I Like The Cut Of His Jib !!

Musings, leadership tidbits and quotes posted by a retired Navy Captain (really just a high performing 2nd Class Petty Officer) who hung up his uniform a bit too early. He still wears his Navy service on his sleeve. He needs to get over that. "ADVANCE WARNING - NO ORIGINAL THOUGHT!" A "self-appointed" lead EVANGELIST for the "cryptologic community". Keeping CRYPTOLOGY alive-one day and Sailor at a time. 2015 is 80th Anniversary of the Naval Security Group.

Sixteenth Navy Commanding Officer fired

The commanding officer and command master chief of Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron FIFTEEN were fired on 1 September after two accidents in the Middle East, including one that killed two squadron Sailors.

Commander Sara Santoski was fired for a “loss of confidence” in her ability to command.

She was fired by Captain Paul Esposito, commander of Helicopter Sea Combat Wing Atlantic. She has been reassigned to AIRLANT’s staff.

HM-15's Command Master Chief, Bobby Anderson, also was fired because of “unsatisfactory performance.” He was the 11th senior enlisted leader fired this year.

NAVY NEWS said...: Initial findings from the assessment show that Cmdr. Santoski failed to strictly enforce appropriate operational, maintenance and safety standards and that she failed to ensure a proper command climate.; September 5, 2012 at 12:52 PM
