WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy announced Jan. 15 that Robert C. Martinage has resigned as Deputy Under Secretary of the Navy (DUSN)/ Policy, Plans, Oversight, and Integration (PPO&I).

Martinage had also been performing the duties of the Under Secretary of the Navy. Effective immediately, Thomas W. Hicks, Deputy Under Secretary of the Navy/ Deputy Chief Management Officer (DUSN/DCMO), will perform those duties until a new Under Secretary is confirmed or until further notice, whichever comes first. Hicks will also continue his role as DUSN/DCMO.

Criminals getting caught. Not unhappy.

I don't think his activity was criminal. It was certainly inappropriate.
The resignation, which Martinage announced to his staff Tuesday morning, came after allegations were made of inappropriate conduct with a subordinate woman, the sources confirmed.
I'm curious. Why do you think his behavior was inappropriate? He is not covered by the UCMJ to my knowledge and I don't believe affairs are an offense in the law outside the wire. He was discrete about it. (This is setting aside the nonsense about him 'verbally approving' a ridiculous buy.
I didn't say it was unlawful, just inappropriate. I didn't say it was an offense either. I just believe it is inappropriate to have a relationship with a junior person in the chain of command.
