Cucinotta, after an investigation which made Cucinotta lose confidence in Kissoon&#8217;s ability to command.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The decision to relieve Kissoon came just a day before Marines announced the death of a Marine recruit, 20-year-old Raheel Siddiqui, of Taylor, Michigan, which remains under investigation.<\/p>\n<p>However, Carroll said the relief was connected to an investigation that wrapped up in late February and was tied to specific acts of alleged misconduct by Kissoon and not connected to the battalion or Siddiqui&#8217;s death.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The last commander to be fired was Lieutenant Colonel Kate Germano who was fired for being &#8220;overly aggressive&#8221; with women recruits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Devtun sends us a link to Military.com which reports that another battalion commander of a training &hellip; <a title=\"Lieutenant Colonel Joshua Kissoon, MCRD battalion commander relieved\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=65063\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Lieutenant Colonel Joshua Kissoon, MCRD battalion commander relieved<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65064,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[184],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-marine-corps"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=65063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/65064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=65063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=65063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=65063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
