<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nBobo and Mick send us links to the story of the end of Capt. Anthony Simmons’ career in the Navy. From Pilot Online<\/a> they report that he didn’t lose his job as commander of Destroyer Squadron Two because of his behavior in a bar, but because he lied to investigators about his behavior in a bar;<\/p>\n According to a 40-page investigation received by The Virginian-Pilot through the Freedom of Information Act on Thursday, Capt. Anthony L. Simmons cast his visit to a Chesapeake Wild Wing Cafe as a 20-minute stop to pick up a take-out order during which he had a beer, spoke with the sailor and bought her and one other person a drink, all while his wife waited in the car.<\/p>\n But investigators found that Simmons entered the restaurant alone, dressed in civilian clothes around 6 p.m. Aug. 5 and went to the bar. His take-out food sat there for nearly an hour after he initiated conversation with the female sailor from a few seats away. As other patrons arrived at the restaurant, Simmons moved closer to her and attempted to buy her a drink.<\/p>\n Investigators describe an interaction that is occasionally marked by laughter from both parties but appeared to take an awkward turn at the end.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n He told investigators about the conversation that he had with his wife, but video footage showed that his wife wasn’t with him. From the Navy Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n \u201cThese actions demonstrate both a lack of integrity and a lack of professional recognition of a Commanding Officer’s vulnerability to the vanity of command,\u201d the investigator wrote.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n \u201cCapt. Simmons went before Rear Adm. Kelley during Admiral’s Mast on Aug 31 and was found to have violated UMCJ Article 107 (Making False Official Statements) and Article 133 (Conduct Unbecoming an Officer and a Gentleman),\u201d according to a statement from SURFLANT. \u201cCapt. Simmons was awarded a punitive letter of reprimand.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Simmons was commissioned through the OCS program in 1990.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
