Have you ever seen the Navy uniform? Imagine being dressed like that and walking down the street in some Indonesian port town.
Maybe it was even the town where Obama grew up and you know what his mother did for a living.

Boats and sailors certainly aren't my forte, but perhaps a PACOM, command oversight, supervision and monitoring issue is involved. Could someone ring the club, or the golf course please ?

Navy, not Army, Besoeker. Having worked w/ Seventh Fleet, there isn't 'golf course' or 'club'. There isn't enough time.
Operations officer for Seventh Fleet is a high-profile, 'trusted position', usually given to a front-runner. Port reassignments are usually routine and wouldn't normally draw attention.
Given the Navy's current politics, I also suspect demographics and Misiewicz's "back story" are strongly involved as well.

Heads rolling, Pappy?
Hope so. Wonder how many rolled due to greasing Hasan's slide to Ft. Hood.

Military medicine is different from operational forces. Navy COs get relieved a lot more than they used to, though more for political reasons than for incompetence. Like I said, I suspect demographics and Misiewicz's "back story" had a lot to do with this.
As you can well imagine, the Navy, with its overwhelming commitment to diversity, combined with CDR Misiewicz's then-stellar record, would place such an officer in what is a very high-profile, high-responsibility position.
Apparently Commander " Vannak Khem" had some... shortcomings.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
