But if he did, his body of work speaks for itself, 4 years in Command of two vessles which were reeling when he arrived, and were stellar when he departed, even if the last exit was not under good circumstances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-84761088327436146992012-02-20T06:44:17.790-05:002012-02-20T06:44:17.790-05:00I partied with Rob when he was XO in Yoko.

While I am not going to say what his actual violation was as it is an ongoing investigation. I can tell you having served with him, that this rose colored picture that people are painting of him is not the case. He made a lot of enemies because of how he treated people and his general arrogance that is seen quite often with Commanding Officers in the surface navy. The people I feel for the most are his family who are no doubt going through a rough time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-73864504373237717252012-02-18T08:29:00.251-05:002012-02-18T08:29:00.251-05:00Shocking is the best word to describe this news. ...Shocking is the best word to describe this news.
