Stellar example of leadership here. People don't suddenly change- how does a guy with this little leadership ability make it to Command of a cruiser? The command board really nailed this one. http://www.stripes.com/news/us/navy...to-cabin-for-weeks-during-deployment-1.297213

He's from Notre Dame.

The guy who replaced him is a classmate of mine, one we all knew was going places.

Let's hope he isn't #4.
