The report quotes one sailor - whose name and rank are redacted - saying that, "Capt. Brown's leadership style is caustic and intimidating and is something he would consider 'old school' or from the '80s." The Boxer is designed to take combat Marines and heavy equipment to war zones.  Brown was concerned about female sailors and junior officers using birth control because the ship had lost several crew members who became pregnant and could not deploy, the report says. But the women were unnerved by the questioning and thought it was inappropriate, according to the report. Am I the only one who sees the question as being highly appropriate? Ensign Sally Jone is in charge of the radio crew. Ensign Sally works with the radio crew for 6 months. The ship gets dispatched out on a mission, but Ensign Sally is knocked up and now we have to find someone else to be in charge of the radio crew and the radio crew has to adjust to a new boss, while on a mission. Seems like a problem to me. |

The article is pretty short on facts. Im wondering what unwanted touching is? It potentially translates into sexual harassment or assault. Those are always interesting investigations.
Getting handsy with the help is just retarded. |

"The USS Boxer (LHD-4) is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship of the United States Navy. It is the sixth U.S. Navy ship to bear the name, and was named for the original HMS Boxer, which had been captured from the British during the War of 1812." Source Not named after a lib. |

Another incident involved Brown's alleged outburst after finding that a dance class and an academic skills class were scheduled aboard ship at the same time. He did not want to reschedule the dance class because he attended the class, the report says. For a guy that cusses like a sailor, he sure has some homo hobbies. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thank God there is no chance of Sally Jones being killed or dying on deployment so they don't need to adjust to a new boss. The correct answer is you train for the possibility challenges you may face. That would include a planned or unplanned pregnancy of female crew if any. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The report quotes one sailor - whose name and rank are redacted - saying that, "Capt. Brown's leadership style is caustic and intimidating and is something he would consider 'old school' or from the '80s." The Boxer is designed to take combat Marines and heavy equipment to war zones. Brown was concerned about female sailors and junior officers using birth control because the ship had lost several crew members who became pregnant and could not deploy, the report says. But the women were unnerved by the questioning and thought it was inappropriate, according to the report. Am I the only one who sees the question as being highly appropriate? Ensign Sally Jone is in charge of the radio crew. Ensign Sally works with the radio crew for 6 months. The ship gets dispatched out on a mission, but Ensign Sally is knocked up and now we have to find someone else to be in charge of the radio crew and the radio crew has to adjust to a new boss, while on a mission. Seems like a problem to me. Thank God there is no chance of Sally Jones being killed or dying on deployment so they don't need to adjust to a new boss. The correct answer is you train for the possibility challenges you may face. That would include a planned or unplanned pregnancy of female crew if any. Disruptions are always a risk, but any leader worth feeding us going to want to reduce the possibilities of disruption. That would probably fall into the category of being his whole job.

Quoted:
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-captain-of-san-diegobased-warship-relieved-of-duty-20141123-story.html "The captain of one of the Navy's premier warships has been relieved of command after an investigation found that he routinely used foul and abusive language toward crew members and engaged in inappropriate touching and questioning of women." "Capt. Wayne Brown was relieved as commander of the San Diego-based amphibious assault ship Boxer after an investigation concluded that he had "lost the respect, trust and confidence of his subordinates" because of his temper and his behavior toward female crew members, according to the investigative report. His behavior included touching and asking crew members whether they were using birth control with their husbands or boyfriends..." Why must they interfere with rich military traditions?

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Sailors using profanity? Tell me I ain't so. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
He had a tirade for approximately 30 minutes during which time he yelled and pounded his fist on the desk. And?
Inappropriate touching (to be defined) is another thing, but yelling and foul language? Really? Sailors using profanity? Tell me I ain't so. This. Sailors sailoring. If he raped someone, change the charges and hang him. But "Touched" is a very broad term... This case makes it sound like we only want softie men in the military. I'm thinking of telling my grandfather that sailors now can't cuss or they will be relieved of duty, then film his reaction. |

Sure sounds like a impolite man....... wouldn’t want him defending this country. The folks who tattled on him will be much better at striking fear in our enemies.
