on both sides but whatever. I DO think it's rather inappropriate how so many are appropriating what happened to Tillman's image for their talking points. Oh well, makes for entertaining internet banter.
