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.

How is it that someone can be releived of XO duty early as an O4, still be selected to O5 CMD and then make O6?! It makes no sense when we send people who did great work and did nothing wrong home each year - really makes me question our promotion system, or perhaps it is the officers doing the selecting that should be called into question.
Not unfounded and not rumor, but perhaps not documented appropriately.
If it isn't in the FITREP/EVAL, record, etc then it can't be held against the individual in any way. At least that is the only reasonable explanation that makes sense.
The board can only act upon what is in the record. That's how the process works. Unless someone was on the board who knew what you suggest may have happened and graded the individual accordingly. Only one vote of 0% confidence could ruin a person's chances of promotion.

Sorry not to see a good friend and Harvard grad - Dave Bandy on this list. Everyone has their "pick" and he was mine. He was a pretty good XO for us.

Who/what are you talking about? Sounds like an unfounded rumor.

What you "may" know just doesn't count.
