Commanding Officer of CGC Relieved U.S. Coast Guard | February 05, 2008 BOSTON - Rear Adm. Timothy Sullivan, Commander of the First Coast Guard District, has temporarily relieved the commanding officer of a Newport, Rhode Island-based cutter following reports of misconduct.
Commander Jeffrey Dow was temporarily relieved from his command of Coast Guard cutter Willow on February 1, 2008, following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate and subsequent loss of confidence by the operational commander.
The case remains under investigation.
"We take these types of allegations very seriously, and we will investigate this case fully," said Capt. Timothy Skuby, the chief of staff of the First Coast Guard District.
Another one??

Give him a chance! Ok, lets allow for due process. But at the same time, be realistic. How many cases do you know where at the end of the day, after being relieved for cause, it boils down to be a "misunderstanding" like someone here already claimed? Comon, you give me a chance. I just hope she was that good because certainly, no one can be worth it!
Hey, you are the one taking about his sexual orientation. I am only saying that like every other case, when a decision like this has been made, it's because there is sufficient evidence to relief him. And with this case, history will repeat again. Nevertheless, I don't feel sorry for him because perceptions are real, and WE are responsible for our own. But that's something a young inexperience PO1 can probably not understand. Go fly a kite!
At what point did I even remotly mention sexual orientation. And with 15 yrs in and a first for the last 4 I am far from inexperienced. And why would I wanna fly a kite?
I wouldn't suggest advertising that you were an E-5 at your 11 year mark when arguing anything remotely related to leadership or experience. The average time in service for people taking the E-7 SWE in your rating this year was less than that.

I was thinking about joining this thread, but I think I was still an E4 at the 11 year mark.
So, was the charge for something that happened on the ship or off? Not that it matters but if he did cross the line and mixed the 2 sides of his life, professional with his personal life and was a problem onboard his ship, then maybe he did a wrong. But if it was a perceved problem, then again, the CG cans a good man and hurts the moral of the unit and creats a hostil work place.
15 years and just a PO1! That explains a lot about you and your comment. Ok I stand corrected, very experienced but not too smart.
Anyhow, yes, someone got relieved for cause for an inappropriate relation. Whether w/ a he or she, both are wrong. But my previous point was that I do not recall one case ever being overturned. This tells me that when this CO was relieved, it was because there is sufficient evidence to do so. The investigation and what comes after will simply provide those in the position to take corrective and disciplinary action w/ the information they need to proceed. But let’s be real, if there is smoke, there is fire.
