Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The sailor, whose name the Navy will not disclose, was administratively disciplined

I wonder what the punishment was.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I'm assuming enlisted since it says sailor and not officer, so I can make a guess. Captain's Mast, busted down a rank, loss of half pay for a month or two, restriction for a month or two, extra duties for up to 45 days.

If I was a gambling man I'd say the full 2 months at half pay, busted down, and the full 45 day with restriction and extra duties without the extra 15 days of restriction along with an official letter of reprimand that stays in their service record. The odds of them getting an honorable discharge goes down due to that, but it's possible if they turn their shit around. That last part can haunt them for life if they end up with anything less than general under honorable conditions.

Restriction if the sailor is deployed means they stay on the ship when everyone else goes home or on shore leave. If you're on base you don't get to leave the base and many of the bases have a specific building where those folks are kept together. It's kind of like being in recruit training without the extra instruction and without most of the forced exercise, plus you can still drink soda and eat garbage in the galley. In both cases you don't get a lot of unsupervised time.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply - I appreciate it!

Unless trump wins the election

Not really. He likes people who don't get caught.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

He is going to be made a GOP demagogue

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Promoted to "Rear" Admiral.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Surefire way to get court marshalled. Maybe he did it to get out.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Or maybe this is his path to Secretary of the MAGA Navy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Depends on the next election.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

The president is the chief of the armed forces. This is a biiiiiiiig fuck up. This is insubordinate behavior.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Riiiiiiight

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Administrative discipline, which means non judicial. They didn't get court martialed.

Edit: not marshal. Oops.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Anyone's health records should be restricted and include an audit trail of anyone who's accessed them. Idk why the article made it sound sad of this is preferential to the presidency.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Way back when, I worked for what was then called First Union bank (now Wells Fargo by way of Wachovia) as an online tech support person. During training we were told that all account accesses are logged, but certain accounts (e.g., president or vice president) were also actively watched, and could result in a visit from the secret service.

I would imagine that’s a common protocol in scenarios like this; all access is logged, but certain high profile individuals get that extra umph and are also actively monitored for access.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I would imagine that in this case the access is restricted to a specific group of users IDs but the system logged the attempt to log in (and was actively monitored for attempts).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Seems about expectable.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Health Care “System” I worked for tracked and audited this automatically. Could only access patient data of patients you were assign and the software tracked how often and when the data was accessed. Had a nurse almost get canned because the software showed that she was accessing a patient’s data outside of hours she would have been seeing the patient. Turns out her install was buggy. Forgot what exactly it was that cleared her.

But yeah, I’d have to think the records of the president would have much more security lol. Or maybe not?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I can only imagine it was fubarring with timezones to get that to happen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

OMG, a buggy install did that? How on earth?! I hope she was compensated for undue stress, poor lady. I would think anyone in public service would have extra security, but who knows?

If you want to ride the pony, you're going to want proof that it doesn't have crabs.
