@curious2garden Reading this article, It reminded me of a question about advance directives language I need to put in my docs, specifically relating to ventilators. There's boiler plate language you can use about survivabilty, terminality but I wonder if it is detailed enough. Attorneys use software to write your docs... This soldier was on 8 days and thankfully had a good outcome. What and how do MD's think about this question and incorporating it into their directives? Thanks

"He (Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday) also ordered a look at how Crozier and his immediate superior on the ship, Rear Adm.Baker were communicating and why Crozier might have chosen to go around Baker by sending the message to both Baker and admirals much higher in the chain of command."

I was SAC also, we were a SAC detachment from Castle AFB when we were on Guam. Guam was PACAF and the base commander used to go around and nit pick about shit outside the buildings like weeds or a door stop outside our doors then have his secretary write up a note for each discrepancy to be sent to the building manager. Our pro-super would read all the notes to us during flight meeting. One day he was fed up, threw them all in the air and called a snow day and told us to go home. So we all got a day off for snow on Guam.

Castle has a very fine aircraft park/museum. A few years ago I went there with my son.

"But reinstating Crozier has its problems. It would put him back on a ship with Rear Adm. Stuart Baker, commander of the carrier strike group of which the Roosevelt is the lead ship. Officials say they did not have a good relationship and that was among the problems that triggered Crozier's memo. (Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike) Gilday may worry that putting them back together would exacerbate the ship's toxic command climate.

But Gilday could also decide that the ship's problems extended beyond Crozier. He could recommend that Baker be fired or punished for not being receptive to Crozier's concerns. Gilday's review could also dole out criticism for leaders who may have taken too long to recognize the Roosevelt's outbreak as the deadly problem it became. Those would include the 7th Fleet commander, Vice Adm. William R. Merz; the Pacific Fleet commander, Adm. John C. Aquilino, or the most senior admiral in the Pacific, Adm. Phil Davidson, head of Indo-Pacific Command.

Gilday, known as an honest, straight shooter, is expected to made a decision based on the facts and his judgment of what is best for the ship's crew and the Navy. But the decision expected early next week can't be separated entirely from politics."

"Medal of Honor recipient Bennie Adkins, who was given the nation’s highest military honor for heroically fighting off enemies and saving wounded soldiers in Vietnam, died April 17 from complications caused by the coronavirus. Adkins is credited with killing 135 to 175 Vietnamese in a nearly four-day battle while being wounded 18 times and helping fellow soldiers to safety. For those acts, former President Barack Obama presented Adkins with the Medal of Honor in 2014."

"An internal Office of the Secretary of Defense assessment calls for the Navy to cut two aircraft carriers from its fleet, freeze the large surface combatant fleet of destroyers and cruisers around current levels and add dozens of unmanned or lightly manned ships to the inventory, according to documents obtained by Defense News. The study calls for a fleet of nine carriers, down from the current fleet of 11, and for 65 unmanned or lightly manned surface vessels."

"Capt. Brett E. Crozier should be restored to command of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, the Navy’s top officials recommended on Friday.
But Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper, who was briefed on the recommendations, has asked for more time to consider whether he will sign off on the reinstatement of the captain of the nuclear-powered carrier.

Mr. Esper received the recommendation that Captain Crozier be reinstated from the chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Michael M. Gilday, and the acting Navy Secretary, James McPherson on Friday. Defense Department officials said earlier that they expected to announce the results of the Navy’s investigation into the matter on Friday afternoon."
