Exactly. The chain of command ALWAYS applies. - Captain does not go off to the media

or whoever. It really is that simple, and if you knew about the military then you would see how today’s military has changed.

BTW hubby is a vet, two of our kids are in the military right now. USMC and AF. My other kids will be joining once they graduate too.

For all we know, The Navy Secretary leaked his letter to the press. The captain sounds like another Aleksander Vindman type of officer. At least three people, the SECNAV, his Chief of Staff, and his rear Admiral who was right there on the ship with him, apparently had no reason to believe he was seriously dissatisfied with the efforts they were making to deal with the problem.
