Navy fires CO of Leadership and Ethics Command

[Neuromancer]

The Navy ousted the commanding officer of the Navy Leadership and Ethics Command San Diego on Wednesday.

Capt. Lester Brown, Jr., was removed from his position due to a “loss of confidence in his ability to command,” the Navy said in a statement Wednesday.

Brown took the helm of Navy Leadership and Ethics Command San Diego in 2022, and previously served as the executive and commanding officer of the destroyer McFaul, according to his official Navy biography, which has since been removed.

Brown is now reassigned to Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, while Capt. Richard Zeber from Navy Leadership and Ethics Newport will temporarily fulfill commanding officer duties at Navy Leadership and Ethic Command San Diego

No additional details were immediately available, and the Navy rarely shares any insight regarding firing commanding officers apart from the “loss of confidence” statement.

Navy Leadership and Ethics Command San Diego is responsible for spearheading training for officers who have yet to take command, as well as training for the Navy’s enlisted leader development program.

I don’t know what he did and they don’t say directly, but to be a Black man or Black woman in a leadership role especially over White folks you have to be exceptional.

This is not to mention you have to keep your nose extremely clean meanwhile cacs be on video or documented doing reprehensible things and people will find a way to give them a second chance if not completely overlook it.

Hopefully, this breh figures it out and comes back to prestige and prominence even if it’s elsewhere in life.
