Quoted: Shit dude, it’s a female, POC, and probably claimed to be a lesbian… Surprised they didn’t promote her. View Quote Being female has nothing to do with it. There were other Chiefs involved too. The breach in discipline and character is alarming. A whole level of senior enlisted leadership is compromised. How did that happen? How far has this breach spread? |

Quoted: Man, does anyone in the Navy actually make it all the way through an assignment without being relieved? It seems their turnover rates are insane vs the other branches. Now not a navy guy so maybe someone can chime in but historically is all these issues noted over the past few years sort of just normal? Cultural rot? Just way more published now while they used to handle inhouse etc? View Quote Navy firing leaders on ships for any and all fuck ups is pretty normal. |

Quoted: You're right but you also won't pick up that signal outside of the house once you're 50yd away from the ship and by that point, I'm pretty sure the enemy assets see you View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: You're right but you also won't pick up that signal outside of the house once you're 50yd away from the ship and by that point, I'm pretty sure the enemy assets see you Lol, your computer won't. A $300K spectrum analyzer on an aircraft will see you from real far away, especially in open waters devoid of EMS saturation. Quoted: I've been doing maritime Starlink installs for a while now Several of Starlinks primary operational frequency bands are in the same range as X and S band radar. The Starlink MES is a directional transmitter using beam steering, and most likely transmissions will look indistinguishable from S/X band radar unless you're directly intercepting the transmission beam This is one of the reasons we have a minimum safe distance and angle envelope while deploying starlink near the radar mast There are a bazillion other signatures someone could snoop for indicating there is a USN ship in the vicinity including the known Link-16 bands I'm not saying it isn't dumb to throw your own personal Starlink on a USN ship, but the freakout over it magically advertising the ships very existence is a little over the top If you need to go EM dark you can do so and follow your EMCON protocols. I'm pretty sure her starlink isn't part of those protocols. |

There are a range of antennas and signal flag lines, etc., there.

Electronic transmissions are the primary way to initially acquire a ship in the Pacific

It’s the repeated lying and covering up that’s the problem. It’s more palatable that dumbass E-3 would pull some shady shit and attempt to cover their tracks but senior enlisted, E-6 and above for sure, along with any commissioned officers who pull shit like that and lie when caught are beyond being redeemable and are untrustworthy and should immediately be escorted off the ship and right the fuck out of the military. Her DEI status is what probably saved her from what anyone else who has a Y chromosome, is straight and is pigment challenged would get if they’d done the same thing. What a disgrace to my old Navy to keep shitbirds like her around.

Quoted: One would assume, at minimum, they have a nice big switch on the circuit to turn it off as needed. Especially after watching Russians get HIMAR'd based on geolocated social media posts for two years. A more interesting question is why it took that look to get noticed? Most average level corporate IT departments periodically scan for, or the automatically get reports, on rogue wifi. You'd think that would be even easier at sea. View Quote Wasn't just them. US assets got located with a fitness tracking program too. Because, that's the military. Someone told them to not do that, so there was no reason to look for it, because that's how it works.

Quoted: Even assuming that the wireless encryption was secure, you are still broadcasting either a 2.4 or 5Ghz signal, likely both, constantly. Do you think that maybe, just maybe, enemy assets could detect and track that signal? That's not stupid, that's not giving a shit.

Yes and no They currently emit, if there are indication and warning of war with a peer advisory, they go to receive only. Non-terrestrial ISR makes hiding harder but with the vastness of the Pacific the primary cueing to look at an area is electronic emissions |

Quoted: I think I found the problem here. Women don't belong on combat ships. "Marrero was relieved in late 2023 after repeatedly misleading and lying to her ship’s command about the Wi-Fi network, and she was convicted at court-martial this spring in connection to the scheme." View Quote You're gonna have a hard time making that make any sense unless you can somehow make the hordes of male COs, XOs, and CMCs who have been relieved of command for misconduct of similar or worse nature irrelevant. |

Spoiled brats
My first cruise in 94 we had things old school. Letters with a 2 week delivery time. International calls when we hit a port. 2nd cruise in 96, ATT came and installed sat based pay phones at $5 a minute. 2 phones for about 5000 people. The khakis had their own phone so they didnt have to wait as much. We also got this newfangled thing called email. Most of my shop was clueless how that worked. Being a nerd with BBS experience I jumped on that immediately. It was censored but way more convenient than snail mail. |

Saw a guy in the army get busted for lying about a ranger tab (wore it, didnt earn it), he was previously at ranger regiment...got busted from e6 to e5...within a month cheated on a pt test, go reassigned to a different platoon and got e6 back within the year. Similar last name to this individual...

Basically all lower enlisted sailors are up to some shenanigans or another.
Upper enlisted folks were once lower enlisted folks who never got caught By the time you hit CPO, you're either really good at it, or mostly knocked it off. It's about a 50/50 split. I'm guessing she lied to most the rest of the Mess about it being approved, which is why they played along with it. |
