Well, it seems that another Flag Officer has had \u201cissues\u201d serious enough to result in removal from their position. But this one\u2019s kinda entertaining in a way.<\/p>\n
The Navy has at least temporarily reassigned the President of the Naval War College<\/em><\/a>, RADM Jeffery Harley, to another position. Seems he\u2019s under investigation. The college’s Provost, Lewis Duncan, will serve as Acting President until the matter is sorted out.<\/p>\n Why is RADM Harley under investigation? Well, according to this article<\/em><\/a> RADM Harley allegedly sent emails inviting numerous subordinates over to his office to play Twister (though, apparently, not \u201cnaked Twister\u201d) or receive “free hugs”; kept a margarita machine in his office; and invited subordinates over to his office to drink during duty hours. There are also apparently significant questions about his management of the Naval War College\u2019s budget and his use of hiring authority at the War College.<\/p>\n In short, it appears he was acting more like he was running Delta Tau Chi (AKA Animal House) than the Naval War College. <\/p>\n Hey, I\u2019m not against having fun. But a margarita machine in the office, and emails offering \u201cfree hugs\u201d and\/or invitations to Twister games? Really, Admiral?<\/p>\n I guess no one told RADM Harley that Faber College wasn\u2019t in Newport, RI. And, Admiral: it\u2019s \u201cLet\u2019s play Twister, Let\u2019s play Risk<\/b>\u201d<\/i><\/a> \u2013 not \u201cget blitzed\u201d. (smile) <\/p>\n Sheesh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
