West Point grad Spenser Rapone was recently given an “other than honorable discharge” from the US military.
The former Democrat lawmaker who nominated Communist Spenser Rapone to West Point strongly disavowed his tweets calling for political violence and claiming ‘Communism will win’.
I felt the offenses raised to the level of Dishonourable Discharge, but I'll take it.

99.9999% of OTH discharges are changed to honorable.

He'll have an honorable discharge in six months.

Even dishonorable discharges can be changed if the person stays out of trouble for some period of time.

Hi, Stacy.
During the early weeks after the USS Fitzgerald was speared by a lumbering Philippine container ship, it was noteworthy that the captain and a couple of admirals were publically named, but not the actual officer in charge, the officer of the deck. (OOD) The other person who should have kept the Fitz out of trouble is the person in charge of the combat information center, the Tactical Action Officer. That individual is supposed to be monitoring the combat radar, which can detect a swimmer at a distance of two miles.
Not until a year later, when the final reports are made public and the guilty parties have been court-martialed, does the truth come out. The OOD was named Sarah, and the Tactical Action Officer was named Natalie, and they weren’t speaking to each other!!! The Tactical Action Officer would normally be in near constant communication with the OOD, but there is no record of any communication between them that entire shift!
Another fun fact: In the Navy that won WWII, the damage control officers were usually some of the biggest and strongest men aboard, able to close hatches, shore up damaged areas with timbers, etc. The Fitz’s damage control officer was also a woman, and she never left the bridge. She handled the aftermath of the accident remotely, without lifting a finger herself!
Look it up: The OOD was Sarah Coppock, Tactical Action Officer was Natalie Combs. . . .
When I noticed last year that they were doing all they could to keep the OOD’s name out of the headlines, I speculated to my son that it was a she. Turns out all the key people (except one officer in the CIC) were female!

It looks like Natalie and Sarah not talking to each other contributed greatly to this collision.

I wonder why they weren't talking ?
Did they like the same boy?
Did one buy the same shoes as the other?
Maybe Natalie and Sarah were BFFs until Stacy came on board and Natalie started hanging out with Sarah?

Whatever it was, it must have been serious.

I'd love to see the sworn statements by the enlisted personnel on duty.
