Bobo sends us links to the stories of two more flag officers who succumbed to their darker sides and joined their peers on the Naughty List. Rear Admiral Rick Williams was fired on Friday from his job as commanding officer of Pacific Fleet’s carrier strike group training command for looking at porn on his government computer, according to the Navy Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

During a routine inspection, Williams was found to have looked at pornographic images on his government computer, violating Navy rules, said a Navy source familiar with the incident. The misuse of the computer did not involve any classified material and the investigation is ongoing, the source added.<\/p>\n

“They have enough information to say it wasn’t just a mistake,” the source said. “It was extensive enough that they knew it was not just an error.”<\/p>\n

Williams, a career surface warfare officer, has been the head of Carrier Strike Group 15 since June. He could not be immediately reached for comment Saturday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess he couldn’t wait until he got home.<\/p>\n

Michigan National Guard Major General James Wilson is being investigated for using his position for private gain, according to the Air Force Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

At issue were two contract proposals submitted by now-retired Maj. Gen. James Wilson for his Springfield, Virginia-based consulting firm Northstar Services LLC. Northstar’s proposals, submitted in 2010 and 2011, contained Wilson’s official photograph in military service dress, according to the IG report. At the time, Wilson was still in the Guard as a brigadier general, and the photograph had his ceremonial one-star flag in the background.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

“Brig. Gen. Wilson’s inclusion of his official photo in uniform for the contract proposal can reasonably be construed to imply that the Government sanctions or endorses his personal business,” the report said in its conclusion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wilson retired in September to avoid the investigation after he got a counseling statement from Vice Chief of Staff General Larry Spencer in January. <\/p>\n
