I was never Navy I don't know what their protocols are or how they operate my suspicion is someone was on a conditional contract like they have a pre-existing medical condition so the Navy took them on but can let them go any time when they stop needing that person to do the job they were doing , they were told they were setting up the captain for a photo op , and they were tired of being on that ship America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I can't imagine any legit reason why the captain of a navy destroyer would touch.....let alone be firing.....any such weapon in regular course of business. I can imagine someone taking a picture of a guy clowning around. Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

I can imagine someone taking a picture of a guy clowning around. There's every reason a commander should be familiar with all pieces of equipment under his command. Will he ever have need to man a weapon himself? Only if he's the last man standing but he needs to know what can and cannot expect of the marines that will be using them. One of the best officers I ever served under was my battalion commander LTC Gatlin 82 Engr. He made it a point to get stick time on every piece of equipment in the entire battalion and not just in the motor pool. The guy could move dirt with the best of us and as a result we were better for it knowing that the old man would never ask us to do the impossible and we weren't going to be out operated by an old man.
